I think it does a good job of showing the reality of how clunky integration of different groups can be, and how even in a future where humans have “solved” racism amongst themselves, it’s not a lesson that can be buried with the past yet.

The frustrations that the crew has with Spock’s behaviors that are baffling to them, and vis versa, how Spock feels (and frequently verbalizes) about what he thinks are human failings, are very real reflections of how different groups learn to understand each other better. The friction of their interactions is the point, as well as showing that they are incredibly loyal to each other and care about each other’s wellbeing at the end of the day.

This is the heart of Star Trek, in my opinion - seeing them actively grow together despite their occasional rude outbursts and misunderstandings.

I had to look up the exact exchange, because this line always makes me laugh too. Her tone, lol

KORBY: You think I could love a machine?

Start where it all began! The original is a fun watch.

I think that’s just the proper emotion after ingesting content on twitter.

It’s unironically my favorite tea. It has such a strong flavor.

I haven’t played either and I love difficult games to the point that friends think I’m a masochist. (I’m not, just patient)

I’ll have to give them a shot.

I need to play this.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t!

Although it would be so old to them that it would be like us making a swordfighting game about Macbeth or something.

It’s nice to know that our memes live on into the 2300s.

Haha, someone forwarded it to me and I thought it was hilarious! I’ve been taking a short mental health break from Lemmy (was feeling disillusioned by some stuff I was seeing), but will be back to my normal posting soon.

I am fully into Linux now though. No more Windows installs in my house.

(Oh! I thought I responded to your post yesterday, but it was the crosspost to Linuxmemes, so it wouldn’t have gone to your inbox.)

There are a lot of fakes claiming to be from that screen test, unfortunately.

But we do see him in a wig in “I, Claudius” from the 70s.

Is it an actual photoshop then? This isn’t mine, and I assumed whoever did the original edit used some sort of faceswap or AI app to do it because it looked so smooth.

That is correct.

I honestly have no idea where this originated, but it looks like it’s been everywhere, has t-shirts and posters, etc.

It’s tragic that he never got to play a scientist who could smell crime.

That poor intern

Yeah, someone gave it to me as a gift once. Might have been from thinkgeek back in the day? I can’t remember.
