The original post here uses words like “gouging” and “raking”, so this didn’t start out as a calm discussion of opportunity cost.
The post you’re replying to is kind of condescending, so all in all this is probably not the best content we’ll see all day.
So what’s your ideal scenario for what should have happened? US authorities apprehend the former President, charge him with no crimes, and ship him out of the country?
I am not versed in how the ICC works. Are /were there indictments or the equivalent? What grounds would a President have for detaining and removing a predecessor?
Eternal card game has similarities to Magic and Hearthstone, but has more generous rewards and is designed to take advantage of the digital space.
I bet this will be as lucrative as twitch streaming.
Crewed vs uncrewed is a decision made at the very beginning of the planning stages, years ago. These days a crew is just a gigantic extra expense on a mission with little return. Remotely operated missions can achieve all their scientific objectives.
Star Trek: Year Five - four-volume trade paperback (from the comic books)
Outstanding pacing, art, and characterization. Uhura really gets a chance to show her expertise in communications. Several connections to the original series, but they don’t feel like they’re just awkwardly-forced name checks.
I just came here because Reddit torpedoed third-party apps.
I can’t remember if Milo or Binkley said it, but “there are no moral absolutes in a complex world.”
*requires overcoming inertia.
One of the reasons you don’t know Detmer was they made a conscious decision to make a “one main character” show instead of an ensemble show. They were consciously not trying to develop anyone but Burnham, and to a lesser extent Saru, then Stamets.
Where does quality news come from if people aren’t willing to pay for it?
“I can't imagine it would have been good, but boy do I wish I existed in a universe where this movie had been made.” — This is the perfect reaction and I cannot improve on it in any way.
Piggybacking on myself. I can't figure out how to subscribe to one of the other communities. One says to paste "[email protected]" into my instance's serach field, but when I do that, I get a result that says "empty."
What should users understand about finding communities in the fediverse?
I'm missing something.
I've been looking for a college football magazine. When I clicked "Magazines" on my Kbin home and entered football or cfb, nothing came up. Something comes up now, because I made one. But then I saw a link to a web page called "Lemmy Explorer" and when I search there, four or five CFB communities show up.
What's the simplest path for finding communities or magazines based on a keyword and making sure I'm not missing anything?
Bonus question: How does subscription to a magazine affect content I see? So far, I have only tracked down subscribed material by having notifications turn on and following those links?
There are self-appointed moderators over there who browse new and downvote anything that doesn't fit their vision. I was one of them, looking for certain "offenses." For instance if someone posted run-of-the-mill war news in an "interesting" sub, with nothing at all novel or intriguing about it, I would downvote it. So I guess I've got my gates to keep too.
But yeah, I had the same thing happen to me in a couple subs. I posted what I thought was perfectly relevant content, and it would attract a few downvotes right away, and then, usually, climb back up as less-zealous people read it.
I do wonder how new communities will reach critical mass. I don't understand how fediverse searches and tags work yet. How do people discover a new community about cute seals or Toledo or Fortnite?
Do the creators of these communities need to be using tags in a certain way?
Reddit is the big news right now, so that makes sense. It's news even outside of our own circle of technophiles and ex-redditors.
It's up to us to spread things out. A whole bunch of us are just waiting for someone else to take a step. If we take the step ourselves, people will join in, AND new users checking out the platform for the first time will see familiar things that make them feel like they've come to the right place.
A lot of people in these comments sleeping on Prodigy. I think it's very good and would probably put it behind only Strange New Worlds. For me, the start of the season is just meh and feels more Star Wars Kidsy, but the season just grows and grows and has a real heart, real drama, and action.
Well, he's barely had to show up for work so far this season!
Also, seems an odd decision to cast your captain then schedule your show, rather than the other way around. Voyager profited from unexpectedly recasting the captain after shooting began! (And if anyone doesn't know that story, you should look it up... there are videos...)
