i think .ml had the same problem too.

I wonder if reparations are possible in Canada

i love all the fan service in lower decks; i get a new trek story plus multiple mini-trips down memory lane with every episode.

you joke, but in earlier days (circa 2002) it took my imac g3 5 days to compile the gentoo distro kernel; after day 3 i started to wonder if i was compiling the universe. lol

I think the show runner was saying they’re from a different sect of Klingons at first and then they backpedaled as hard as they could almost immediately. Lol

also can confirm; am autistic

i want a world with himbos as far as the eye can see!

being alive to see the controversy first hand when they first redid the klingons after the first movie and again after discovery has taught me to smile at fan controversies. lol

the reason why we have this mess is because the states get to make up whatever rules they want around voting so long as they never officially block you from voting. doing so would force the federal government to step in, so the red & purple states are careful not to poke that bear and instead focus their voter suppression efforts on the aspects of voting that previous court cases had decided that federal government has no say: like registration.

biden won because most of the battleground states managed to make registration & voting easier; like the example you shared (except mn is not a battleground state); and they’ve all since then repealed that easier access.

the sound bites you hear about voting are intentionally misleading: you have to show up with an id to vote here too and that’s not where to controversy lies; but the soundbites are setup to make it sound like it is to engender the reaction you’ve shared.

the controversy is registering to vote; not voting; and the conservative states intentionally make registering as heavily bureaucratic as possible in the hopes of minimizing the number of people who can successfully finish to process of registration.

they’ve also dedicated hundreds of millions on dollars to understand and enact policies to keep the poor and minority groups from voting.

usually democrats sit back and let republicans openly do it, but sometimes democrats do it themselves; the democratic governor of california just made automatic voter registration illegal; just as the conservative states do.

I always loved the end of Star Trek VI.

the last scene just as the view screen w sulu and the excelsior crew shut off and the camera switches the enterprise crew at their stations plus the empty station that sulu would have been in if he were still on the enterprise does it for me and when kirk orders “second star to the right and straight on 'till morning” gives me goosebumps every single time.

linux, vegans, leftists, etc.; doesn’t matter if they’re right, just fuck 'em. lol

I just feel like such a loser in general and I really hate the fact I am autistic which is 100% why this keeps happening.

That is the reason why it keeps happening and the only thing you can do about it to only associate with people that treat you with respect.

Making a change that ensures a respectful equilibrium will both ensure that you’re treated with respect and allow for THOROUGHLY clueless people to try to help you.

Not that the neurotypicals know any better; it’s just that you fit into a mold that they’re familiar with and they will forever cast you in that mold; so long as you’re willing to only accept help from neurotypicals.

BE WARNED!!!: non-neurotypicals are THOROUGHLY more clueless about the world than anyone else; including neurotypicals.

school holidays are rhe worst for us as parents tend to avoid us.

i regret the way i behaved as a kid when i learned about the stigma attached to befriending the shortbus kids and the memories of doing it to people who are just like me are going to haunt me for the rest of my life; the people who aren’t automatically bigoted like this are gods among people.

i was diagnosed recently (i’m middle aged) and i’ve since learned that people on the spectrum get along better with other people also on the spectrum.

when i learned both of this; it reminded of me of my childhood and how other children who existed on the non-communicative portions of the spectrum gravitated towards me despite me never trying to form a relationship with them. in all of these cases the parents of the child pushed school guardians and took action themselves to keep their children away from me and the only reason i ever heard was that they were afraid that their child was going to be hurt because i could never understand what it was like to live on the spectrum.

if you want your child to have friends and you can see that he gravitates towards another child who seems neuro-typical: encourage it through that child’s parents. also: if they’re anything like my parents; they would have been insulted at the suggestion that i was on the spectrum and banned me from ever associating with your child, so don’t mention that that’s the reason why you’re doing it.

i think it’s clear that the only was you can survive sanctions is to have a military, population, and economy large enough to (poorly) survive it (eg russia & china).

if that’s true, then no one else on the planet has a chance as evidenced by cuba and now venezuela.

this one might be more fun

i don’t doubt that it’s erased; it’s merely astounding to me that something that existed so recent that it’s in living memory (the 1970’s) is still forgotten/erased somehow.

What was perhaps most shocking about homosexuality in the Old West was not that it was so common but that it wasn’t a big deal.

this has been true several times in the last century or 2; but somehow we collectively keep forgetting about it.
