Is it better to starve for scraps in a dead world of dwindling resources or to strive to find a new one?

Realistically irl, it’s way easier to teraform a mostly fine planet with a working magneto sphere and liquid water as opposed to going to another planet where you’d have to do all that yourself, but sci-fi likes to pretend there are thousands of lush green worlds out in the endless black waiting to be colonized.

The larger issue would be the lack of easily available fuel to rebuild earth with, an issue only made infinitely harder by being light-years away from home and starting on a new dead rock instead of a mostly dead one.

Democrats are a right wing party. Republicans are a far right party. Neither are left of center.

They wore the guise of one for longer than many live. In that time he would have been treated and lived as one with mortals who wouldn’t know enough to think otherwise. If this is how he choose to live I see no reason to question it.

I am not defending this practice at all, but I do think that they have sending written on them in black that the camera and compression have hidden. You don’t want to give the plebs a black and white reason to revolt.

Edit: zoomed in on the hi res version, they are holiday off.

1. What movies would you recommend that have come out since Dune as that is the last movie I have been able to care about at all? This isn’t meant to be read as sarcastic, I’m being completely sincere I would like recommendations.

2. I’m not going to lie I just don’t trust non-indie series any more. I can’t trust them to not be arbitrarily cancelled part way through, or to be ruined after one or two seasons. There are too many burnt bridges and broken promises.

Counterpoint there has been a measurable decrease in quality of most forms of media as more and more stuff are soulless cash grabs. It used to be that games shipped completed, now they ship broken cost more and expect you to pump even more money into them on top of that. The last move I saw that I cared about was Dune. Many of the restaurants near me have reduced their quality of ingredients and staff, now when going to the nearby sandwich shop my order is wrong more often than it is correct.

What do we do when the world is measurably becoming worse?

It is done.

I have done so for you

I’m going to go on a different angle on this one and say that we are much tougher on sexual harassment. I feel like a lot of people from the 1950s who have grown up on pulp sci-fi like Flash Gordon could accept a lot of modern technology and the internet as basically just magic. To be fair is how a lot of modern people also accept it. But I don’t think they would be able to process the move towards egalitarianism that we have taken.

That is not to say that modern society is egalitarian only that we have made good strides in achieving that aim.

Edit: Turns out Gordon is from the '70s, but other pulp sci-fi exist so my statement stands.
