do you really think that, with the mountain of shit Putin is wading through, he has the time and resources to deal with Trump? And for what?
not a bad list. Bride of Chaotica! was about as hammy as hammy gets, and it was hilarious, mostly because of how serious Kate Mulgrew’s Janeway was. I love that episode!
TOS was pretty goofy— ya know, when it wasn’t pure sci-fi horror. it was also gruesome and scary as shit sometimes! SNW does a good job of capturing the goofy tone specific to TOS, although Trek has always had a pretty goofy streak. You can easily find it in every series!
willingly and knowingly breaking the law is a crime, regardless of if you agree with the law.
even our founding fathers said that unjust laws shouldn’t be followed… and here you are, commenting all over this post about how much you disagree with this legal ruling… it seems you’re only happy when it’s laws you happen to like.
but thc concentrate and opiate derivatives should be illegal.
why? because you personally don’t like them?
even hard alcohol should be regulated.
it has been for over a century. you know what has, consistently, decreased the consumption of alcohol (and opiates, btw), specially in minors? Legalizing cannabis… in all forms. It’s even caused a drop in use of cannabis in minors due to regulation and education in places where it’s been legalized.
when you make something illegal, it doesn’t stop people from using it. it just pushes it onto the black market where impure versions are distributed without care or concern for who buys it. and that’s dangerous.
not according to the law. it’s uncommon for those convicted of murder to get life sentences. a life sentence is only available in almost all states for First degree and Second degree murder cases when aggravating circumstances were involved and when a plea-bargain wasn’t reached (rare), and most muted cases, themselves aren’t first-degree murder anyway.
most people convicted of murder serve between 20-40 years.
it’s called Justice.
no, that’s vengeance, and that is not justice.
cool, thanks!
I’d offer some suggestions re: adding search and sort, but I’m not familiar with the api (and I’m about to go to bed), but best of luck!
I hadn’t really considered that, however I could see a convincing argument being made for that… such as:
people are incarcerated not only as a punitive measure (which I disagree with; prison should be rehabilitative and to serve to protect society form dangerous criminals, not simply to punish). doing incarceration, certain rights are severely curtailed to this end, but what purpose does it serve to suspend the right to vote other to disenfranchise what are primarily people of color? when this result is highlighted (ad the majority of this who advocate for this right to be withheld also happen to hate PoC) the dots are easy to connect.
~~how tf is it missing the #2 lemmy instance but somehow has every other one? also, so search, so sort…~~
~~not to mention, there’s no link to the site here~~
edit: these are fixed!
good start!
well… it’s not a good strategy if you’re lying your ass off, it happens to be true, AND you conspired with your lawyers to commit the crime you’re accused of.
now, Jack Smith (and every reasonable person on earth, the more clever dolphins, cetaceans, chimps, corvidae, octopods, and a couple of transdimentional mice) knows this is the case, so this is definitely a terrible strategy. It’s also patently Trump to blame anyone else for his own actions but himself. Predictable, even.
it’s not a matter of what you or I want; it’s a matter of justice, of what’s fair and what’s right.
murder? yeah you lost your rights to vote, deal with it.
and why should they? they’ve paid their debt to society.
oh, I know— it’s the last ass-fucking on the prison pipeline— and why it’s so important that people who have paid their debt to society get their lives back afterward.
Hi, Mlem App Community.
As many of you have probably already seen, our founder David has left the project. We wanted to take a moment to address this news and any concerns it may cause within our community.
First and foremost, we want to make it unequivocally clear that we harbor no resentment or hard feelings towards David. We understand that he made this choice for his own well-being and support him for it. He was a joy to work with, and without his leadership or vision the Mlem app would not be what it is today or what it will be tomorrow. David, if you're reading this: we thank you, and wish you all the best.
Development of Mlem will continue. All of us still on the the team remain as engaged and passionate as we were yesterday and continue to work tirelessly to bring you the best Lemmy experience we can. It is no secret, however, that this news was as much of a surprise to us as it was to you all, and it has introduced a couple of hitches in the short term. The GitHub repository where we store our code has been passed to another member of the team, but the App Store app could not be transferred so easily. We will be rebranding our App Store name to "Mlem for Lemmy"; the app will still appear as "Mlem" on your homescreen. As David mentioned, the current TestFlight beta has ended, and we will provide a link to a new one ASAP. The timing of that depends on Apple more than anything, so we cannot provide a concrete timeframe just yet. We'll keep you posted with links here in this community.
We thank you for your patience, your understanding, and all of your support.
-- The Mlem App Team
“Bermaga”-era Trek, as I like to call it, had a lot of warmth, too, but it was certainly more serious. they really tried to formalize Trek much more, especially with the lore and the tech. It did come off as stiff a lot of the time, but it had its own goofy moments, too. It was certainly different in tone, though, especially DS9, which was pretty dark in its portrayal of Trek at the edges of and sometime outside of the Federation. The whole idea, though, was to portray a much more mature Federation and Starfleet, and I think they did a good job of that.
It’s also what PIC S1 and S2 missed— the human connections, the warmth, that were present in the Bermaga-era Trek shows. That, and the good writing, directing, and acting. The characters weren’t believable and Trek was presented as some action series set in a dystopian future that certainly seemed alien to Trek viewers. No wonder everyone hated it. It’s also why S3 was such a hit: it was a return to everything that made 90s-era Trek great: excelled, character-driven storylines with clever tech problems that everyone had to work together to fix using science and cleverness.
I love how SNW has hit its stride this season, has broken out of the DSC formula, and is hitting all the right notes (no pun intended).
