Oh No It's Not!

I just put a comment in the like section by mistake. Please go read it. I will say that I totally agree with your comments. Wanted to say that new trek is wonderful, and don't understand the lukewarm reception that Chris Pine gets. He was born to play James T. Kirk. These so-called Trekkies seem to forget the message of Spock's IDIC. And also how tacky [I know I sound like a broken record] the original Trek could be, and how Shatner's over acted, and how bad the first season of Next Generation was. I have been a Trekkie since seeing the first episode of original Trek. There had been nothing like this on TV- a science fiction program that explored not only space, but the moral issues facing our times. I know this dates me, but I've seen everything in the Trek universe through both new movies and can't wait for Beyond.

Ahhh, that post with the gifs is so gorgeous! \*-*/ You're wonderful (also I was reading your tags and am filled with love for them. XD I'm so tired of all the unfair hate new Trek gets too. So many people pretending they're morally superior by irrationally hating on it while ignoring all the plot holes in the past. I adore classic Trek, I'm a lifetime fan, but I can't stand this BS fake elitism from the people who hate any new Trek regardless of quality etc. It's depressing. So yay for love!)

Thank you for saying this, love! <333

Yes. All these years AOS gets so much hate to a point I think people just bash it out of habits. For what purposes? They made it very clear that AOS sets in a different timeline and also in today’s market. While I appreciate the beauty of TOS, they were cast for small screens. You wouldn’t expect to see big explosions all the time in there. And as the days go on, TOS films did get bigger and more action-y. That’s just how movies work. It’s just not fair to compare AOS and TOS. Can’t we love them both at the same time? 

I think AOS is doing a good job of attracting new fans in the Star Trek franchise. And let’s be honest, they are quite decent films. I love watching them and I am so hype for the new movie. All three trailers by far are fantastic. I just don’t understand people hating them because they use rock music (come on that’s a reference to the first movie) or Jim riding a motorcycle is too Fast and Furious (like, what? He rode motorcycle in the first one and what do you expect him to do?) or Enterprise is blown up again (I mean… they are in space and if explosions happen, you can’t expect the space ship can dodge the bullet, right?)

The condescending hate is not the moral of Star Trek .

Actually, the original script is much better!

Congratulations to you. Just remember to take it one step at a time, one day at a time.

So yesterday was six months since I got admitted to hospital and six months since I truly committed to recovery. It’s been six months of ups and downs. Anorexia shattered my life apart and I’ve spent the past six months putting everything back together again. Today I had lunch at my grandma’s and asked for ice cream with my raspberries, this year I will eat my birthday cake, I will go out for meals for my friends birthdays, I will do the things that I was too scared to do when I thought I wasn’t good enough AND I will fight this disorder.

This scene! #startrekpicard #seven #jeriryan

STAR TREK: PICARD S03E06 | The Bounty

Me too! Is there any choice? Here is a woman that has worked her whole life trying to better unfair and unjust situations, only to be constantly labeled untrustworthy...and much worse. I know some people are afraid to vote for a woman, but here is a moment when we can all do the right thing and make history. The alternative is totally unacceptable.

VOTE. VOTE. VOTE! ....and not 3rd Party!

“but what are Hillary’s POLICIES?”

So I got tired of not seeing any news on HRC’s actual positions because every single media outlet is busy fact-checking Trump’s latest Twitter tantrum, and decided to look some up.

Also, tired of stories about 26-year-olds complaining that they can’t get behind Clinton because they don’t know what she stands for, and also have no idea who Ralph Nader is, even though these frickin’ kids are only two years younger than me and also Wikipedia exists

But anyway. Hillary Clinton! Actual positions!

Guys, there’s so much to love.

We already knew she wants harder regulation on the megabanks, right?

Not as hardcore as Bernie wants, but in the same direction?

Turns out she bundles that with a bunch of provisions to support and protect credit unions!

Seriously, I love my credit union. And they’re tiny and responsible and don’t secretly open millions of accounts in the names of unaware users.

Universal quality pre-K for every kid!

Paid medical leave and new-parent leave. Not just for new moms, either. Regardless of gender.

Funding childcare centers on college campuses for student parents!

omg you guys, her plans for addressing autism. Note the total absence of the word “curing.” It’s all about “providing support” and “early diagnosis” and “improving access” and “increasing opportunities.”

She’s full of specific plans for Alzheimer’s research and treatment

Including supporting stem-cell research

You know how otherwise work-ready people sometimes get stuck as unpaid caregivers when a family member becomes sick or disabled? Well, Hillary wants to give those people credit where credit is due.

By which I mean, tax credit

And Social Security benefits

and you know the horrific unnecessary price hikes we’ve seen on EpiPens and various livesaving drugs? Think that oughta be a crime? So does HRC.

Plus she supports emergency imports of similar treatments from other countries (the ones with quality safety standards, obv) if that’s what it takes to save lives

Hillary stands with Planned Parenthood

Supports more funding for VA mental health treatments

And better training for police on how to de-escalate when they’re called in on a crisis situation

Seriously, she’s coming at mental health from all sides, it’s fantastic

Her rhetoric about the police also hits better training to deal with implicit bias

Comprehensive background checks for gun buying!

Close the Charleston loophole

End the special legal protections that gun manufacturers get when the rest of the manufacturing industry doesn’t

eyyyy, btw, guess where Sanders fell on that issue?

that’s right: this time Clinton was the one dragging Bernie to the left

Solar panels!

I mean, clean energy in general, but “solar panels” is the shiniest part

Automatic voter registration

AUTOMATIC VOTER REGISTRATION

No more harried every-four-year drives pleading for everyone to register, even if it’s inconvenient, even if there are serious barriers in your way

No more “welcome to the polling center, whoops, looks like you were registered but it got thrown out on a technicality and nobody told you”

Automatic voter registration!!

Raise the minimum wage to $12/hr

Still not the $16/hr we’d have if it had kept up with inflation since the ‘70s, but a big improvement

I’m not even in a minimum-wage job and this would still give me a raise of at least $320/month

and obviously the tipped minimum wage is a national shame, well guess what, HRC wants to do away with that

Fewer loopholes and more taxes for the super-rich, including the Buffett Rule and a millionaire tax

Hella infrastructure investment plans: covering our roads, bridges, airports, dams, public transit, and Internet access

She’s planning to upgrade our 25 most costly freight bottlenecks

Did you know our country had a cost issue with freight bottlenecks?

Because I had no idea

and this happens over and over with her policies

things you didn’t even know were things

but Hermione Rodham Clinton has already looked up the statistics, talked to the experts, and written the ten-page memo

and listen, voting for HRC for no other reason than to keep Trump and his tax-evading business-bankrupting employee-stiffing racist sexist across-the-board-hateful loose-cannon general inanity out of office is completely legitimate –

but if I never see another “why don’t we know more about her plans?? it is a hopeless unsolvable mystery for the ages!” post again it will be too soon.

No!

pirk?

Mine, too! Chris Pine as James T. Kirk = perfection!
