You say that, and then you shamelessly self-promote and dump a cuck-coded repo on us and sing its praises. You have done zero contribution to our community to establish your technical aptitude, let alone make a positive difference to the community itself.

The fact that you are baffled by this reception is honestly hilarious. Pull your sanctimonious head out of your ass.

Agh. Fuck. Yeah; Williams was a huge loss as well 😢

Also:

but it’s too late - I’ve already seen everything

Exploration. Morality. Intelligence. Dignity. Honor. Confidence. Empathy. Curiosity. Dedication.

In a lot of very real ways, I realize that I have, for a long time, considered Stewart’s portrayal of Picard to essentially be the reference standard of what outstanding leadership can and should be.

Also, as to Stewart himself: I’ve always thought he was, at his core, a genuinely good human.

Fuck, man, I haven’t felt this heartbroken about a celebrity death since Anthony Bourdain.

Sounds like it was reverse engineered by an LLM

It’s less financially rewarding because most of the developed world exists in the context of late stage capitalism and / or oligopoly.

Sounds like that user may have been a dick and ran afoul of a mod…?

Also, for them to portray the moderating experience of lemmy as worse than Reddit is… uh… fascinating.

man rsync

Janeway replicates her coffee.

Holden would never stand for that philistine bullshit.

The Expanse comes to mind. Holden (one of the main protagonists) has a series-long trope of being a MASSIVE coffee enthusiast, which is interesting for a series set largely in zero-G

ah, but you have heard of me!

I’ve always been partial to triples myself, in terms of exhaust note

Don’t bother lol

One of my three strikes was for commenting on an antifascist thread as follows:

it’s always a good day to punch a Nazi

I mean… I’ll be the one to say it: he’s not gonna know.

Do what you want and need to in order to maintain your sanity. Placate him with a white lie - and it is a white lie - to make him feel better, if you want to. But maintaining your boundaries and avoiding people you find utterly caustic isn’t “childish”. In fact, I’d call it a consummately adult behavior.

That shit was a core memory for me, too - I was in middle school when 9/11 went down, and high school during the Iraq invasion and war. I remember feeling weird about signing up for selective service (it’s a compulsory holdover from the draft era, if you aren’t aware), and being moderately concerned that I’d be plucked for deployment to the Middle East if some political dipshit decided they needed more meatbags for the grinder. It absolutely sped up my political coming of age.

Side note: I now struggle to take the popular outrage at the event seriously, in light of the fact that during peak covid, there were a couple weeks where we were losing a 9/11’s worth of people across the US every single fucking day. Call me callous if you will, but the popular reaction to that of “fuck you I won’t wear a mask or get a vaccine but I’ll inject bleach and take ivermectin” kind of broke me in terms of having any faith whatsoever in the broader American populace. Huge swaths of my countrymen don’t give a single shit about anything unless it either affects them very directly, or it’s a splashy MCU-esque story.

Ooh, good protip! I’ll have to check that out.

Ugh goddammit. I still check a handful of long running CW post chains from some writers/users whose stories I’ve become invested in… but I guess I’m done with that now :(
