Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

In honor of the late William Anders, here's a really great video on the "Earthrise" photo and how improbable it is that we have it at all (www.youtube.com)

That could be someone's creative output. Hell, that could be the paycheck someone's eating off of-- and you and others like you out here "can it be condensed? I rly don't wanna hear it". If it's not death of attention span, then it's atomized, anti-social fuckshit; so either way this ain't the defense strat you think it is

Ok? We're not obligated to watch stuff just because it's someone's creative output. We don't owe this person a paycheck through YouTube ads. Everyone's got the right to have the necessities of life but that's got nothing to do with this. Different people have different interests, and someone who's really into this subject or this creator might want to watch the whole thing, but not everyone has to.

Nobody is obligating anyone to watch this video.

It's the principle of the thing. You clearly have the free-time, otherwise you wouldn't be here. You clearly have the interest, otherwise you wouldn't be in this thread. And yet, you demand an abridging of someone's creative output to suit your entitlement. Tfu.

If you only have the time to demand abridgings of people's work, maybe you shouldn't be on this site. I'm sure twitter or reddit would be more your speed.
