    So I've been reading Marcus Aurelias journals and what not,
    and humans haven't changed in 2000 years, I don't think we
    are going to now and they are just the entrenched interests
    to stop us. We would need a world altering event, and I'm
    not even sure that would do it.

    Ah.. Stoicism == common sense in many ways.

    Epictetus was one tough sob. His master broke had broken his leg, and he replied along the lines of 'is that all you got?'.

    ... Taglines... one line freedom of speech!

    I though the covid lockdowns were an "world altering event".

    To which Atari8Guy replies...

    You might be right about COVID, but all it did was alter everything for
    the worse...maybe there is no way out!!! Maybe if England wins the World
    Cup that will do it.

    So after watching this week's episode and the Ready Room episode as well, I found out that the 2nd season of LOWER DECKS were all recorded from the actors' homes due to COVID.

    If you all haven't seen this week's crossover SNW+LDs, I found it to be very humorous to say the least. SPOCk and PIKEs facial expressions are over the top for me. Having the two voice actors become part of the "crew" and wear actual uniforms for the show was great. And, yes, they do look like their cartoon/animated counterparts as well.
