6·19 days agoLoops finally seems usable now. I tried the beta a while back and it was kinda “Meh” but it’s improved significantly since. And you can browse on the website now, too. I’m not into short form videos, but credit where it’s due.
Well, I do like short form videos, but I hate panning for the gems and just let my friends send me the ones that rise to top.
I feel ya. The anti-US xenophobia has really been rising here lately and I’ve just been blocking and blocking and blocking. I’m fine and on board with criticizing what the current regime is doing, but the way they lump you (presumably?), me, and everyone together as if we all have cabinet level positions and personally signed off on each and every thing in the news is just straight-up ignorant xenophobia.
Why that gets a pass is beyond me. Moderation failures all around, IMO.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Fediverse Challenge: Prove there's still good in the worldEnglish
9·30 days agoYeah, to pretty much all that.
My experience here is generally pretty pleasant, but it took a LOT of work blocking untold numbers of communities, users, and instances to get here. Other on-boarding difficulties aside (for less savvy users), it’s just a big ask to expect them to do all that work just to not be hit in the face with all the negativity and raging and dig deep for everything else. Reddit may have numerous flaws, but at least I can go to the front page and it doesn’t feel like I’m walking into the midst of an angry mob.
My two cents is basically this: We did this to ourselves here. Elsewhere, we might have blamed the algorithms for pushing rage-bait front and center, but here it’s 100% organic (unless there’s just a massive bot problem which I don’t have reason to suspect).

4·30 days agoI only say there needs to be less because that’s all that seems to get pushed to the top. Ever since I saw the few posts asking how to get new users here, I’ve been trying to put myself in their shoes and look at things raw and unfiltered like a brand new user would see. Sadly, now that I’ve looked, I can’t un-see.
The rest of us just need to get on their level with all our other hobbies and interests.
100% agree :) But those don’t seem to get the rage clicks like all the bad news stuff and get buried even on scaled sort.
there aren’t other NWSL/MLS fans out here, but could you please stop doing drive-bys and downvoting all my articles?
I don’t know what either of those are, but I just went and threw some upvotes to some of your stuff because it was non-political / non-news. And one of them was highly downvoted for reasons I cannot possibly fathom.

Like, wow. None of what I said has anything to do with that. This is the kind of jumping to insane conclusions, putting words in peoples’ mouths shit that turns people away.

2·1 month agoThe only reason I haven’t printed one yet is because I just cannot get a coat of paint to look good on PLA. Someone suggested acrylic paint, so I bought a set, and it just doesn’t look good no matter how many coats I apply.
Though this is big enough I might be able to get by with a can of spray paint.

And Worf tells this highly embellished story of honor and victory, everyone reacts in awe, and he folds.

3·1 month agoRight? I feel like it would be a high quality, low budget, low stress series. No CGI, minimal costume and make up, the writers may just have to give them some in-character stuff to work into their otherwise ad-libbed banter. The cast’s age wouldn’t be a concern since they’d be comfortably seated the whole time.
The framing device could be that after PIC S3, they decide to meet up for a weekly game of poker and we’re just spectators to it.
It could work 😆

They’re separate queens and separate collectives/cooperatives.
The Jurati Cooperative is, as of the end of Season 2, guarding the spatial anomaly that formed in the beginning of S2. They’re completely absent from the third season. Which I can understand since S3 was a fan-service reunion (which I loved) and there just wasn’t room in the 10 episodes for them.
The queen from S3 is the same one from VOY: Endgame and First Contact and part of the same collective since they were first introduced in TNG.
AFIAK, no, they had no effect on each other. The alternate timeline queen (that turned into Queen Jurati) was not the same queen seen in S3 or elsewhere. That queen was from a 2401 that no longer exists. She and her cooperative only exist because they went back in time and took the long way back to 2401.
