Trio?

I only remember there being one ship's councillor.

I caught it before I submitted the post but I figured you guys would better appreciate the low effort correction. 😆

It's a poor poster who blames his tools so this was definitely autocorrect's fault.

All three councillors on the ship

When they made it a major part of nemesis I was so annoyed.

What a depressing movie. I didn't like any of the TNG movies but that one's the worst.

Anytime something like that is on the screen, I assume that Rick Berman was directly involved.

I like first contact. The others were snore, but Nemesis was the worst.

The "rent is too damn high" guys is a vile antisemite, not that anyone gives a shit

I'd use Hitler for a meme if it was funny, using an image of a person doesn't mean you agree or even are aware of who that person is or what their beliefs are

Sometimes you just gotta let go of all that useless hate and enjoy things at face value

Do you mean he throws Jews down a well or do you mean he criticized Israel?

I Googled, and found an article that said this:

in 2005 McMillan had a specific idea of who was to blame for the rent being, well, too damn high:

There are over (25) Twenty Five Thousand Newly Rented Apartments, Available, Now Renting in the Williamsberg Section of Brooklyn, NY. as is all throughout the (5) Five Boro’s. But… they are only being Rented to the Jewish People.

Which certainly seems antisemitic. I tracked down that claim to a Gawker article from October 2005 which said the above quote came from his website. It was hard to track down because all the news orgs link to his website's homepage which substantially changed multiple times since then and eventually stopped existing entirely, and it wasn't very easily navigable at the time. But here's the page being cited. It's…pretty fucking wild.

Here's his rather weak apology from 2010.

Oh dear. Thanks for the research. Also thanks to @downpunxx@fedia.io for raising the issue. I wasn't aware of this.

I stopped enjoying the "change my mind" meme when I realized what a piece of shit Crowder is. I'll put this one in the same bucket.

And the meme is making fun of a dumb thing he said, so who cares?

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

What he said wasn't dumb. Rent is too damn high. The reason he thought rent was too high was dumb and antisemitic.

Found the landlord

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 6 points 3 months ago

You're right. on both counts.
