Given Lemmy’s leftward sociopolitical skew, the appreciation for Star Trek makes perfect sense, but what do we think of “MacGyver”? I specifically refer to the 85-92 Richard Dean Anderson show; I know there’s a reboot but I haven’t seen it yet.

Let’s see…

-Leftward Socio-political Commentary, including environmental activism and anti-authoritarianism

-Male protagonist with actual outward sensitivity & feelings

-“Open-source”; makes his own tools/gadgets from whatever’s available instead of relying on a corporate supply chain.

Sounds right up this platform’s alley.

I’m halfway through season 2 and it’s pretty damn good; it’s basically James Bond as an overgrown Boy Scout and that’s actually rather endearing.

    No, it’s only annoying when you complain about it across multiple instances.

            I can’t tell if you’re either disingenuous or dense, but I guess I’ll take the bait.

            They’re spreading new information across a wider space. You’re just whining and contributing nothing to the communities or the discussion.

              Ah, well, ok, Mr. Toxic Positivity, here’s an argument that is implied by my whining which might contribute more greatly to discussion:

              1. You’re diluting your own discusssion and
              2. It also puts commenters in the position of deciding where to put their comment.
