Jean-Luc Picard is entirely too classy to snore.

I think you’re misunderstanding octopus_ink’s comment. Are you thinking octopus_ink is a 4chan refugee? I think they’re just a Lemmy user hoping we don’t get flooded with 4chan assholes.

- Comment on Dont worry about your retirement plan, simpsons never fail 2 weeks ago:
But the title of the article is “Did ‘The Simpsons’ Predict President Trump’s Death”. And it’s rated “false”. If The Simpsons did predict his death, just not as indicated by the specific image mentioned in the article, surely that would be mentioned and the overall rating would be something like “mixture” rather than “false”.
I suppose unless The Simpsons predicted his death in an episode released after that Snopes article was written. In which case, fair point.

Everyone, quick! Go watch a british TV show.
I recommend Red Dwarf. For something more current, Ludwig is great.

This isn’t intuitive to people?
2/sqrt(2) = ( sqrt(2)*sqrt(2) ) / sqrt(2)Then cancelling out one of the
sqrt(2)s in numerator with thesqrt(2)in the denominator, you’re left withsqrt(2).I do a lot of toodling around OpenSCAD, though, and
sqrt(2)tends to come up a lot because, you know, Pythagoras and right triangles and all that. - Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 4 weeks ago:
Probably if you’re too lazy to grab a cord, line it up with the plug, and press gently but firmly. With wireless, you can just lob it vaguely in the right vicinity and not overstrain your fine motor skills.

- Comment on what is psychological definition of an ideal or good family? 5 weeks ago:
what if you don’t have kids?
That’s why I said “at least a little bit related to what you’re looking for” rather than “exactly what you want.” The “Good Enough Parenting” thing is more focused on raising kids. Beyond that, I’m not sure I can help.
- Comment on what is psychological definition of an ideal or good family? 5 weeks ago:
Winnocott’s term “Good Enough Parenting” may be at least a little bit related to what you’re looking for.
I suppose other options could be along the lines of “read these 30 dense psychology books or get a degree in psychology.”
Unfortunately, I don’t think I have much better answers for you, but I’d be interested to hear a succinct answer to this too.
- Comment on Where to find help for a game name 5 weeks ago:
Lessee. Username’s a reference to Snow Crash, which is a cyberpunk book. Played the game “years ago”. The game must have a name not so connected to the content that OP would have already remembered the name before posting.
I’m going to guess Shadowrun for the SNES.

Honey, there hasn’t been an ounce of “normal” anywhere since at least 2021.
- Comment on Paramount Posts $286M Fourth Quarter Streaming Loss, Gains 5.6M Subs 1 month ago:
Yeah, but Star Trek, though. That’s a “killer feature” for a lot of people.
Paramount+ doesn’t work for shit, though. They keep inventing new and different ways to break. Even if you’re really into the content they provide, they’re so hard to work with and keep working consistently. Not like Netflix or Prime Video or Disney+ or whatever. (Hulu is… pretty janky as well. But anyway.)
- Comment on Which shows are worth watching? 1 month ago:
Whoever gave you that advice has sound judgement and good taste.
I’d say start with TNG. DS9 is probably objectively “the best”, but I think TNG is a better “entry point” if that makes sense? I think if I’d started with DS9 before watching TNG, I’d start wishing not too far into DS9 that I’d seen TNG already. Voyager gets some flack, but it’s what I have the most nostalgia for.
After Voyager, I think most of the shows are either “for the fans” (and contain tons of references that only established “fans” are going to get) or… kindof a pale imitation. If you really into Star Trek and run out of TNG, DS9, and Voyager to watch, by all means go on. (I’d probably do TOS next, honestly.) Discovery and Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks are great! But a lot of their charm (Discovery’s yet-another-fuck-up-of-Klingons notwithstanding) is about how they tie in to and reference the other shows more so than how they stand on their own.
Enterprise was… not my favorite. It was nice that it answered some questions other series left open, but they spent a lot of the show trying their hardest not to be Star Trek in ways that I say detracted from the experience. I’d say watch it before you watch Lower Decks, but aside from that, I don’t think it’s really worth watching unless you’re that level of fan already.
Oh, and the movies are amazing. Honestly, it might be good to watch the TOS cast movies before moving on from TNG to DS9. My favorite of all the Star Trek movies (and it’s not an TOS cast movie) is First Contact.
So, I guess if I were to recommend an order:
- TNG
- All the movies in release order, though the Chris Pine movies are optional at this point. I’d also skip Section 31 until later.
- DS9
- Voyager
- TOS
- Discovery
- Section 31
- Brave New Worlds
- Enterprise
- Lower Decks
- The Chris Pine movies if you’re still in the mood
- The Animated Series
- Then start watching non-official/non-canon stuff like Star Trek Renegades and Star Trek Continues
Anywhere in that progression that you decide to stop, I’d say you’ll have gotten the most impact you could have gotten from the portion you’ve already watched.
But of course, that’s just my take! The other opinions in this thread are all valid as well!
- Comment on how could i talk to someone about them being aggressive without invalidating them but also without enabling/downplaying it? 2 months ago:
First off, be careful. Make sure you aren’t putting yourself in danger. Don’t talk to them. Talk to someone who can do something to protect you. HR if it’s a work thing or the police if it rises to that level. If in doubt, err on the side of caution. If something like HR or police aren’t an option, ghost them.
I hesitate to even go on. So let me reiterate. Aggressiveness is the kind of red flag you don’t want to take lightly.
All that said, if none of the above helps; if you’re talking about something other than fear for your personal safety (and again, please don’t let denial blind you here), then: don’t talk about their behavior. Talk about how you feel. Say that you feel nervous/on edge/scared when they behave in whatever way you’re alluding to.

Why do people say more people didn’t vote for Trump than did?
Because more people didn’t vote for Trump than did.
Trump got more of the popular vote in the U.S. in 2024 than any other candidate did, but he still didn’t get 50% of the vote. He got like 49.80% of the popular vote. And that isn’t even considering those who didn’t vote.

Don’t you agree that the statement this “question” is rhetorically making is false?
“Is a question?” is a question?
