Not trying to lessen your point, but people do be dying from sepsis all of the time still. Granted, we do have way better treatment and protocols, but it’s a fast killer if not caught in time and a lot of different things can cause sepsis

But polio, for sure way better. Never seen anyone with polio before irl

Also stroke treatment. Wayyyy better now than before. We didn’t really have anything except aspirin until the 90’s, and now we’re straight up removing the clots from the brain (when we can). It’s kind of wild how much stroke treatment has improved in 30 years

“You got the brains god promised a crowbar”

Instead of: ‘your mom’, ‘that’s what she said’, ‘title of your sex tape’, etc… I just say, “jokes”.

Doesn’t matter what the joke is, but what was said definitely has a joke in there somewhere. It’s an implied innuendo, and it’s mostly for my own amusement

“I’m giving 'er all she’s got!!!” = “Jokes”

If the GOP left voluntarily, we could save a LOT more than a third… it’s not even comparable

Well, you just saved me a bunch of time trying to figure out how to auto-update my humble little server. Granted, I only have Plex and Samba Share right now, but I like the principle. Hell, an update once blanked my smb config file for whatever reason

Now auto-backups are another thing; because I would like to use a .tar file, but then it leads me down a rabbit hole because I don’t know how to repair Grub if needed for a restore, or what Grub really even is vs Bios… I’ve just been learning as I go

I’m a few weeks away from getting a couple parts for an upgrade, and then it’ll be some fun. I want to redo it from scratch and maybe set up proxmox and change my file system to zfs, then start looking at docker, figure out Jellyfin and look at some ARR stuff… maybe tailscale or headscale. Idk, it’s just fun cause it’s a hobby. I just haven’t had the storage or ram really, but soon

That was my exact thinking this morning as well. My state allows concealed carry without a permit, so I could legally go with my carry… but I thought better of it. I didn’t expect any violence where I’m at, and it just seemed like it wasn’t worth the risk, being the cause of more harm than good. It kinda went against the spirit of this protest imo, so I left it at home

Fuck it, I’m not that scared of dying that I gotta go strapped everywhere to feel safe. There’s a time and place for carrying, and the protest wasn’t one of them for me

Nah… SLAMMED

Wonder how much copper is wired up in those things

Fuck that noise, I can’t stand that petty nonsense. If someone’s gonna be snarky to me over something dumb, I like to loud-cap and embarass them. Ya don’t even have to be mean, just direct and blunt

When I’m asked to hold someone’s purse, I don’t hold it in my hand away from me like it’s diseased. I put it on my shoulder like god intended. If someone wants to say something instead of minding their business… I’m going to have a little fun. “THEY’RE TRYING TO STEAL MY PURSE!!! THAT’S NOT YOUR PURSE SIR!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU‽”

A 10 page research paper with 2 weeks to complete; written overnight and realizing how much more time you should have spent on it, and why did I do this to myself again (no AI to “help” you at that time). Saving, printing, and sprinting to class because you somehow managed to complete it 10 minutes before class starts.

Never considered using “Urgency” as a motivator, but it checks out… a lot. I like to consider it just being “optimistic” about how much time I have

That’s a rather large leap in logic. And “the poor” wasn’t even mentioned, so your opinion just comes off as inflammatory

But I guess opinions are like kittens, people just give 'em away

I can’t wait to watch Strange New Worlds, but I’m saving it for now. And I love that the Voyager and Discovery themes are your go-to… because they’re the best ones! Haven’t even seen Discovery, but watched the intro and the theme song is excellent. And you’re correct, Janeway was morally right to seperate Tuvix. “Keep your shirt tucked in, go down with the ship, and never abandon a member of your crew”. Tuvix wasn’t a crew member, and her priority was to the both of them, not him alone… I’ll die on that hill too lol. But thank you, I’m excited that your excited for us! We’ve just been nerding out on it with no shame

Last bit that’s an unpopular opinion: I hate Bones. I understand his merit as a balancing character and he occasionally does or says something that really makes you say, “hell yeah, good on ya McCoy!”… but fuck Bones. I’m sorry, I’m not sorry; I can’t help it. He’s just a dick as his whole personality, to the point that it seems like he was mean as an actual person, not just a character. “Fuck Bones” is a running joke between us at this point. I just need him to get off the bridge and go do his job for the love of god, you don’t have to insert your hardline opinions about everything; nobody asked you. “You’re a doctor damnit, not a command officer!”— End rant. But I’ve noticed I’m in the minority on that one lol. Bashir’s the sweetest doctor by a landslide though

I do plan on watching Discovery, despite what I’ve heard, because I still love the premise of it all, at the end of the day. I already know the first season will be rough… but idk, if I can get through season one of DS9 (and let’s be honest, season 2 as well), I think I’ll get into it. Cause by season 3 of DS9, it started to slap and felt like good 'ol space again, and I started to love it for it’s own flavor. So I’m optimistic and persistent enough lol

But yeah, it’s the best thing Lemmy has given to me because I’m more than officially hooked. Hell, my text ringtone is the TOS intercom tone and my wife has a Janeway popsocket on her phone (There’s a right way, a wrong way, and the Janeway). We have TOS on blueray and I’m planning on hitting up the library for the rest… y’all got us pretty good, to say the least lmao But we appreciate it

Yup, got the wife on board too lol. We both love Sci-Fi, but neither of us ever watched it. And then suddenly, we had an enormous pool of great sci-fi to watch! We started probably around October, 2023

I had posted this on !risa@startrek.website around that time
