Cars shouldn’t require cell phone towers to function. It’s a CAR.

No Back To The Future? Baww

It’s good they were wrong and the covid dictatorial bullshit fell out of vogue, though.

Honestly, the one thing people should be disputing about post-apocalypse games is why it is people would even be scraping by to survive in the first place. We’re social animals and would band together out of necessity, and knowledge and high technology wouldn’t simply go away simply because half the population turned into zombies and started eating everybody else.

Just hike to the nearest town or something. Read a book. Build a cistern and some aqueducts or something. People have literally been doing just that for thousands of years so why would it be hard for people to do it in modern times?

It’s amazing how people are stupid enough to think that tolerance applies to people doing something wrong. 🤦

You might as well argue people have to tolerate rapists and pedophiles, too.

Oh stop. The government should be running the pharaceutical industry then, not private companies.

Stop simping for evil corporations that don’t give a shit about you.

∆∆ Yeah, I figured they would react like that even with positive acknowledgement of anything logical they had to say, because surprise-surprise, they weren’t actually speaking in good faith, they were just angry someone pointed out plot holes in some dumb TV show that their own friend even acknowledged is just fiction and doesn’t matter.

You all are highly highly oversensitive and you need to grow up. If it’s just fiction don’t throw temper tantrums when people point out plot holes because you can’t tolerate any sort of criticism toward a TV show of all things.

See, that’s a logical and reasonable explanation and LastYearsPumpkin@feddit.ch ought to take lessons from you.

Nah, it is not “fucking stupid”

Ehh. I’m still not quite sold on that point, but I accept your explanations for the others.

That’s just a weak-ass cop-out and you and I know it.

Why even have plots if they have magic machines that can make any problem go away with arbitrary explanations of how they work that are neither consistent or logical within the rules of its universe?

It’s stupid. And I can bet you’re just going to respond “Well, I like it anyway so I don’t care” in which case why even bother responding?

How the fuck is that even possible even by technobabble standards?

How would they differentiate a weapon from life-saving medical equipment, and why wouldn’t some evil villain capitalize on that fact?

Or just make the crew beam down on some planet for some meeting and nuke the meeting place?

Or just pack a ship full of antimatter and ram it into the Enterprise?

The whole way war is done in Star Trek is so fucking stupid 🤦

🤔 So like, what would stop some diplomat from just bringing a suitcase nuke with them when getting beamed on board, and setting it off?

You’re right, I haven’t. What dumb bullshit were they saying?

Then start convincing people to use it.

The only one who is going to be hurt by you constantly making excuses is you. No matter what hurdles you face, you have to overcome them, even if you have to build your own separate network from scratch, or you’ll never be free from the yoke of corporations and more importantly for you, you’ll never be free of the blame.

Then start building community ISPs that allow for individuals to have their own IPs again.

If you want to solve the problem, you have work to do.

Or you can sit around and complain like you’re trying to justify and defend doing, and live without access to ad free quality videos. Your choice.

Then purchase a hosting service. Off-shore VPSes are pretty cheap, and they take Bitcoin. Even fucking Paypal uses Bitcoin nowadays. Only hurdle in your way is you.

There’s rule of law in the U.S.? 🤔

Anytime you all want to go back to making your own websites

Anytime

If the browser itself could check those fragments though… 🤔
