The vast majority of nerds dont care about diversity if the show is good and the characters are likable.
Im sure there's some people who wouldn't like that Sam is a captain doctor girl boss today and view it as a sign the show was going to be polotical dreck. I know that because some people thought that and didn't initially like Sam...when the show first aired in 1997. To this day, I typically skip S1E4 "Emancipation" because it's not a very good episode and it has a forced political narrative. They didn't do more episodes like Emancipation after S1.
In the 1990s, showrunners actually cared about audience reactions and audiences didn't like "just because my sex organs are on the inside instead of the outside doesn't mean I can't handle whatever you can handle" from jump. To this day and from the day it aired, Sams introduction is an off-putting one, and Emancipation 3 episodes later doesn't help.
But the showrunners actually gave a damn, stopped telling us Sam was a girl boss, and let her just be a real character.
I love Sam, and I seriously considered joining USAF ROTC in college because of her. That's what a good scifi show like SG1 and Star Trek used to be : aspirational. Now its all a race to the bottom.
New Substack article on the Wisdom (Or Madness) of Crowds. The idea that the collective is smarter than the smartest individual within it is a popular but incorrect one. The evidence from 100 years of research, inspired by a dead ox, is far more complex ⬇️
New vid discusses the historical scientific data explaining the "MAGA civil war" and predicts the likely future (if election cycles are consistent) of what will happen in the U.S. midterms and 2028 elections. I hope it is sobering, not blackpilled https://t.co/VnUUcR0Fsw

Scammers posing as a real sponsor, spoofed their site, broke into my Google account, changed everything and reset my phone to factory, so I've lost pretty much everything. I've got some people looking at it, but I'm not hopeful that I will be able to get Aydin Paladin back...
If you tilt a glass, does the water inside tilt with it? 80 years of research has found, consistently, that women are about twice as likely to get this question wrong than are men. Check out my new article about sex differences in spatial cognition on Substack, link below! ⬇️
@chrispavlovski I've shifted my main podcast over to multi-streaming and I'll be moving more content to Rumble. If "You"Tube wants to be Netflix for brands and mainstream celebrities rather than regular people, fine.
Got pork steaks for cheap, so I chose violence and made jagerschnitzel, rotkohl, kasespaetzle, kroketten, pretzels with honey mustard, and apple strudel.
Hey @TeamYouTube@YouTube@YouTubeCreators -I have been awaiting appeal on my channel that was wrongfully terminated as I was posting no content on it. A clip channel by @kinocasinoclips was also wrongfully terminated. It’s been weeks now and I would love this to be resolved. 🙏
There's no way he doesn't know that their AI moderation has been removing thousands of the creators, supposedly their core concern, from the YTPP - they just bragged about how much more money they made this month. The audacity is unreal.
Youtube demonetizing AI voice may cause ADA lawsuits.
Its a reasonable accommodation for disabled people that Youtube announced as OK, only to now see many hit for it.
Youtube, you should look into this because many want you to do well and this is a bad bad move.
