There was a post the other day about how Reddit never took anything seriously and how the top comments were always predictable jokes that stopped being funny years ago.

It was nice to have places like Daystrom, Ask Science, etc. that were curated for serious discussion.

That’s okay. It’s good to live in a world where very different people enjoy very different things. I’m glad we can all be part of a social federation and still get along despite our infinite combinations of infinite diversity.

Unfortunately, outside of the meme zone (i.e. !risa@startrek.website) there isn’t a whole lot of engagement anymore. Once the blackout was over, the reddit communities opened back up.

I mean, look at r/DaystromInstitute versus !DaystromInstitute@startrek.website – it’s not pretty.

In an interview during the 90’s, William Shatner told of a story of him being recognized in mid-perfomance by a sword dancer in a small Iranian village. The man stopped dead in his tracks and looked straight at him uttering with utter amazement; “Captain Kirk?!?” That should give us perspective as to how deep and far Star Trek reached people for the last 51 years.

I sorry what you did there

The switcheroo has sadly already begun

A lie to yourself is still a lie.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

If you can handle Ring, you can handle Evil. It’s more of a surreal thriller. You might be pleasantly surprised! There are some horror aspects from time to time, but it isn’t about that. It’s basically “What if X-Files, but Catholics instead of aliens?”

They call it horror. But it’s so much more than that.

They do. Even back in their pre-UEFI days, it was possible to flash BIOS from a properly-formatted USB drive by holding down a magic key combination at power on. But it was not exactly publicized as a supported method.

The sanctions aren’t supposed to cripple China indefinitely. They’re just supposed to give the US enough time to build fabs for military chips before China invades Taiwan.

And yes, I am aware that may not happen within our lifetimes. I did not write the sanctions.

Plenty of humans make those judgements about their own creations. And plenty of them get a shock when they release their creations to the masses and don’t get the praise that they expected.

Ow!
