The reality is ALL performing contracts come with a clause that allows the performers to cancel at any time, for any reason

Why would anyone sign such a contract? I thought the whole point of a contract was to guarantee the exchange of money, goods, and services?

I mean, as a worthless consumer, I agree to such things all the time, because I have no choice. I should think a performing venue has slightly more leverage.

No, if warp speed has to be maintained, then when it stops being maintained, you stop moving at warp. This is very well outlined in the show. It doesn't work with our understanding of, well, anything, but that's covered under "we have no meaningful understanding of FTL."

You're trying to impose real world physics on something that has no real world analogue.

We have no meaningful understanding of how FTL works. It is presented to us as an active process, something that must be maintained, unlike normal space velocity.

But, again, no meaningful understanding.

I've never know a happy Southern Baptist. I'm not interested in being as miserable as them.

I find it hard to believe that it's legal to buy a company, but not it's contractual obligations. Seems line a hell of a loophole for getting out of things you don't want to do.

I'm an elder millennial. I feel like my life has spent more time on hold than otherwise. Economic crisis, plague, not-really-a-war-but-war, more economic crisis, watered down dictator. . .

Can I just die already?

ED meds are gender affirming care, aren't they? If they are gonna cut it out of military spending, cut all of it out.

Naked Prisoners (startrek.website)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by SaltSong@startrek.website to c/rimworld@lemmy.world

Is there an easier way to get clothing for a prisoner than drafting a pawn and having them strip in the cell before walking naked back to the cloths storage?

Everyone who thinks this seems to forget that they have to live through the collapse of civilization. It's not gonna be pleasant.

So he wasn't using AI to make the argument, just to speak his own words, because he mumbles.

While he should have identified this properly, this is the least offensive use of AI generated video I can imagine.

Fairborn Community Garden (startrek.website)

Has anyone here participated in the Fairborn Community Gardens in the past? I'm trying to get an idea of what the "normal" approach is, and what the general expectations are.

Autoplay Videos (startrek.website)

New to this whole Lemmy platform, but I'm liking it.

One problem I'm having is auto-play videos when I open some discussions. Not in the comments, but the post itself starts playing.

I'll skip my usual rant about what I think should be done to whoever decided to make that a feature, and just ask how to turn it off. I have "auto expand media" unchecked in my lemmy settings.

I appreciate any advice.
