The internet, as experienced by most humans today, primarily consists of ads, sponsored content, propaganda and spin. I don't really see how it's contributing to our development in a constructive manner.

Oh, fuck. He's optimistic

Serious question: what actually is the value of hard work?

The country.

That someone has a job working for the railway? In the UK? And that they're measuring distance in kilometres? Now, that would be interesting.

NO, it's the social media that is to blame.

Am I suffering some kind of confirmation bias, or does Spock spend an unusually large amount of time expressing emotions, for someone who's supposed to never express emotions?

EDIT: By way of addressing some of the replies to this post, without replying to them all individually, I just wanted to add this:
I'm not critiquing the handling of Spock's character in relation to TOS or movies, Peck's a great actor and is doing a fine job at interpreting this role.
The point I'm trying to make is that Spock (and data, T'pol, Tuvok, etc. after him) gets juxtaposed so often, it seems more entertainment-oriented than story-oriented. Like, "wouldn't it be cool if they had to...". The classic sitcom trope of putting the awkward person in a public-facing position, with hilarious consequences. It just seems like these hilarious consequences are occurring too often to call it character development.

Is that not why he's on such a mission to increase birth rates?

I'd go as far as to say that it's not a trend, it's a prerequisite.

Seriously, thanks so much for posting that. Every now and again it's reassuring to hear someone put into words exactly what I fail to articulate. And so well articulated, too.

The fact that this was written before the enshittening of reddit really adds weight to the arguments within. I sigh and chef-kiss at the same time, if you can visualise that.
