Piper’s #2 and 1/2 of her #1
For short haul flights where a train is preferable, or private iets, absolutely. However airplanes are still the most efficient way to travel long distances. Abolishing airplanes altogether is one of the least thought out takes I’ve ever heard.
Never thought I’d see the day, someone admitting they were wrong online. Take some imaginary gold.
Saw it last night in IMAX. There were no parts that dragged. It did not feel like 3 hours and was very engaging the whole time. I’m still reflecting on it. Go see it if you can in IMAX
I would say it is poorly managed for the fact that their rules and community standards are not clearly outlined. They ban for reasons not listed in their rules. For a community this large, there needs to be some sort of outlined expectations. It’s fairly apparent they are more interested in moderating the subreddit and this Lemmy community is downstream of that in their minds. Expecting us to just magically know the subreddit standards without being listed out is textbook bad management.
Unless that discussion violates mod opinion
The com at the time was dominated by discussion of the Prodigy cancellation, so it was a relevant topic and not being overly critical for the sake of being overly critical. It presented an opinion of the cancelation that wasnt predicting doom and gloom for the franchise like the mod line being pushed at the time.
Even if it isn’t substantial, why isn’t there a list of blocked domains? Or a rule about it? It could have spurred a discussion in the comments, what makes a community forum like this so special. The point is it didn’t violate any community standards. Then when I tried to open a discussion about it to try and refine the rules/community standards moving forward (early days of reddit emigration) I was permabanned for starting drama.
I’m not looking for a com where everyone is super critical. I am looking for one where mods are acting as petty little tyrants banning well meaning contributors because they don’t have the exact same opinion on certain things as they do.
The mods are more interested in the reddit community and it shows. It’s clear Lemmy is downstream of reddit to them.
The mods on startrek.website are the same ones from reddit and care little about transparency or actually hosting a star trek community that fosters open discussion. They are frequently banning users that voice opinions that don’t break any rules except mod opinion.
This has been going on for some time and is the perfect use case for why decentralizing common discussion topics is a feature, not a bug, of the fediverse/lemmy
Gave me such anxiety. Loved all the guest actors they got to play family
Screw Russia. They’re pathethic and getting a taste of their own medicine.
So will you if a nuclear war is triggered. Do you really think protecting Ukraine’s sovereignty is worth burning down the world in an exchange of nuclear weapons?
Not happy about Russia invading Ukraine but also not happy about the US potentially escalating to WW3. Ukraine is not worth a nuclear Holocaust
I’m not arguing with someone who keeps contradicting themselves in their own comment and lacks any basic historical awareness of the cold war or 20th century at large. Let me make my point crystal clear:
Nuclear war and world war should be avoided at all costs
The US committing troops to the ground to fight for Ukrainian sovereignty will trigger WW3
A third world war between NATO and Russia will involve the use of nuclear warheads
If you’d like to refute any of these points please be prepared to bring something to back up your words. I am a historian so I’ll take any primary source or peer reviewed secondary sources. Otherwise you’re just blowing hot air for the purpose of stoking hate. Something I won’t take any more part in.
I don’t know if you’re genuinely trolling or just being plain ignorant.
I’m literally comparing how weapons assistance starts small and escalates to large scale involvement based on higher level comments saying something along the lines of
Oh, it’s only 3k troops. Hardly an escalation
Context is king buddy. How does that whole quote go you glossed over of mine?
Ukrainians have just as much a right to die for their country as I do not having to die for it
Paraphrasing because you didn’t link to me saying that.
And the point still stands, I never said the us was trying to start a war
Then what exactly do you call your comment I’m replying to?
It sounds like you watch too many action movies.
Seems exactly like an ad hominem attack. Something i only return in favor. You had absolutely nothing intelligent to say in response to me and it shows. Christ almighty, quit gaslighting everyone. We get it youre either a bot or working at a pentagon troll farm.
Or, you know, because it’s free and they’re running this service for you out of the goodness of their hearts?
I suppose it’s easier to attack than to actually read and comprehend what someone says. I’m fully aware of who I’m talking to and what post were in. You’re the guy I triggered by not wanting the us to escalate the situation into WW3 by committing troops.
