Most are eating the cost. .01-.04 = 00c

re: Parent advice with kid about to start driving- insurance etc

1 and 2 are bad advice. Get a family plan. Add him to it. When"sued" for wrecks your insurance is sued not you personally unless it's malicous. If you have newer cars he won't drive you can exclude him. But expect a rise of 3-400 a month for him. Just what it is.

Saying where People are working isn't Doxing. Now of they named each officer. That would be doxing. Doxing usually involes publishing addresses or phone numbers.

Totally agree. Its an overload. I get its way in the future but it's a lot. I really want a show in the Enterprise Timeline. Id rather see the actual first class of Starfleet rather than whatever this is. Maybe a show about the founding of the Federation. Start off with United Earth and maybe bring Bakula and Jolene Blalock back.

A lot of shows give the first episode free.

They were all male. It says they didn't procreate naturally not that they couldn't. Also maybe things changed in 1000 years.

I'm not sold on the chancelor. I just don't get her motivation. And she's 420? I guess Tig is older but she went through that time warp or whatever i didn't watch Discovery.
I see saying Tigs speech wasnt DEI didn't go over well here but I stand by that. She simply was telling Mir to get to know his classmates.

I really do not like the hologram student. I like the doctor being back. But he had a purpose. Why create a hologram just to go to school?
The "klingon with emotion" hasnt been too bad other than he watches birds. Obviously Mir is the main character and he's not bad but gets annoying at times.
I didn't see anything that makes me want to just turn it off and i don't have many shows to watch right now besides Fallout and Landman so I'll stick with it.
I still prefer the style of SNW. There are some dumb things. I didn't really see much lesbian stuff other than two dyky crew members. The heavy set liason got a lot of attention from angry YouTubers but she had maybe 1 minute of screen time. Also i can totally see a Jem Hadar boning a Klingon. So that character doesn't bother me as much as it bothers others.
I do admit the first 10 minutes of episode 1 were dumb. The whole ship out of control and prison guards beating a prisoner were dumb.

I don't like the concept of three burn either.
I didn't like Discovery. But this show isn't as bad as I was anticipating. The second episode was a theme that other treks have done.
The no spoilers to page two is a dumb rule btw.

Where was the DEI training? She just asked what was her name an be told the cadets to get to know each other.

Disney is redoing half of Galaxy's Edge. More like 3/4 and retheming it to the original trilogy.
The start of abadoning the sequels.

Ok Watched first episode. Better than i expected it to be. Some eye rolling moments. But the female Jem Hadar was explained. I liked the captain. Most of the kids were pretty good. The emotional Klingon wasnt over done. I would have rathered the show set around Next Generation time. But the 31st century was cool. Trying to wait to second page to discuss actual plot.

To me it's still worth it. It and Youtube premium are my favorite subscriptions. Netflix and zhBO are the ones i think about dropping. Already dropped peacock and hulu.
