That would be in every thread, from the most pro-communism to the most anti-communism threads.

The Federation doesn't have capitalism either (well, again this depends on the writer, but Picard was quite clear about it in one episode).

It's all Starfleet's fault, the Federation has expanded too much and has encircled Borg space for decades. Plus the Borg are good for making a multipolar galaxy, we should support them.

A Windows version becomes considered "good" the exact moment a next version is released. No sooner, no later. Those are the rules.

Neverball seems far less known than the other ones, but it's really good and has tons of levels.

Are there good UIs/tilesets for Nethack these days?

Definitely Neverball. My kids and I spent so many hours in it.

OpenTTD is good, so is TuxKart, but both have better closed-source alternatives. I don't think Neverball does.

As a trans person, would you rather go to a beach where nobody is armed, or to a beach where everybody might be armed?

That is in the books too. It's called a "Seldon crisis", where the Foundation has only one possible way forward as means of keeping it close to the original plan.

It's a trade-off, so it depends on both how good the pay is and how opposed the company is.

I'm currently working for a crypto company, and have worked for other similar ones in the past, and these all tend to be libertarian types which I don't agree with, but they pay well.

On the other hand, a previous employer tried to get Saudi Aramco as a client, and I made it clear that I would not support this. Fortunately those talks didn't come anywhere.

So yes, there's certainly a line.

It's not about the book, it's not even about sexuality. Yes these are the justifications they use, but at the core it's all about finding someone they can hurt, and they found you. The cruelty is the point.

Yards are too similar to meters, us commie Europeans would actually know how much that is. Can't have that.
