The internet, as experienced by most humans today, primarily consists of ads, sponsored content, propaganda and spin. I don't really see how it's contributing to our development in a constructive manner.

1 every 5 years?? Yeah, ok, Mr. Popular.

He was more like that Bond parody with Rowan Atkinson. Bumbling and fumbling while bragging and shagging.

Britain is not holding up its end here, producing the mega-shagger we need to save us all.

Serious question: what actually is the value of hard work?

Principal Skinner meme:
Is it the state of the world and lack of credible future that causes mental health problems?

NO, it's the social media that is to blame.

Am I suffering some kind of confirmation bias, or does Spock spend an unusually large amount of time expressing emotions, for someone who's supposed to never express emotions?

EDIT: By way of addressing some of the replies to this post, without replying to them all individually, I just wanted to add this:
I'm not critiquing the handling of Spock's character in relation to TOS or movies, Peck's a great actor and is doing a fine job at interpreting this role.
The point I'm trying to make is that Spock (and data, T'pol, Tuvok, etc. after him) gets juxtaposed so often, it seems more entertainment-oriented than story-oriented. Like, "wouldn't it be cool if they had to...". The classic sitcom trope of putting the awkward person in a public-facing position, with hilarious consequences. It just seems like these hilarious consequences are occurring too often to call it character development.

I'd go as far as to say that it's not a trend, it's a prerequisite.

I'd like to offer an alternative to the subreddit dedicated to my favourite football (soccer) team. I'm pretty sure none of the reddit mods are interested in doing this, and I've deleted my account there, so I'm not going to try to persuade them.

Where would you recommend starting the community if you were in my position? I don't mind doing the leg-work in the beginning, but I'm a bit too new to all this to know where to start.

I have made a magazine on kbin, but that doesnt seem to show up on a search of lemmy, for example. Am I missing something? I'm hoping to just get a visible presence on the fediverse, so anyone interested in leaving the reddit community can see they're not alone.
