I agree, and my comment probably ought to have been directed at OP. I just see you around a lot, and while I obviously empathize with your frustration, I think this line of argument is counterproductive.

I feel like people blaming Harris, and those blaming the voters are talking past each other, and it isn’t at all productive. Just like China and the USA can both be bad, it isn’t an either/or situation.

I understand the frustration from both sides, and I’m also angry at all the dipshits who advocated for non-voting or voting third party in the face of obvious fascism, but I’m sick of seeing this same damn slap fight in every post. We should be focusing on the future, not bickering about the past. If we’re going to build a coalition to defeat fascism—which is desperately needed—we can’t spend our energy relitigating electoral failures, and castigating the disaffected.

Yes, Harris was a flawed candidate, running a misguided campaign. Yes, the people who didn’t vote for her are responsible for our current situation. We have to move on to what we’re going to do now.

I’m hoping Academy will be better than I expect, but I don’t disagree with this analysis (stipulating that I’ve yet to watch any of Prodigy). I think most of the high regard for SNW is a result of how dismal DIS and PIC were. I enjoy it, but it’s pretty shallow in comparison with any of the older series. Style over substance, as a rule.

I have to assume this series will be terrible, just in self-defense. I was really bummed out by how bad I thought Discovery was, and I don’t want to be burned like that again.

I got such a kick out of this, thanks be to you!

Whoa, you’re a friend of DeSoto? I heard that guy’s a real pleasure to work for.

There is (or used to be; I haven’t been by there in a while) a restaurant near me called Lettuce Souprise You! Never went there, but the puns have stuck in my head for 30 years. Well done, unknown restaurateurs!

Seriously. Fuck all this generational bullshit. Artificial divides cooked up by ad agencies. Such a waste of time and energy.

See, if Kamala Harris had posted this, she’d have garnered a much better response. On Lemmy, at any rate. This is a far more appropriate tribute to the man’s legacy.

Side note: The Sporkful is best known for its ongoing debate about whether or not a hodog is a sandwich

That’s funny. Never listened to The Sporkful, but I’d have said that this is what Judge John Hodgman is best known for, as well.

Social media was certainly a mistake. And yet, here we are.

I fucking love that show!

I think people in cars would tend to accelerate away from a brick-waving pedestrian, rather than stop. Would be an interesting study, though!

See, if that person that insists on using thorns in all their comments really committed like this, I think they’d get less flak, and more buy-in.

Broke my normal rule of waiting for a 50% discount (or better) and picked up KCD2. I’ve just been mainlining it. It’s a bigger, better version of the first game (which I loved, hence the early purchase), and picks up right where that one left off. No complaints, except maybe that horseshoes are a pain in the ass to forge.

I completely agree with you. I’ve left very similar comments whenever this movie’s come up in the past, and someone always shows up to say “Even King agrees the movie ending’s better!” Well, it’s bullshit.

It does seem like an odd time for a Voyager tie-in game. Reminds me of an upcoming game I saw in my Steam queue the other day that’s based on Mars Attacks!. Flipping Mars Attacks!!? What could be more relevant? Really striking while the iron’s hot with that one.

Anyhow, I hope it does well. I don’t think it’s for me, but I’m all for more Star Trek games. Resurgence is pretty great, imo.

It’s ok, the fight’s being sponsored by crystal skull vodka.

This generational bullshit is all made up by marketing assholes. None of it is legit, it’s all a distraction from the class war we should all be waging.
