Capitalist media only cares about sexy tragedies and expensive dangers. Focusing on 500 poors gasping their last breaths far from view only serves to remind viewers of how unfair things are on a basic level - and that threatens power.
The thing is, I've never seen such an overwhelmingly bored response from the general public to a Sexy Tragedy like this before. The only person in my life who expressed any iota of distress over the Titan is my dear mother, but she cried when we dropped off our old TV at Goodwill, so.
People are, I think, getting a little bit harder to trick with the song-and-dance of the hyper-rich dying in outstanding ways.
“When the rich are too rich there are ways, and when the poor are too poor there are ways... This is one of the ways when the poor are too poor. When the rich are too rich there is a way, and if I am not mistaken, that way will come soon.” - Pearl S. Buck
I would imagine that there is a pretty wide gulf between simply being critical of Discovery vs. engaging in bannable behavior.
I have been openly and severely critical of Discovery for years on the subreddit and was never banned, so it might be worth examining the nature of your critique.
Good-faith arguments and critiques are always welcome.
Why YSK: If you ever need any of these things (eg you fell into hardship), just look for the nearest Sikh temple. While you’re there, please respect their culture and cover your hair while you’re in the prayer hall or in “langar” hall. A langar hall is where the food is served. If you like you can also volunteer to help...
This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few...
This is something that keeps me worried at night. Unlike other historical artefacts like pottery, vellum writing, or stone tablets, information on the Internet can just blink into nonexistence when the server hosting it goes offline. This makes it difficult for future anthropologists who want to study our history and document...
Remember a few years ago when MySpace did a faceplant during a server migration, and lost literally every single piece of music that had ever been uploaded? It was one of the single-largest losses of Internet history and it's just... not talked about at all anymore.
+1 for Carbon Creek. I guess it's technically not exactly a time-travel episode, but it scratches that itch better than most.
My far-and-away favorite though is Paste Tense from DS9. The conversation between Bashir and Sisko in the tent city hits me like a hammer on the heart every time.

Least-favorite would have to be the lion's share of Picard s2, but specifically the episode where the gang tries to pull an Ocean's 11 at that gala event and Picard gets run over by a car.
Far Beyond the Stars is probably DS9's best episode IMO - but it's funny, I never considered it a time-travel ep before. I guess it fits that bill too.
