When I tried to ballpark it looking at my starships poster they seemed like they might be about the same. But you could be right, the Breen Dreadnaught could be certainly be the bigger ship.

there is basically no relation what-so-ever between having health insurance and getting healthcare.

This is 100% false.

it doesn’t mandate care

Because of Republican opposition. The one and only way to get that is for the GOP to lose elections repeatedly.

The WP knows this and is trolling you. It has 0% chance of happening. It never should have been published. And it should have been completely ignored after it was published.

Washington Post editor is an idiot for allowing this column to be published in there paper. Especially since it has no chance whatsoever of happening.

Perhaps the dems should ask themselves why mandatory purchasing of insurance was the pinnacle of their accomplishment in the last 40 years and attempt to examine that.

It was not. Getting health insurance for an additional 30 million Americans was.

But sure fully embracing racial taxonomy and spending as much time as possible classifying people based on skin-tone, facial features, phenotypes, skull shape and literally anything besides class might work too.

Nope. That is just some idiot media pundit nonsense. Not so be taken seriously.

Most of them are with Trump, and that’s not going to change

This article is completely wrong. Why would white people be okay with Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump destroying the democracy that white people created? If Hillary Clinton had had a few grisly bikers mixed into the Muslim women behind her in crowds she would have beat Treason Trump in 2016. Dems need to take a lesson from Bernie Sanders and focus on things that all Americans want to see. Rejecting the majority would be the dumbest idea ever.

The scenes in the isolation chamber in underwear applying gel to each other were totally unnecessary

I thought so at the time but later realized that was a key scene of the whole entire show. You missed a lot of the nuance. That was where T’pol developed her crush on Trip. Her crush on Trip was the only reason she became the first Vulcan to be able to stay aboard a human ship for longer than a few weeks. And T’pol’s presence on the ship advising Archer was what made Archer so successful in laying the groundwork of the entire federation.

but that fourth season was so damn good.

It was the best seaon of any Trek ever IMO.

I don’t think they had replicators. They were invented ~50 years after Enterprise.

Operation Market Garden is still paying for its failure after all these years.

Maybe a start would be a forum for employer reviews

for an institutionalized candidate who no-one liked instead?

How idiotic can you get? If no one liked the nominee she wouldn’t have had the most votes.

The DNC chose Hilary.

By “DNC” you mean the voters?

You can’t maintain that it wasn’t a choice.

Exactly. Stop pretending it wasn’t the voter’s choice. That is Trump level bullshit. There just wasn’t enough of us voting Bernie.

I am pissed off by her “Redcoat claims to be patriot” crap.

Or maintain a flat general rate across the board for all mods … make it a liveable wage so that it is worth it to everyone.

Within a few years almost all of reddit’s mods would be from China or other 3rd world country.

Revert to the source code of about 10 years ago and get rid of most programmers. The only positive change in the last 10 years is the ability of users to ban people from harassing you.

Allow all subs to identify other subs they are similar too, and link all that information together so that users who don’t like how sub is moderated can find an official list of alternative subs.

Allow only temporary bans, not permanent bans from mods. Admins can still give permanent bans for bad faith or dishonest actors and should do so for foreign governments trying to influence other countries.

Allow subs to optionally require flair identifying citizenships and if you are found to be dishonest you can get site ban.

Get rid of certain pieces of automod functionality that subtract value for the users of the site.

“[moderators] may be able to leverage their influence within those communities to change the dynamics of the discourse within the communities or to disrupt the normal operation of their communities or other communities on our platform.”

And they can give you rando-bans out of nowhere, suddenly cutting you off from your topic of interest and exposing serious flaws with the entire site.

There are 2 kinds of people who get banned. People who actually deserve it and people who get rando-bans. A rando-ban is something you have no control over. It is caused by things like unwritten rules, nonsensical rules, or the unpaid intern mods having a bad day. Things that a warning could have easily taken care of. Lemmy cannot give you a rando-ban, but if you actually deserve a ban than multiple people can come together and do it.

My first rando-ban on reddit was posting too much content from the Washington Post. Even though I was only posting about 1 article per month I was “spamming”. It is wonderful knowing that on lemmy/kbin I can finally start submitting content again without risking a rando-ban.

Reminder that Steve Bannon frankly confessed Trump’s Start the Steal conspiracy plans to a group of Trump insiders before the election.

…audio from Trump advisor, Steve Bannon, surfaced from October 31st, 2020, just a few days before the Presidential election.

Let’s listen. [Begin Videotape]

STEVE BANNON: And what Trump’s going to do is declare victory, right? He’s going to declare victory, but that doesn’t mean he’s a winner. He’s just gonna say he’s a winner. The Democrats — more of our people vote early that count. Theirs vote in mail. And so they’re going to have a natural disadvantage and Trump’s going to take advantage — that’s our strategy.

He’s gonna declare himself a winner. So when you wake up Wednesday morning, it’s going to be a firestorm. Also — also if Trump is — if Trump is losing by 10 or 11:00 at night, it’s going to be even crazier. Because he’s gonna sit right there and say they stole it. If Biden’s wining, Trump is going to do some crazy shit.

When it comes to conservatives there are 2 groups. The Liars and the Rubes who believe the liars. I’m always astonished to realize that people who I thought were Liars were actually Rubes. The Rubes blew millions of $ because they believed the Liars.
