“the millenium falcon would wipe out the enterprise in seconds” lmao the enterprise is just an innocent science class floating thru space…. all they wanna do is look at some rocks… kiss an alien…. find some space plants….. why would you fight that its not a battleship theyre just nerds…… leave them olone
A friend of mine saw this and brought up some interesting arguments
so, in other words,
Pretty much.
here have some size comparison

Lasers and blasters were considered obsolete (to the extent of uselessness) way before the federation was even founded.
a star destroyer probably wouldn’t pose much of a threat to even the NX Enterprise, and regarding the Millenium Falcon, the federation Enterprises all had tractor beams.
While most ANY of the Enterprises could stand up to the Millenium Falcon and win, their match against the Star Destroyers would be much more open to interpretation. The “lasers are obsolete” line in Star Trek does not take into account Star Wars primarily uses a -different weapon-, turbolasers, which have power outputs comparable to a phaser.
Also Star Wars has deflector shields too. And they’re useless in both settings.
So then it comes to the flying as the determining factor. The millennium falcon is much more maneuverable and has for a fact taken down a station the size of a moon. And I have no doubt the crew could disable the tractor beams and escape.
The crew would have to get on the Enterprise to disable the tractor beams.
And early Enterprises definitely had trouble with very small craft.

You seem to forget that Picard had many visitors on the enterprise and I bet he’d be interested in bens space magic. The only difficulty I can find in regards to getting on the enterprise and deactivating shields is finding a way off considering I don’t think han and crew know how to use the transporters.

When I start to get emotional I immediately think “I’m so gay” and this is because straight people actually don’t have emotions
this is false and heterophobic. straight people have a panorama of emotions including:
outrage
jealousy
Situational Benevolence (aka “don’t fight hate w/ hate”)
sports
umami, the “Fifth Emotion”
TGIF

i’ll tell you this, bullies didn’t stop bullying me when i gave them everything they wanted, or when i talked to them about my feelings
bullies stopped bullying me when they felt like they had something to lose if they tried to trample me
moreover, bullies were actually more likely to actually listen to me about my feelings, if they felt like they had something to lose first
sometimes people are actually incapable of caring about you as a human being until they’re scared you’ll hit back first
i describe a lot of shit in this like leverage
until you have leverage against your opponent, “good faith debate” is meaningless
if they have nothing to lose by dismissing you and your humanity, then constantly coming to the table trying to convert bigots? pointless
if you sincerely want to reform nazis, then first those nazis have to be scared of you for this to be even possible
people keep linking that piece of that stormfrnt kid who changed his views, but they always gloss over the fact that he himself said-
-that the rejection and shame of his views by the community was IMPORTANT for him to actually consider he was wrong in the first place
colin at it again with the wisdom

Pokemon art challenge day 23: Favourite Unova

I didn’t like black and white. There was a lot of pokemon I didn’t like. But Keldeo is one that I completely adore. I just wish that the game was captivating enough bother getting them.
