Science studying the phenomenon have called doors “memory erasers”. Your brain considers a different room the equivalent of a different environment, and tosses out the short term memory from the environment you’re no longer in (the next room over).
The effect is so pronounced it can be replicated by having participants go through a “virtual doorway” on a computer.
Seriously, though, if we all didn’t start channeling the rage at the people who are actually destroying things, what’s even the point??
Who are you channeling rage at right now?
You’ll really go to any extent possible to avoid the idea of solidarity, won’t you?
The say while continuously behaving in a way contrary to solidarity.
So whatever you win I guess? Since that apparently is all you seem to care about, which is just ludicrous and bizarre. So go on with your bad self. Or something? Weirdo
Because that’s not a paragraph typed out by someone trying to “win” whatever the fuck they think this is. This is one of those “every accusation is a confession” situations.
I’ll never understand the whole assigning blame routine
Proceeds to assign blame:
There’s plenty of people and organizations to blame, from Rupert Murdock to the Heritage Foundation and beyond.
And then continues to assign blame:
Well, no, I guess if I’m going to be honest here it does help the sociopathic oligarchs maintain control. So congratulations - you’re fighting for the wrong fucking side.
So guess you understand it just fine.
The same thing the Trump administration does every time a judge tells them to stop doing something
I think they spent way too much time on Ed getting over his divorce with his XO Kelly, but after that he’s fine.
He gets over Kelly at some point? I can’t remember if I watched 2 or 3 seasons but one of my problems with the show is how cringey and toxic he consistently is towards her. “The only way to stop me from dating this younger clone of you we came across is if you date me instead” was pretty late in the series.
I like the rest of the cast, but the captain is grating.
Ones with a third different head shape, no less!
And long drawn out subtitled scenes for some reason.
In TNG when Klingons are talking on a Klingon ship I don’t think they’re actually speaking English. I understand they are speaking their native language and it is being translated for me. I don’t know why Discovery thought this was the place to go for “realism”.
How you made that jump from what I said
Maybe it was when you said:
should we go back to the racist Asian caricature based look?
That’s less of a jump and more of a… What’s smaller than as step?
You’re outie brings glory to his house.
It’s a show of support and organization. It’s a warning that “We are able to organize enough people to make this much of an impact for 1 day, if nothing changes then next time it will be longer.”
It was a difficult situation but I don’t think Janeway made the wrong decision.
There’s a reason humans are an important part of the federation, and it’s not because they are the smartest. They are the crazy fuckers who do whatever insane thing comes to mind just to see what will happen.
For those that haven’t seen it: The United Federation of Hold My Beer
Yes, if that were to happen it would be a big blow. It hasn’t happened despite all the things, so I’m not holding my breath.
I’m still seeing Twitter posts on Lemmy frequently. It doesn’t matter if they’re bots or paid, the site is still being used and posts are still being passed around.

Rebranded as “X” in July 2023 under Elon Musk’s leadership, the platform saw a 15% drop in monthly active users soon after. Despite this, with 611 million monthly active users…
“X” is doing just fine.
If Twitter hasn’t had a mass exodus I’m not holding it hope for any other social media. The fact of the matter is the majority of the public just don’t care.
Incorporating that in a way that doesn’t allow for vote manipulation by just lying to a server that different “anonymous” users have up or down voted a post sounds incredibly difficult, and not worth it for the narrow use case of “prevent my votes from being data mined even though all my comments can.”
datamining my voting patterns for building a deeper interest profile.
They can already datamine your posts.
I did not select potato head and got through that one
