Welcome to the family <3

I was never a huge fan of the idea of a federated internet but after engaging for it the past couple of years, I absolutely fucking hate it. Federation didn’t lose me to Bsky so much as hurl me as fast as humanly possible.

Keep in mind this point of view is framed especially by multiple personal experiences of extremely petty, vindictive and pathetic admins of other instances who went FUCKING INSANE trying to purge me from the federation, as well as a handful of trolls that abused certain instances lack of admin to harass me or other mods. Then there’s how active I am in talking to admins of multiple other instances of lemmy and of Mastodon and hearing the shit they put up with and the shit they do…

I haven’t had the best of experiences.

<3 Hey buddy

The real Paul Stamets is an anti-union man.

I literally could not care less what he thinks or how he feels. When he has an ounce of compassion, then maybe I’ll give a shit.

1. The amount that executives get paid (Especially when connected to efficiency levels) says you are dead wrong. They do get to keep the profit. High the profit margins, the higher their bonuses, the higher their salaries when renegotiating.

2. The board only gets their information from who, exactly? The executives. Who run the business day to day and who actually have more of a vested interest than the board. The board of directors doesn’t magically aquire this data. They get it from the executives who are hired with the sole purpose of running that business in the best possible way to maximize profit and revenue for the board.

You wrote a good general description but you completely missed my point.

And it’s such a joy. There are very few things in life that make me as giddy as seeing a dog look at something bizarre, look back at you and then raise a fucking eyebrow.

Slight correction but TOS didn’t have the first interracial kiss. A very, very early one, but not the first.

Not that it makes the kiss mean any less, just a clarification for future reference. So many people are assholes and I’ve seen them use that oft made mistake to try and discredit everything else someone says.

That’s the thing. They’ve proven that it’s profitable now. They’ve shown in countless different sectors that slashing jobs and replacing them with AI has been profitable. They’ve never done it at the executive level because they’d be voting in their own redundancy. They, unlike 99% of those other sectors, actually get to have a say in what happens here. Why would they ever willingly kill their own jobs? They’ll slash everyone elses first to raise their profits as much as humanly possible. I genuinely don’t see that ever changing unless some Delamain type shit happening where the AI gains enough ability to forcibly takeover the company without anyone ever noticing.

Yeah, that’s my guess. He did quote the Communist Manifesto

Cool.

In what capacity does that apply to my protesting Lemmy.world’s frankly idiotic stance of blocking discussion of jury nullification?

Alright, that got a fucking lol out of me. Hard.

No no, I’m cheering the killing.

1. If Jury Nullification is legal and allowed, then frankly covering that exact thing up is an abomination and y’all should be utterly ashamed of yourselves. Since when is Lemmy in the habit of backing an establishment while not allowing people involved to know the full picture? Genuinely shameful and disgusting behavior.

2. Yeah, I’m not going to ever remove anything from my communities relating to that or to the violence against the CEO. There is no difference between Brian Thompson and any other mass murderer on the planet. Are you asking me to protect Hitler or Pol Pot as well from criticisim and glee over their death? No? Then I am sure as fuck not going to do it for this guy.

So glad we didn’t get this ugly garbage heap

That I doubt lol

I mean it makes sense, right?

Oh god how did I forget to write a tweet about her…

And then when they do make a serialized show instead of an episodic one everyone complains about people being moody due to the trauma established previously ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Of course there was no response. Because there are no examples. It’s just a dog whistle for bigots.

This again is one of those complaints thats constantly parroted but just isn’t rooted in the reality of the show. It’s not factually accurate by even the largest stretch of the imagination.

1. The mutiny at the start in the first episode. She is proven immediately false and that her actions of firing first would have caused a war with all the Klingons warping in just to see Starfleet fire first.

2. She (along with Lorca and a few others) make the mistake of trusting Ash Tyler. Something that isn’t fully shared. Saru has apprehensions until the divide has been made and even then is cautious.

3. She keeps trying to keep to Federation Ideals while in the Mirror Universe and is proven repeatedly wrong that they don’t apply. She might be able to apply them to herself but no one else from that world and it ends up with her nearly broken from it.

4. She spends most of the episodes she’s with Spock just outright ignoring him and going on her own path of what she thinks is right. During the Talos IV episode Spock even in a state of catastrophic mental instability is even annoyed by her arrogance at thinking she’s right when she’s not. Episode also shows her basically arguing with the Talosians and Spock having to say “Just fucking do it.”

5. She brings Georgiou back from the Terran Universe and in doing so a planet is almost rendered uninhabitable.

6. She refuses to kill Ariam, insisting that she can save her anyway. She ignores orders and in doing so almost allows Control to complete its mission and kill Burnham and everyone else on board. If it wasn’t for Nhan, all sentient life would be dead.

7. Throughout Season 2 she is constantly misunderestimating Control and how they can get rid of it. She’s often just as onboard with everyone elses wrong notions as she is wrong on her own. She often goes along with the ideas of how to trap it or stop the sphere but is consistently proven incorrect.

8. As mentioned previously, she constantly shoulders all burdens and pushes through them like they are her own. She is proven incorrect there repeatedly too.

And those are just the ones I can think of off hand from the first two seasons. If I actually looked back at episode synopsis and jogged memory I’d find far, far more. A significant portion of her character is constantly being wrong and learning from those mistakes.

You can not like the show all you want. Not trying to convince anyone to like the show. I’m just tired of seeing complaints that just aren’t based in what the show does or what happens in it.
