Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

Canada@lemmy.ca•Carney to 'take into account' advice on Senate appointments from Trudeau-era committeeEnglish
4·6 days agoI’m probably projecting, but I hope people realize that Trudeau did at much as he could without reopening the Constitution, which is a non-starter.

3·6 days agoI have a feeling it’s neither enough for the reformists, nor enough for the abolitionists, so it’s just kind of ignored.

Star Trek IV is a bit of a left-field choice, but I’m not mad about it.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Ontario couple found guilty of boy’s murder, brother’s tortureEnglish
9·8 days agoThe judge’s statements are appropriately scathing.
Justice Conlan said he commends the work of the defence and the Crown in this case.
He said it is not the defence’s fault “the evidence of their clients has been found to be worthless.”
All in all, he said, the Crown proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt on every count.
He said electronic evidence “points overwhelmingly to the guilt of the accused.”
He wrote they “paint a picture of loathe and hate by both accused towards the boys, especially towards L.”
The judge said a Dec. 28, 2020, audio recording played in court of the women berating L.L. was “so difficult to listen to,” and “is just a terrible and shocking exhibit of abuse of L. by these accused.”
He said a Sept. 24, 2021, video the court viewed of L.L. using a small portable toilet to relieve himself was “excruciating to watch.”
“This court could go on and on, but for what purpose other than to, in a way, continue to victimize L. He should be remembered for more than this.”

That’s pretty much where I’m at. Is it something I think I desperately need? Not by a long shot.
Could they do something interesting with it? Sure, I guess.

STO Alliance@startrek.website•Create new account or use an old one?English
3·10 days agoThere is a current “Return to Duty” promotion that’s available to all players - a free “Jem’hadar Vanguard” character, which is normally a premium, upgraded version of a basic Jem’Hadar character. I keep forgetting to claim it for myself.
There’s also a starter pack on sale in the in-game store. It’s got some nice stuff in it, but I think you’d be fine without it if you don’t want to spend the money.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Just the market regulating itselfEnglish
81·13 days agoI mean, it’s still 10 cents per litre less than it would have been had the tax not been lifted…unless the implication is that the price wouldn’t have gone up without the tax reduction (which is pretty obviously not true).
I don’t like the tax being lifted - I think it’s largely populist nonsense - but it’s at least a little dishonest to say there’s no difference at all.













It is a little odd that they locked it to Tactical - not sure why they did that.
I assume you’ll be able to edit the appearance once you’ve aligned with either the Federation or the Klingons, but I haven’t really tested that out, so maybe I’m wrong?
If you’re looking for a bright side, you could use one of them to play around with unconventional combinations, like a Tactical officer with a science vessel or whatever.
Also: you’ve probably noticed by now that the Jem’Hadar faction drops you straight into the endgame (or at least the endgame at it was in 2018), so you may be better off playing your older character for the time being anyway.
