I'm pretty sure baldness is not a medical condition...
I will be dead in the cold cold ground before I ever type "/s"
I know it sounds insane but I swear to god BlueSky has astroturfing accounts on Lemmy. Every conversation (including yours here) about BlueSky is met with countless Sealions either saying it "will be federated soon" or asking "Why does federation matter?"
This is very cool! Thanks for sharing.
Everything now is rage-bait designed to get more clicks
IMO the greatest strength of the Fediverse is the increased number of mods and admins looking at everything. Don't want rage bait? Join an instance that has rules against it.
Additional PSA to admins not running a "universal free speech" instance- if you see someone someone being obnoxious it's probably annoying your users just as much as is is you. Don't put the onus fully on users to curate their experience. The Fediverse needs our adults in the room!
Always wanted one of those!
This is an excellent thing to wear in public and wait for other Trekkies to notice.
Happy to help! I would love it if you report back, we used to get 100 "How do I get a friend into Trek" posts/day on /r/StarTrek but very few follow ups on if it stuck!
"Data's Day" is actually a pretty great one to get someone into TNG, it's fun, but most importantly, Data is essentially walking around introducing all of the main characters to the audience.
I typically recommend starting with TNG in general (I used to say because it was "modern" 😭) as it naturally leads into DS9 and VOY. That said if your friend doesn't typically watch older shows but is open to them, then just starting with SNW or ENT is an excellent intro to the rest of Trek.
Big fan of that design but even more of Disco (Season 1 that is)
I thought this was going to be a video essay on Star Trek Phase II but I was pleasantly surprised
It doesn't meet the definition of "developing nation" either.
To be clear- this is just your personal "vibe" and not an actual fact, because the term "third world country" literally means a country that is not aligned with the US or USSR. If you meant "developing nation" that term also has a definition the US does not meet.
Is this just your vibes or do you have a source? Because I just checked the website of the organization this article is referencing and it says no such thing.
First of all, that's not what "Economic Freedom" means in the context of democracy, but more importantly "economic freedom" is not even a factor in the methodology used by the group this article is citing.
You sir, are worse than Hitler.
Rising thread in r/memes: a user deletes their account and a top comment/reply is "I hope this is a trend" and "Lemmy is a good place to go" (UPDATE: Removed by mods)
For that one fraction of a second, you were open to options you had never considered... Charting the unknown possibilities of existence.

If you begin the Voyager episode "Spirit Folk" at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight.
When discussing the plural name for the group of beings with different faces that are The Doctor, is it proper to say "The Doctors", "Doctors Who" or...?
