Really pleased to hear this. I will be staying on Beehaw for the foreseeable future, I'm on the same page as the admins.
Well said. Archer could have been such an interesting character who grows throughout the series, and I think that was much of the original plan, but I think the writers were straight up exhausted from TNG - DS9 - VOY for like 30 years and gave up trying.
9/11 allegory with the Xindi - I mean, it was a pretty big event and it's only natural for America's biggest sci fi show to try and tackle it. The Xindi arc was interesting and I think really good in some parts - but it didn't feel like Trek to me. This wasn't the show to try it on.
I feel so bad for Scott Bakula. This was going to be an absolutely defining role for him but he was given nothing to work with, and was cut loose right when the interesting stuff started showing up. I really want him to get another chance to shine, with some decent writing up to the calibre of Strange New Worlds at least.
I think there will be a lot of confused people trying to access Reddit. We might get a few stragglers but I think word of mouth is better for getting people involved - ie messaging them to come over.
Quality over quantity, absolutely!
I'm not from Melbourne, but it's great to see Melbourne people using their Fedi alternative to Reddit. The Brisbane one is dead!
I work in the media industry. Yes, sometimes there are times when you have to work like hell. But it shouldn't be this way by default and expecting people to work insane hours to compensate for a lack of planning is stupid, unnecessary and burns out your team. If you really think like this, you're the kind of person I would never want to work with.
By the sounds of the article the director didn't understand how to plan for 3D animation - which just makes them a bad director who made others spend time fixing their mistakes.
I feel that this problem has only got worse with the popularity of SUVs. I live in a small town in the UK with a large number or wealthy residents who love their posh Land Rovers. They make driving around the streets a mess - lots of waiting for people to pass due to an effective one way street or because their car is way too big and I can't safely squeeze past them. If they all had regular cars like me traffic would be able to move a lot easier.
I live in the UK. I take the train to work, but I usually drive to the shops and for errands as there aren't any cheap supermarkets within walking distance. I do tend to walk into town as parking is a pain! And I do lots of walks around my towns parks.
Should really get on the bike train, but I don't have a great place to store it and I'm worried about getting killed by SUVs!
I agree with you - but from personal experience of growing up in a cookie cutter, isolated suburb it's the kind of place that does something bad to you psychologically. Living in a walkable (dare I say 15 minute?) town now has done wonders for my mental state compared to when I lived in the suburbs.
Cookie clicker anyone? I play it on both android and PC. Wish Android had more features!
I'm actually quite pleased to see lemmy.ml focus on what they want to focus on rather than being a general purpose instance like mastodon.social. I read their mission statement and they were pretty adamant that they want to see a variety of different instances - and we should! Reminds me of the golden forum days.
YES. Thank you. This is the kind of community I've been looking for.
