I had a peek at season 5, new captain and no ivanova. The new captain has some of the Ivanova attributes from what I can see in the first episode.

First impressions I don’t think it’s a huge loss, I found ivanova the least engaging of everyone, Marcus was an interesting foil for her as he was so engaging.

Interesting, the story feels finished to a certain degree. I’ll go looking for this third space movie.

About 15 episodes into season 3, holy crap it just keeps getting better. They manage to do the “war” thing sooo much better than ds9 did the dominion war.

Also Walter Koenig is fantastic. Just watching Ship of Tears.

The purple Drazi look cooler.

These are an essential piece of beach/holiday gear to fix your jandals(flipflops or thongs in Australia)with.

I get visions of HAL or that Simpsons Halloween special with the sentient house.

Also enjoying the episode on fanatical xenophobia too!

Totally, kinda hope the majority of American voters agree this year.

I’ve also noticed that for some communities, such as the conservative community, the posts get downvoted heaps because they are as accessible as any community. On Reddit I just wouldn’t have seen their posts. This potentially makes it unwelcome for people of particular ideologies. (Possibly a self governing trait of the wider community)

No such thing as a fish promotes Babbel, they have a code thingee too to get some percent off the first year.

I mean, in this day and age why isn’t [insert what I know to be true] accepted by [everyone who I perceive to be wrong]. Hegel leads to another Russian smart man who argues a bunch of it might be due to this idea of perezhivanie; how we make sense of what is happening (particularly dramatic events) through our cognition, our emotions and filtered through our needs.

How we make sense of stuff leads to how we behave/believe. This is impacted by our social environment, how we are brought up, our experiences, and our reasoning of those experiences.

It’s why it is argued that information alone will never change someone’s mind about something, it needs to be attached to an emotion and an experience to unpack.

This is an absolute win and should be promoted.

I’m curious, what happens when you block a user? Do you just not see anything from them anymore? Cause that seems like a super effective way to not get irate at a user you really don’t agree with on anything and can’t have a civil conversation with.

Probably not, I was curious. It’s a pretty petty thing to be annoyed about.

The internet is full of people that may like to share some idiosyncrasies for the entertainment. These things are unique and at the end of the day is truly unimportant.

Except I’m right and that person that has no divider at all is possibly on watch lists.

What’s the percent chance that AI causes advancements and prosperity?

This is an interesting take, I don’t often have several course meals and maybe the intricacies of proper dining are not going to be passed on to future generations. Peon status affirmed.

Sadly it feels (unsure about factual numbers) that NZ is heading to similar styles as the US in terms of politics.

Two elections ago our slightly right of centre main party used popularist Trump/MAGA style campaigning and got slammed for it.

However the latest govt has bypassed a bunch of good process (using urgency) to just repeel a bunch of stuff the previous govt put in place.

I find with my partner debates are a huge amount of compromise like your cutlery drawer. For example I wanted two kids, she wanted four, we compromised and had four.

I love hearing about “other” (from the perspective of my own growing up) ways of eating food. We have chopsticks and use them infrequently so they are in the “everything else” drawer.

I’m glad someone else is outraged as I was, enough to make a shit post about it on the internet anyway.
