A major Geordi character arc revolves around his eyesight. Yes, his prosthesis affords him additional abilities and allows him full function, but that says nothing of the otherness he has felt and psychological impact of being different throughout his whole childhood, and the challenges he faced for acceptance, even within StarFleet.

To dismiss his personal struggles while assuming that he’s fulfilled and would OPT to not have regular eyes is incredibly arrogant and ablest, no? It is also deeply lacking in awareness and consideration of psychology, which is pretty bang-on for Boomers of the era that STTNG came out. “Oh, well looking at the END RESULT, he turned out fine, despite his massive trauma.”

The likelihood is that he did not turn out fine, we just don’t see the granular details of his psyche, on screen.

If you can’t go anywhere, another option is jumping rope. 10 minutes of jumping rope is about equivalent to jogging for 30 min.

I personally prefer a slightly weighted (.8lb) rope with the mass concentrated in the rope portion rather than the handles.

Dunning-Kruger needs to be duct taped to some people’s foreheads

That’s how a “free market” is actually supposed to work.

We DO NOT have a free market, nor do we have the regulations required to keep the economy on a sustainable growth track. Which is why we reliably implode. We took the worst of both economic systems and gave a few oligarchs that control conglomerate corporations free reign to enrich themselves through crisis capitalism.

“But it has rained, hasn’t it?” Smug look

An example of why arguing with idiots is impossible to win.

The key phrase here is “low effort.” These movies generally take a semi-decent premise and then run it into the ground faster than a nepobaby’s inherited business. That’s why they all end up as schlock and give the genre a bad name.

Seamen sail the seas. Semen is in ejaculate. It’s an important distinction.

Same reason they apply the “looter” label to people surviving after a hurricane destroys an entire city.

Okay, so just add dildos?

Ah, my mistake. Thanks

Most management systems focus on short term horizons because arbitrary calendar sections allow them to pretend the past work is no longer a factor in the current work.

Not just members, advocates of the line. Their compensation is a function of the surplus value workers create.

Accelerationism coming from exactly the social class we expected

Hey hey. This guy would absolutely crush most potatoes in a head-to-head contest.

100%, which is why they never argue in good faith.

Even a broken clock.

People have “forgotten” (ie never taught) that the first step in critically examining the actions of others is to understand their motivation and how it benefits them.
