Aeronmelon is right about Sisko, and Janeway was forced into a desperate survival situation while still doing her best to maintain the ideals of the Federation.

In the famous words of wikipedia: citation needed.

There's almost 7 million articles on Wikipedia, it would be very helpful if you linked to the article with this information.

If I'm generally our and about, phone, wallet, keys, phone charging cable, a pen, anything else I need can be acquired as I need it.

It's also functionally ECD is my backpack, mainly because I use it to carry my laptop with me wherever I'm likely to need it, like work, or class, or to carry a bunch of stuff like MtG decks for an MtG event, or clothes if I'm spending a night at a friend's house.

I live in the US and its very car centric here. It's rare that I'm ever more than a few minutes away from a source of water or food, I keep an umbrella in my car, it has AC to keep me cool, if it's chilly out I wear a jacket.

Nothing more, nothing less.

This is a pretty reasonable take on the death penalty, one I actually pretty closely align with, even with as much as I don't like it. It needs to be the absolute last resort for only the most heinous and indefensible of crimes.

For me, even just making the switch from Reddit to Lemmy has done quite a lot for mental health and really helped reshape my social media diet into something much better.

On Lemmy I encounter a lot fewer true assholes on the platform (theres still snark and sarcasm and inside jokes, but I liked that aspect of reddit), it's a lot slower of stream of content, the posts take longer to change so I don't get stuck in an infinite scroll of perpetually new content, and I've rebalanced where I'm spending my time online, more informational and wholesome side of youtube and a discord community that I found that I really like.

But yeah even taking a break from these every so often is still a good idea.

Yes.

Lemmy has gotten quite a bit bigger since the Reddit API fiasco about a year ago, a lot of people who left reddit for lemmy tended fairly progressive/left leaning, seeing the writing on the wall and how enshitification was going to get so much worse as reddit was preparing for its IPO. These are the kinds of people that various special interest groups want to discourage voting. I mean most of the subreddits I was a part of devolved into awful botspam as mlre and more people left, and reddit really only exists for weirdo right wingers, and even the porn subreddits really degraded in quality or were just shuttered for being unmoderated.

Even though this lemmy instance is a global site with users from all over the world, users from the US still likely makes up a signification population here, and by extension, makes this instance a big target for election propaganda trying to dissuade the generally progressive potential voters here from voting by reminding us how bad genocide Joe is for slow rolling weapons to Israel or how he's forgotten about Ukraine because its not still in the headlines or some other propaganda.

I was paraphrasing but yeah. Nothing will surprise you if you know how your enemy operates.

Unfortunately US Billionaires have a lot of societal impact outside of the US. They don't care about the arbitrary borders that bound us plebians, they have enough money that the borders functionally don't exist.

While more progressive people have recognized the pointlessness of gendering military service and playing football, conservatives haven't and its something we can use to our advantage. Like the entire calling them weird thing. It's literally the kind of insult a 5 year old would come up with but they're absolutely blowing gaskets over it and it's hilarious.

Know your enemy and you'll have the advantage.

The video is an explanation, none of us want to regurgitate multiple 30-45 minute videos that already explain exactly what your asking.

I think the Aramaic spoken at the time would have been pronounced closer to Yeshua or Yeshu.

The sentiment still stands dude was pretty chill, except that one time he fliped the tables of the money changers and hucksters turning a house of worship into a house of commerce. Still pretty based of him.
