They talked about five years ago not about the reelection campaign

Definitely, but I'm still not happy with how progressiveness is handled in Discovery, which comes back to the bad writing. I mean, I like that they have a non-binary character. But that they made a semi-big deal out of it makes no sense in-universe imo. Usually, Star Trek would just have a character that's non-binary and everyone would just go with it, showing how in an ideal world coming-out is either not necessary or not more than a simple correction.

It's also a common white name, isn't it?

I think it was more "how about we create some actually likable, interesting, and multidimensional characters making actually sensible decisions?" I think SNW is better here than even all the old shows. I have the feeling that stuff like Worf being such an inexplicably bad dad or Sisco completely out of character committing genocide in one episode would not happen in SNW.

Enjoying the graphics, except for their stupid turbolift animation that makes no fucking sense

Discovery is just shitty writing and bad characters, the wokeness is the least of its problems

A field that definitely has a problem with replication is Computer Human Interaction. There are a lot of user studies in that field and you basically never see a study done twice. The setup of the studies usually doesn't even allow it to be repeated as it hinges on some proprietary software written for that very study that is not released to the public.

I see the same issues also in computer science especially when looking into recent trends such as AI or blockchain/NFTs before that. There are definitely areas that are more rigorous than others but the replication crisis is a problem in many many scientific fields. If your results are not completely outlandish and don't go against the vibe, no one will ever bother to check your results.

Actually, our solar power plants are way more efficient than photosynthesis. We just need a lot more power than nature

If you're at home and then go to the game, how anonymized is your movement data really?
