Seriously. Fuck all this generational bullshit. Artificial divides cooked up by ad agencies. Such a waste of time and energy.

See, if Kamala Harris had posted this, she'd have garnered a much better response. On Lemmy, at any rate. This is a far more appropriate tribute to the man's legacy.

Yeah... I pay attention to UK politics mostly to avoid hyper focusing on depressing domestic politics, and it's devastating to see Labor shit the bed the way they have.

Like, you guys are supposed to be better than us (it's a low bar)! But they squandered their mandate in the most perverse and infuriating way. I'm sorry. Shit sucks.

Anyway, that's my half-assed perspective from listening to Pod Save the UK, the Bugle, and reading the occasional article.

People who criticize new (or old) Trek for its wokeness are overwhelmingly not on this platform. People here who dislike Kurtzman-era Trek take issue with the lacklustre writing. At least, that's my impression. I suppose it's possible that there are a bunch of bigots commenting that I've blocked and/or have defederated with.

Absent that, the proliferation of these sorts of memes just strikes me as pandering, coupled with a misguided, combative defensiveness of anything that falls under the corporate-owned Trek umbrella, regardless of quality.

This generational bullshit is all made up by marketing assholes. None of it is legit, it's all a distraction from the class war we should all be waging.

Just in the interest of cheering you up a bit, I'd like to point out that many people simply refuse to click on YouTube links. Personally, I have no desire to engage with video content, especially when it's shared with little to no context. It's not out of laziness, but more out of a conviction that far too many people have outsourced their thinking to random vloggers, and believe that posting a link to their favorite video essay lends credibility to their argument.

This is heretical. Obviously, you have to save all your consumables for some hypothetical future encounter, as is tradition!

I feel like it'd be canon for him to be Naomi Wildman's first officer.

This is hilariously plausible.

Other than that, how was the kerning, Mrs. Lincoln?

Is this like a chat-gpt meme account?

When I start a rewatch of DS9, it still grates on me that he seemingly felt justified in holding Picard responsible for what happened to his wife. The guy was assimilated by the Borg, and Sisko has had years to come to terms with what happened before the conversation with Picard.

Later, I was able to appreciate the appeal of a flawed, complex, possibly more realistic Star Trek captain, but it did make him pretty unlikable, right off the bat, especially when I first saw it as a kid. I grew up on TNG, and Picard was my main man. Still, Brooks did a hell of a job on the series, and Sisko was a fantastic character.

Since the news broke that Academy was cancelled, I've seen a number of comments implying that people who posted negatively about it on Lemmy are in some way responsible for its cancellation. That's a ridiculous notion. Nobody with the power to make that decision gives a single shit about what goes on here, nor are they even aware of our existence. I get that you're frustrated, but your ire is misdirected.

Nice work! I unclogged a toilet today, which required removing it, clearing out the drain pipe with an augur, and replacing the wax seal. I've done this a few times over the past year, as my son has a habit of flushing enormous quantities of toilet paper.

While it's a dirty, smelly job, by far the worst part in my experience is reseating the toilet bowl on the drain pipe. The bolts are all wiggly, so if you don't get the placement just right, you have to back off, set the bowl down—gently, or you'll chip it!—and realign the bolts before trying again. I did it today on the third or fourth try, but I've definitely gotten up to eight or ten before.

Can any dull folk enlighten me as to how to make this process easier? As the fellow in the infomercial says, there has to be a better way!

I support this. Are there any organizations supplying orcas with mk 19's that I can donate to?

No, it isn't!

Galaxy is just a launcher. You don't need it to play any of your games, it's just a centralized place to track achievements, sync cloud saves and whatnot.

He really lost it when Daphne ran off, poor man. First that awful collection, and now this?

I give China the benefit of the doubt because they are, at least, claiming to be a Marxist state. This on its own puts them above any non-Marxist state.

This is a spectacularly stupid assertion. Like, we're talking trumpian levels of idiocy here. Y'all tankies really want to make horseshoe theory a thing.

I think where a lot of this comes from is that HRC had locked in the vast majority of the superdelegates right from the start. The media consistently represented Bernie as having no chance to win, due to all the superdelegates being in the bag for Clinton, regardless of how people voted. This depressed progressive turnout, as a Clinton victory was apparently a foregone conclusion. Absent the superdelegate system, and the lopsided media coverage it engendered, many would argue the result would have been different. Obviously, there's no way of knowing at this point, but it's not as if these claims have no basis in reality.

Zounds! Is it Durin's Day, already? Or is there a camera filter for moon letters now? Cool map!
