  My concern is that if he were to drop dead tomorrow that a large portion of his followers will just say something dumb like he’s gone undercover in an attempt to take over the deep state. And then proceed to add him in as a write in ballot for the next several decades.

  This theory makes too much sense, I love it. One question though why specifically the Yorktown? How do we know it was that specific ship and not any other damaged federation ship?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come decades in the 1900s look fairly well differentiated but from like 2004 on feels like a giant run on?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally speaking I also lived through the 80’s and the 90’s but if you were to ask me to pick out the differences between the aesthetics from two photographs one from 2007 and one from 2017 I’d be hard pressed. If the images were taken on a consumer grade camera I’d probably focus on the differences in image resolution, but other than that I’d probably be hard pressed.

  Now if you were to repeat the experiment with two images from 87 vs 97 oh yeah I’m confident I’d be able to figure out which decade things were from.

  What I’m getting at is I’m not sure how much living through the eras really blunts our ability to perceive the differences between decades. If anything when watching period pieces with actors pretending to be in the 80’s or 90’s I feel like I’m acutely aware of the subtle tells that give away this wasn’t actually filmed in the past.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nope, not visiting that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not like Hawking and Epstein traded a few emails talking about science, or had a one off meeting. It appears they had a fair amount of exchanges over a long period of time.

  Epstein was a vile human in the worst kind of way and I see no evidence that Hawking was blind to this fact. Half the people on this app wouldn’t willingly associate with someone of a different political party than them, but to defend a man who willingly spent time with a convicted sex trafficker? The fact that Hawking was paralyzed doesn’t absolve him from willingly enabling (and potentially partaking in) child abuse and sex trafficking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon visits New York⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well because you asked… It’s fake because if you’re a native New Yorker (or I assume if you’ve lived there long enough) you become numb to the nose and stop hearing it. And probably more importantly, people scream at the top of their lungs in NYC all the damn time, New Yorkers DO. NOT. RESPOND. YOU DO NOT LOOK. YOU IGNORE. Eye contact is a great way to get assaulted by a homeless person who is possibly dealing with psychosis.

  Lastly NO ONE in New York uses the phrase “badda bing badda boom”, that’s some lame Hollywood trope, I’ve literally never heard anyone use it in real life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks about wheat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  To clarify by modern man, I meant a human living in the year 2026 who eats a “modern diet” of (at least partially) processed foods with significantly lower fiber intake than that of a preindustrial man. (Obviously this would be excluding currently living humans who are living in tribal conditions, such as those living in North Sentinel Island.)

  I was not attempting to imply that those living at that time were of a different species than homosapiens. To be honest if they were a different species I’m not sure my comment would have made sense as different homo species would likely have subtle differences in their digestive tracks than homosapiens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks about wheat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean you’ll probably get runny shits from eating it due to the excess fiber, but I’m fairly certain the ancient nomadic tribes who first started eating wheat like that probably had significantly more fiber in their diets than modern man and eating it like that would probably be far less of a shock to their system than us puny fiber weaklings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We always hear/read about Goverments cencoring the internet. What is something that the US is not knowing is being censored?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same, this is literally the first I’ve heard about the natives just “giving up and making way” for the Europeans. I recall being taught about the trail of tears and how we forced them off their land by any means necessary. Then again I grew up in a liberal city on the East Coast so my experiences probably aren’t universal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨plump pumkins⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not an expert in the whole giant pumpkin phenomenon, but it’s my understanding that the pumpkins are generally grown by hobbyists for fun rather than farmers on an industrial scale. So I don’t think it’s a trade-off on our food system, where kids are starving in Africa because farmers are wasting their resources growing pumpkins. I think it’s more of an, “look what I did” type thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek: Legacy — 22-minute recut of 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture' set to Daft Punk's original score for 'Tron: Legacy'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean there are a lot of issues with the TMP, it was an odd script likely because it was written by a man who never really worked in movies prior (only television to my knowledge) and rather than being written from it’s inception as a two hour movie it was also adapted from a pilot of a television series, which all makes it feel kind of klunky with odd pacing.

  That said recutting the movie into a 22 min streamlined version makes a lot of sense to me, no fluff only plot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA on privuhcy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a web developer in a marketing department and agreed UTM tags aren’t really nefarious. We generally use them to track campaigns, and to see the effectiveness of our paid campaigns. (As in how much of a return on investment did we have, are people continuing to traverse the site after hitting the landing page, etc) That said those codes generally don’t give us any info about the user other than what parts of the site you are hitting, (which we can find out through other means anyway). There are tools out there which can give us a creepy amount of data about the users on the site, but UTMs aren’t it.

  Removing them when sending out links is good practice as you probably only really need a fraction of the characters in order to get to the site, so your links are cleaner, you look like less of an idiot, and ironically marketers will end up having cleaner data (I doubt you care about this, but it’s true.)

  That said, if you really want to prevent sites from getting your data when browsing turning off JavaScript in your browser would probably have the biggest impact.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets philosophical⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure I’m completely missing the point, but how on earth did you find yourself in the situation? Like your dick out and blindfolded in a location that virtually anyone can walk into. All of a sudden with little warning you feel something happening down there but you don’t peek or ask what’s up, you just sit there silently and long enough for you to realize you’re getting the best blowjob of your life.

  Honestly the more I describe the scenario the more I realize unless it’s a trusted partner, this is not the type of scenario that most women would immediately just start going to town without reason. So if you are strictly looking for a woman, at very least one of sound mind you are probably SOL.

  It’s funny how quickly Lemmy will get nasty on people for asking the wrong questions.

  Not everyone with a contrary viewpoint is a troll, and some people can actually be won over to your perspective with a friendly conversation.
