Comment Am I the only one who really likes this show? (Score 1) 278

I get why everyone hates on it but I tune them out these are the same people still mad at George Lucas and Ronald D Moore.

I like Michael, I like the crew, I like their interactions, the scenery is fan-fucking tastic. Honestly in a 10 years before enterprise world where the movie storylines never happened, to me this is ideal Star Trek with a huge budget.

Of course everyone complains. I am not, and will watch every episode thrice as I have every other Trek before it.

Comment Protect Yo Neck. (Score 1) 203

Just connecting on the Internet these days is risky, but adding the extra maturity required to use a VPN it is best to protect oneself. It's okay to be curious about and explore VPNs at such a young age, (it's only natural to be curious about one's privacy) but as 'it' can have life long consequences, I recommend that all uncommitted customers purchase their VPNs with Walmart Gift Cards. Once you decide to settle down with a VPN for a while and really start leeching, maybe it's time you gave them your credit card number and start surfing for nasty stuff with a much lower risk factor.

>world population dropping to a few thousand individuals, intelligence equivalent to our own did not give them a huge survival advantage at that time.

This seems like a reach. If there was such an extinction event, high intelligence and social cooperation are an adaptation to environmental pressure. It drastically improves the odds of not only surviving but rebounding to support a large social group quickly, leading to the very apparent intelligence arms race you point out during successful times.

I don't disagree that success in this case perhaps is a stronger pressure to adapt but only in a large society. Until then the pressure to survive and grow socially faster than others is a major evolutionary advantage.
