Call them today. Don’t wait

He’s a special case. He’s been a Trekie since he was young. He’s wanted to be a Klingon forever. He might be doing this for scale rate. And I’d be surprised if he’s on more than a season. If he is, it’ll only be a few episodes each.

Sure she’s an Oscar winner. But that was a long time ago. And Oscars are never a guarantee of future work or pay rate.

For nearly a decade now she’s only done a few guest spots on series, some supporting roles in small movies, a few voice roles. This show is the biggest thing she done in quite a while.

While Paramount+ may be a 3rd tier streaming service, this is Start Trek, and it’s got a real budget behind it.

So are we all

There you go. Good on you

Paradox of tolerance
Sometimes hypocrisy is necessary

Streaming isn’t the problem. The lables screwing over the artists on their streaming cut is the problem. Stop supporting the lables.

I was playing a role to try to make a point to the OP.

Judgmental attitudes ar an accepted cancer of online discourse. And I try to point it out sometimes.

Why do your feelings about how others pay for things matter to anyone?
Why does it even matter to you?

I was trying to be subtle, but that doesn’t seeme to be working.

The point is, lots of people enjoy music lots of different ways, for lots of different reasons. Just because you don’t use subscriptions doesn’t mean they aren’t valid and useful to anyone who isn’t you.

In short: Don’t gate keep

That’s no way to enjoy music. You can hardly hear anything on that tinny little phone speaker.

But why listen to just one song? It seems a waste to sit down, put on headphones or fire up the stereo, all for only a few minutes of music.

Maybe it’s just my age, but I never understood buying single songs. I listen to whole albums. They were crafted and assembled as a set. It feels like buying one scene of a movie, or one chapter of a book.

Jail? No, never. We do kill them occasionally.

Being crappy is a judgement, not a cause of anything.
Using it as such is a cop-out. A lazy way of dismissing something so you don’t have to try to understand it.

Say who?

If actions depend on our thoughts

They don’t

Where did I “begin” … where will I “end”

“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here’s Tom with the weather.” - Bill Hicks

I you word

Your actions are real.
Your thoughts are all in your head.
