Nah man. Portals don’t have hyper competent, 11D aliens that are actually a bit entitled. Do portals let you just erase your enemies?

Unless you subscribe to the theory that it was just Sisko using 3% of his real power and glared the Jem’Hadar or of existence, in which case the wormhole was incidental.

I protest this meme, the coconut tree speech was the only genuinely interesting words I’ve ever heard come out of her mouth.

That’s the thing though. For supposed socialists, not supporting genocide or opposing a seller colonial entity aren’t purity tests. It’s practically calling the presence of hemoglobin in red blood cells a purity test.

Biggest reason, I can still use Boost after the api shit. If I were forced to use a browser or shudder the official app, I wouldn’t even consider it.

Most of my scrolling I do here, my Reddit use had become more specific even before I became more active on the 'grad. I don’t use twitter or any other social media, so Reddit is my only source of news on the series and mangas I follow.

For my part I don’t use the wider Lemmy either. I’ve got 2 subscriptions from hexbear and that’s it. Other instances feel like knock-off Reddit so I don’t browse them for the same reasons I haven’t browsed r/all in years.

Megatron needed some time alone to think, so he left New York City and attacked Israel all on his own.

Wow. Pre-adolescent me had some decent ideas. All hail Megatron indeed.

Despite decrying liberal democratic elections and their meaninglessness, the fr*nch and ukian elections put me back on the election “analysis” mindset. I feel compelled to respond to the OP from reddit.world. Is it true that higher turnout simply means democrats win?

2012: 58.6% turnout, Obama wins
2016: 60.1% turnout, Trump wins
2020: 66.6% turnout, Biden wins

The issue with truisms is that they usually aren’t true. When someone says “the average age of fox news viewers is 67” they imply these people will basically die by the next decade, but leave it the fact that this average isn’t going up by 4 every election cycle.

Also it’s a unique fun to see lemmitors fight by calling each other out on how much of a redditor each other are.

The comparison is layered and not as simple as the two being the same. But I’ve found that people have a way of closing themselves off to things that are going on. On hexbear, if you don’t read the comments of a post about comments that have been deemed a struggle session, you may have no clue even if you saw parts of the original. IRL, if you aren’t part of the drama that’s going on, don’t hang out with the gossipy (not saying this as an insult) types and don’t ask the sort of questions that inquire about drama, you won’t find out.

I’ll posit that you’re probably a more central or more present part of your organisation than most people saying “this doesn’t happen irl” are of theirs.

All this needs is to make the indigenous person a golden eagle, may not be such a direct relation to the supposed ancient ancestors but certainly more of a descendant than a lizard.

I hope the Tories don’t stop coming up with policies just because they’ve been relegated to the shadow cabinet, otherwise sir Keir might not know what to do and accidentally enact something half decent once a year.
