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.

You end up with echo chambers by blocking people and communities you don’t like.

Downvoted content is not only still visible, half the sorting options ignore it.

He also spends large amounts of money on social programs and reconstruction efforts, which is a fun fantasy story

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

“People saying I am wrong prove I’m right!”

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

Probably Monty Python’s Life of Brian

I was one of those Holy Grail kids, I loved the movie and memorized the lines. Wanting more, I looked up other Monty Python works

I was in 7th grade or something, raised in a very religious home. I was not expecting what Life of Brian was, and I know I wasn’t old enough to understand all of the jokes they made

Hilarious movie

You’re telling me that this sign, stating “ON”, is hung upside down, and an owl is hanging from it?

I’m suspicious of these claims, but I’m too distracted by the adorable owl to dwell on it

North America. Is there a pattern of difference?

No I’m in my 40s

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.”

There are many responses. Not all of them are right

Well in Rain Man, he counted 246 toothpicks (“82, 82, 82.”) out of 250

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
