Aa!

What makes you think “handle the processing of people as they complete the immigration process” had to include anti-immigration police?

I get the feeling you don’t disagree with the parent commenter at all.

Leverage was/is a pretty ridiculous show sometimes (it’s basically just Ocean’s Five as a series), but I still enjoyed it far more than Dexter

Maybe I’m misunderstanding how grooming techniques work, but nothing about that chest looks waxed to me at all. It looks drawn on, heavily airbrushed, and it’s all out of proportion.

And the hairy chest looks far more attractive

How many bloods should a healthy man have?

This wasn’t even the first John Redcorn they’ve lost. Seems like there’s been tragedy through the show’s entire run

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.

This is already a thing that happens currently. Some admins/moderators don’t like being downvoted and ban people for “vote manipulation” because they vote on things in their feed.

It is leading to exactly that, where people are worried that using the voting system as intended will lead to exclusion from participation in some communities.

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

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.

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.

There are many responses. Not all of them are right

“who wants to shoot a billionaire?”

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

Iran was against Trump, so they didn’t win

Uh… How is it a distraction? It’s the same problem

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
