Aa!

Eh, giving out a downvote isn’t a stressor, nor it’s it necessarily personal. It’s not even an indicator that the content should be removed, just that a user doesn’t think it’s helpful/fun/or contributing to the discussion

It’s bare minimum feedback where blocking is not. And honestly, we should encourage more of it, rather than encourage people to create their echo chambers (within an already somewhat echo chambery platform)

If anything is personally stressful, it’s stressing over an anonymous user’s opinion that has very little context to it. Downvotes don’t even hide or reduce visibility of your comments or posts in most of the sorting methods.

I want this food, and I like the way your wife plates it.

Theoretically, you can still sue the office of the President, just not Trump himself.

So, you know. You can cost the taxpayers money, but not the person making the terrible costly decisions

Portal was a Star Trek story after all

Not a typical one. Wheatley proved himself immune to Kirk’s usual method of dealing with rogue computers.

I can’t help but remind you that O’Brien was the one expecting redundant backups in Cardassian systems.

O’Brien was scrappy, but Rom was scrappier. He learned from lack of resources while integrating Ferengi systems with Cardassian systems.

O’Brien had resources to back him up. He may have caused a language epidemic, but Rom never caused a panic unless he was instructed to. And he did that without question

This is terrible advice

Most humans aren’t hunters at all

He basically begged for that position after years of standing in the transporter room, waiting for the odd episode where something actually does go wrong with it.

He wanted a place where he could be creative and solve problems, rather than be overshadowed by the chief engineer getting the credit every time.

As a software engineer for a large corporation, I feel this deeply

North America. Is there a pattern of difference?

Zero issues, everything works exactly as I expect

Not to say no issues exist, but I have encountered none, and that is data

I’ll say it.

In spite of everything we saw in Discovery, Michelle Yeoh was always a delight, no matter which character she played

If we got more of her, regardless of the rest, I’ll enjoy it

This is what I’ve been saying. I think it should go even further and give admins a default block list of users.

A lot of folks talk about how Lemmy became useable after they spent hours (or sometimes a month) blocking the right communities and users, but most social media users don’t want to work that hard, they just want to start doomscrolling.

It’s a reference from The Simpsons. Sarcasm is a good explanation, though it’s probably more accurately satire

I have had closee friends get very mad at me for making this point.

Netanyahu is bloodthirsty. Biden is spineless. This doesn’t absolve him of his complicity, but they are distinct issues, and they should be addressed accordingly.

“Well what about that tattoo on your chest? Doesn’t it say ‘Die Bart, die’?”

“No! That’s German for 'The Bart. The.”

Silly Kim, the Borg can select what to assimilate and what not.

Except for the times they couldn’t, such as In the cases of Hugh, Icheb, and Endgame’s Janeway vs Borg Queen.

Okay maybe the last one isn’t fair since Janeway did have the future advantage. But the other cases showed that entire cubes were lost to this sort of attack.

I for one fully support Kim’s weaponized concerto

“who wants to shoot a billionaire?”

Which network is this on? I don’t usually like reality tv, but this sounds fascinating

As is tradition, they will blame Democrats for the effects of policies chosen by Republicans

This is somehow racist.

You think all Salome Jens look alike, don’t you?

You should see the episode when a woman body swapped with Kirk, and how the Enterprise crew suspected something was wrong

But why bother holding back in the first place. If this is whistleblower information like Boeing safety issues, there’s no point in setting up a dead man’s switch. You want to release it all immediately in the first place, because keeping it to yourself undermines the point of blowing the whistle
