Cell to Singularity, 6500 hours and counting. In fairness, I don’t actively play it most of the time it just runs in the background churning away.

No it is not, get rid of it and don’t attempt to charge it.

Never happens.

This is already rapidly becoming a thing, the younger generations are far more open about their sexuality than any that preceded them.

It’s definitely not a new phenomenon, but exacerbated by the media and COVID-19 just seemed to bring out the very worst in the worst people. Witnessed selfish brats in society my whole life, and I wish I could say it’s improved but it hasn’t. People forget we live in a society and should work together.

Reddit was big before the Digg migration and got bigger still. It didn’t happen overnight, it took many years. Reddit also benefited from celebrities and other influencers using it to become the default site for this type of content. Lemmy’s problem is there’s no void to fill, Reddit took a hit from the API fiasco but it’s still going strong because 99% of the users didn’t care, or returned soon after. Every subreddit I was in that chose to close down has returned to normal operation, and it’s not even 2 months later.

I like Lemmy, I’m going to keep coming here to see how it grows. Right now, it’s not even close to being a Reddit alternative. It’s barely hanging on, but I wish it the best.

I’ve always read them in published order personally, books tend to reference earlier novels in the series and a lot of little in jokes appear as the series progresses.

The first 2 novels have a slightly different “feel” to the others, then he settles into a style that continues to the end.

For sure, it’s one of the greatest fantasy series ever written.

Watch Picard Season 3, it’s probably the best Trek I’ve seen since Deep Space Nine’s final two seasons.

No, it’s like a love note to TOS. All of the Treks that followed were a bit more serious in tone, which is fine and dandy, but The Orville captures the spirit of the original series very well. Strange New Worlds is somewhat similar to the original series in tone, but doesn’t have that 60s campy feel.

None of the Bond movies are serious, they’re all clearly campy and fun movies. Timothy Dalton is the closest to the Bond of the novels.

The Orville had some genuinely good episodes that told a great message.

I pulled out of my parking lot at work, blinked, and suddenly found myself half way home with no memory of how I got there. I was so freaked out I pulled over to check my car for damage (there wasn’t any). My route home involved a highway and several stop signs and lights at very busy junctions, goodness knows if I stopped for any of them. Drove very carefully the rest of the way home and swore never to drive tired again. I’d just pulled a 14 hour shift, and had a newborn at home so wasn’t getting much sleep to begin with.

I auditioned for Millionaire once and was selected, but they wanted me to pay my own way to New York and I’d only be refunded if I was picked. Was poor at the time (ironically) so didn’t go. I think it would have been fun, I’m not a genius by any means but I know a lot of useless trivia so think I may have made a few bucks. Nice part about that show is it’s you against yourself, Jeopardy also sounds like fun but I’d be competing against people smarter than me I expect.

Religious: I grew up in a deeply religious household, my parents are still very religious and they consider that the cornerstone of their lives. No judgement here, they are great people and I’ve never once seen them use their religion to hurt others. For me, I appreciate the moral lessons I learned in that church and I think it made me a more empathetic person. I just have no particular need for a religion to be a good person. Stopped following any religion in my early 20s.

Social and political: See also 1. Being bullied as a kid made me have a deep rooted hatred for people who harm others, which means I tend to champion oppressed people now. Honestly, however, this should be a normal human thing to do. Beyond that, I tend to have a “live and let live” attitude towards most things so long as you’re not bothering anyone else. I guess that makes me one of those snowflake liberals that are destroying America?

I just call it the “I stopped caring about that site a long time ago” site.

Some of the larger subreddits shut down or turned into a John Oliver meme, one niche one I enjoyed is gone, the rest seem to be back to business as usual. At the moment? I’d say not much has changed.

Who cares, though? This isn’t reddit, let’s stop focusing on that and focus on Lemmy.

Homophobia was more common in 2003 but hadn’t be socially acceptable for about a decade before that. Transphobia I’ll give you.

Nice, but the editing made me nauseous.
