I thought the idea was that Republicans are actively working on destroying what has been working fine and is benefitting lots of people, not just on preventing more progress.

I’d say if we were to abolish libraries, we should abolish copyright as well, because they serve the same purpose. Copyright is an artificial barrier, a social contract to promote sharing ideas and creative works. There’s nothing inherent about copyright, it doesn’t exist if we don’t want it to. So why should we want it to?

Still seems way overpriced. Doesn’t even have name recognition anymore.

Sikkert moro for dem, men virker rart at det skal kalles “noe av det største som har skjedd i ekspedisjonsverden på mange år”. Gjøre det samme som mange andre har gjort, bare litt raskere.

One thing Earth has going for it is that it seems to be the by far most populated planet in the galaxy. Don’t know how far back in time that would’ve applied, but most Goa’uld controlled civilizations appear small compared to ancient kingdoms and city-states.

So even with only millions of people, that could’ve been enough to have multiple distinct realms without direct conflict. They could also have been separated by time. Yu and Ra were contemporaries, but Apophis might not have been. We know that all the other System Lords are younger than Yu.

Or most of them didn’t stay for long, they built their empires elsewhere, with slaves from Earth.

That is one of the things I’m uneasy about with shows like Stargate, despite how much I enjoy them.

Instead of just discovering the aliens on other worlds, or arriving in the present time, somehow they were here all along. Instead of humans creating and advancing civilization on their own, they were at best guided by outside influences with vast resources and technology advanced beyond what we even have today.

It also means basing your sciencey story on blatant lies.

I dislike it more when it’s a part of time travel stories, where you basically have your main characters go back to take personal credit for something that real people actually did.

Chances are they’ll be a starving criminal or a homeless person who the police will be spending their limited time and resources on abusing, because they’ll be growing up in the families without the means to travel for healthcare.
