I like Kendrick Lamar and still found it kind of boring.

The opening was propaganda and the ads were propaganda. What do they have to complain about?

If your entire personality, beliefs, reactions, actions, debates, arguments and statements are all based on anger .... at one point nothing in this world will make you happy and you'll just be angry at everyone and everything.
Stay mad America .... we can't help you any more.
That Star Trek quote about and becoming comfortable like a leather glove still rings true
When one has been angry for a very long time, one gets used to it. And it becomes comfortable, like... like old leather. And finally... becomes so familiar that one can't ever remember feeling any other way.
comfortable, like... like old leather.
Quote from Captain Jean Luc Picard from Star Trek .... wow, I've watched so much Star Trek in my life that stuff like this is probably ingrained in memory without me knowing it at this point. I watched all of TNG years ago and honestly, I don't remember much and hope to rewatch all of it again some day because of writing like this. Thanks for sharing this.
It's my favourite show of all time.
Yeah, it's cheesy as hell and rough around the edges, but there are episodes that go so hard on a topic and the characters all feel like good role models to emulate.
I rewatch it every now and then.
To this day it's refreshing to put on old Trek and see characters that behave like grown adults.
They're not perfect, they don't have everything figured out, but they have a willingness to be curious and compassionate and humble, to learn and change and improve.
I think people write it off as cheesy and silly because they don't like admitting the quality of the writing and content that is part of these shows. Some of the episodes are cheesy and fun ... but some just hit the nail right on the head and place a big giant mirror in front of society to ask everyone to have a deep dark look at who we really are. I think that insight into ourselves is what upsets people about these shows ... most people don't want to think about things like that and instead want to watch a funny show about some soap opera love story.
It's been about 20 years since I last saw TNG .... I have so much more Trek to watch but I'm looking forward to rewatching TNG again some day.
Same, it has been years since I've watched any Star Trek but every now and then I'll dream about an episode or just randomly remember a scene or quote.
Maybe a rewatch is exactly what I need to restore my faith in humanity right now?

I’m just mad he didn’t say the word “pedophile”
Honestly, I thought the nod early in the performance was all we were gonna get. I didn't think he was going to do ANY of that specific song. The fact the only thing censored was the word pedophile just makes more people that don't know what's up want to look it up.

Well of course.
- The host and musical guests were black.
- Kendrick calls out pedophiles.
They can't have either of those obviously.
Also, it's wild just how unpopular NFL is on Lemmy - there's just not a whole of discussions at all, even about the halftime show.
Well considering a lot of the discussion on here is around tech and specifically Linux that doesn't surprise me. Very online tech people usually aren't that interested in sports.

Bitches can stay mad.
"Melts down", like when a nuclear reactor goes critical, isn't the apt descriptor for this response.
It was more like, "Maga generally disliked or was otherwise uninterested in the super bowl halftime performance".
