You ever watched any of the mirror universe episodes?

Because that’s basically what happens. Vulcans make first contact, humans shoot them in the face, loot their tech and use it to build an interstellar racist empire.

Huh. Meanwhile I always found that scene awkward, brooks trying his best to sound melodic but contrasted by an actual singer.

Where is the “i time traveled to the 21st century social unrests and all I got was this lousy role in history” face?

Don’t aggregate me pal

Oh yeah that’s probably a thing, right. Didn’t think of external relations

Isn’t that what the stardate is for? Since it seems unlikely humans would adopt a wildly confusing system that also doesn’t seem to be related in any way to earth or its culture.

At least that’s what I always assumed, the stardate is the unified federation calendar.

I’d say it is more notoriety than popularity.

Thinking of it perhaps it is the client I use that does it, voyager. I have never not been using it ever since I joined lemmy so i often forget that i might have a different experience than other users.

I have a sum total displayed in my profile which works as I described, and assumed that is what everyone gets to see.

If it is the same as for me it should be the sum of your posts and comments. What and how popular wouldn’t matter, just each submission equals one point.

Thanks for your insights, now that you mention it I have noticed the tendency for husbands of women to chime in instead of the wives themselves quite a bit. I didn’t realize it was that ubiquitous.

I will try to make a conscious effort to pay attention to these tendencies you describe, and also thank you for sticking it out 💪

I read a similar sentiment yesterday in a thread about apparent misogyny on lemmy. As someone affected, what would you suggest be done to improve the situation?

I must say I have rarely observed the issue myself and if so the offenders generally get down voted to hell and eventually mod deleted. Though I am of course a dude and not frequenting the women centric spaces, so my perception is definitely skewed.

I don’t disagree but there is a distinct difference between social democracy and a socialist democracy, or democratic socialism.

The former is a capitalist system with some welfare systems in place, the latter is socialism without the one party state.

I liked the mental probing scene in dredd for this reason, you may be able to read someone’s thoughts but who’s to say they aren’t showing you the most fucked up shit they can think of. I’m not sure I’d want to be able to see the true depravity that is in man’s imagination.

It does look gorgeous tho. People slight the kelvinverse all the time but the ships are beautiful

Isn’t there some betazed tradition that could be hamfisted in to make them fully nude, all in the name of authenticity of course? Majel walked so they could rubn
