Tinder started as a “hook-up” app, if they went back to that kind of marketing I would not find the company quite so reprehensible.
- Comment on Today is June 1st, the start of Pride Month. This scene from "Blood Oath" weighs heavily on my mind. 1 day ago:
FWIW I agree, but I would say imperfect instead, on account of the many trans people I have heard say they related in some ways.

I just watched this episode recently. If Klingons don’t care why should humans?
- Comment on Shout Studios have uploaded What We Left Behind to YouTube. 4 days ago:
For anyone who hasn’t seen this, it is an excellent documentary and well worth it even if DS9 isn’t your favorite.

This is the best thing I’ve read in weeks

Y’all will always blame the woman for the actions of a man.

jesus christ why do some of you people even watch the show
- Comment on Google's new AI video tool floods internet with real-looking clips 1 week ago:
I agree, I really don’t think the concerns about “not being able to tell what’s real” will be a major issue (at least to those who care about knowing what’s real). Social media has been full of human-made slop for years and if someone is getting their sense of reality from social media posts, then that is the problem and AI isn’t going to dramatically change that.
- Comment on Google's new AI video tool floods internet with real-looking clips 1 week ago:
I have a feeling if any of these video generators tried to make a “clip” longer than a couple of seconds they would rapidly become a lot less “real looking”

I visited once and it is really funny how you drive through normal looking suburbs thinking “there is no way we are anywhere near Mintaka III” then suddenly there it is.
- Comment on Neville Page Says ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 1 Klingons Were “A Salty Broth” 2 weeks ago:
This is my not-safe-for-Reddit opinion but I thought the S1 Klingons were great, interesting and impressive.
- Comment on Anon blames millennials 4 weeks ago:
This is so true. Indie games are legitimately better these days. AAA titles can have a good game at their core, but it always feels like you’re fighting with the game itself to enjoy it. From custom launchers and meaningless boring “side quests” and “achievements” to pad them out. Indie games are much better at cutting right to the point of what makes the experience rewarding.
- Comment on Deep Space Nine season 2 appreciation post 4 weeks ago:
I love the moments when it’s demonstrated that Ferengi can be actually very astute when it comes to diplomacy/interplanetary relations… their culture just has a completely different set of values.
- Comment on Deep Space Nine season 2 appreciation post 4 weeks ago:
Yeah it’s certainly not the worst series of episodes and as you implied it does some good world building. It just doesn’t do it for me the same way that “why is everyone treating O’Brien like he’s shady?” does.

Those look like a forbidden snack! I also didn’t know about that book thanks for sharing.

- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 5 weeks ago:
With Mastodon you can migrate your account, Lemmy can’t migrate (yet). But the difference between Fediverse and commercial platforms is that you can access the same network of content from different instances. With Twitter/Reddit etc. everyone is forced onto a single instance (and a single moderation policy).
- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 5 weeks ago:
Lemmy.world is the second largest Lemmy instance, and less than a third of all users. If someone doesn’t like their rules it is trivial for a person to move to an instance who’s ruleset better aligns with their wishes.
- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 5 weeks ago:
It’s entirely possible in the future, since ActivityPub accounts can be “forwarded”. It’s a little clunky but look at Mastodon.
- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 5 weeks ago:
The fact that this is being upvoted so much I think demonstrates a big misunderstanding of how the fediverse works.
Nobody owns Lemmy and if a instance does something shitty it costs hardly anything to change instances. Nobody owns the lemmy software, and other softwares like mbin/piefed exist too with the same content.
- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 5 weeks ago:
There is only one Twitter whereas anyone can start “a Lemmy”.
- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 5 weeks ago:
It would be weird if a Lemmy instance tried to make itself addictive. Like congrats your users request way more content and it costs 10x more to operate now yay

- Comment on I want to see Vulcan fail 1 month ago:
Sarek felt that he could have demonstrated more affection towards his human wife in a way that was meaningful to her. That is not the same thing as saying that Vulcan culture is unaffectionate.
- Comment on I want to see Vulcan fail 1 month ago:
OP is referring to Vulcan culture. Sarek’s displays of affection would probably not be considered “restrained” in a Vulcan-Vulcan relationship.
