  • I somewhat disagree with the ingenious GUI in Star Trek. After decades, I still look at these Star Trek Interfaces and do not understand how they work, what the information hirachy is or what a buttons is or what is just passive Elements. I give him the benefit of science-fiction and my weak 20th century brain is not ready to understand 2290s graphical user interfaces but for me it is just artwork and I bet GUI in Starfleets in the future will not look like that at all. I love the GUI asthetics of more modern sci-fi movies where I can actually understand why there is a CTA, why there is a diagramm on how to navigate it. But the gap between what Okuda did and what we see on phones, tablets and the general web today are worlds apart. He did a somewhat great artwork, but was not able to give a realistic outlook on how human-machine interaction in the future will look like. It also aged poorly and still feels like the orange-chic of the 70s and did not made the asthetic upgrade that the ship design and costume design did in the series. That man might be a legend, but his understanding of GUI is somewhat weak in comparison with other sci-fi artist. And I take the foaming downvotes for that but it has to be said at least once on the internet.

  • Up until 2019, fentanyl could be bought by just typing it into chinese onlineshops. Since then, China is not diverting the course of being the worlds 1# fentanyl producer and the #1 outlet market is still the USA. But China can not send it straight to the US anymore but is bringing it to mexico and using the already active routes to swamp the US with that deadly drug. The China-Iran-Russia connection would do anything to weaken the west. This is just one of their operations. The british addicting hundred of thousands chinese with opium 200 years ago in the 1830s is still a very big ignominy in chinas victim narrative (Century of Humiliation). Applying this scheme back to “the west” is their tit-for-tat response to pay back. Chinese ambassadors and cultural attaché mention it all the time in interviews in the last 20 years.





  • It is all dependent on the military. Like in 2015 the ghouls from the military decided to get behind the dictator and positioned themself against the people. They know they all have corpses to hide. They know if there will ever be a legitimate justice system, these butchers will be held accountable. They are afraid that they will have to answer these crimes under a legitimate system and collude with the dictator that has equal amounts of blood on his hands. Maduro is a murderer and a vassal of the Chinese-Russia-Iran connection. His game is supression, corruption and power.
