Hey, @whoreticulture

Noticed your account was only a couple of weeks old, so wanted to welcome you to Lemmy!

Thanks for joining!

Hard to watch, honestly. Bad writing.

Have made a lot of excuses for this show, and generally have enjoyed it.

But, can anyone explain to me why Burnham needed to get off of the thieves' ship, whose engine she was (according to herself) moments away from disabling with her phaser, other than the need to set up a season of find-a-map-hint-per-episode trope by letting them get away?

Mind boggling dumb starting plot point that ruins the whole season setup.

Not religious, but "Steady plodding bring prosperity".

All my life I have watched as many of those around me struggle to stay consistent in their lives, and have worse outcomes as a result.

Inconsistent with their savings habits.

Inconsistent in their employment efforts.

Inconsistent with their love lives.

Inconsistent with taking care of themselves.

Consistency provides a basis for better long term results. Very little success is possible in almost any endeavor without it.

Though I've found it personally frustrating to remain consistent in my own life, the benefits of doing so I have found to be exponential, although late and taken for granted by others who weren't consistent.

Another is: "What are you willing to give up to get what you want?"

All too many things are zero-sum, and though consumer capitalist systems often pretend "you can have it all", you can't.

Honest reflection about what is most important to yourself, and what personal sacrifices are required to obtain your goal, makes the goal easier to obtain.

Many sacrifices that are needed are clear from the offset, but by being honest and willing before the endeavour, those future sacrifices are less traumatic. Other sacrifices pop up along the way, and it's important to re-evaluate at intervals whether your end goal is still worth it.

For love: "Prequalify your spouse."

People lead with their hearts often where their heads can't follow.

Sure they may be attractive, or have an amazing personality, or be rich, but do you KNOW them?

Is their fading beauty or quick wit or checking balance able to really make up for their poor treatment of others, latent racism or sexism, politics, religious adherence, stance on having children, intention in the future to care for ailing family, or poor spending habits? What about if they believe it's appropriate to hit your future kids, or demand the kids are their religion, or can't be gay? What if they refuse to travel or relocate? What if they don't clean up after themselves or never take responsibility for their failings?

It is imperative to long term relationship success that you spend enough time for both partners to actually understand each other, because there is more to long term compatibility related to shared values than there is to sexual attraction.

Most often this advice results in people realizing they haven't given enough thought themselves to what and why they believe is the best way to live their own lives, and where those values came from.

I've got loads more, but those are a great start.

The Florida thing is now ignoring them, after they ask and are told.

See: all the felons prevented from voting after approved.

HOW WAS THIS NOT ALREADY THE CASE?

Judge Jones was already assigned as a court-mandated financial monitor for the trial and the next three years.

This financial monitor up until today WAS NOT included in communication or documentation, of the company she financially monitors due to their previous history of financial misrepresentations when obtaining financing, as it attempts to obtain financing?!

America is stupid. Honestly.

Houses of worship with security make me chuckle.

"Look, we don't really believe."

The premise of their organizations is assurity in God's plan for their lives and an afterlife.

If someone comes in and kills them the worst that happens is a beeline to heaven, according to their supposed beliefs.

Security (or emergency medical care, in this instance) only delays when they get to reach the place they claim they want to go, and insinuates they aren't true believers.

Funny stuff.

That's cool!

Also found mine on lemmy, though I don't remember where.

Because the CCP prefers to indoctrinate their population themselves, and puts road blocks to prevent foreign companies from doing so.

America doesn't, or at least hasn't, until now.

And American leadership isn't against foreign governments indoctrinating US citizens via social media. They are against not being able to PROFIT from it.

TikTok is private, controlled by the CCP, and closed sourced.

Trump toadie in this article isn't trying to shut down the indoctrination. He wants to buy and use it, take the code out and use it everywhere as well as to sell it to the highest bidders, which will likely be more autocrats.

I neither care nor want Facebook et al trying to reshape Chinese minds, though it has no relevance to this point anyway.

And pointing out that the Chinese don't allow things America does is not the win you think it is here, (ra ra Team America f*ck yeah and what not). If you like how the Chinese do it, go there and enjoy. It's your life.

The powerful claim that Tiktok supposedly needs to be divested or banned due to both it's CCP control and it's effective algorithmic ability to sway US minds.

This seems more like jealousy than security related, as is exampled by the disinterest in actual digital privacy legislation for social media, which would hurt America's rich. Or alternatively just forcing TikTok to put a big warning not to trust content due to CCP ownership, instead of divest or ban.

They also seem to ignore the fact that US minds (and most everywhere else) seem to be so easy to currently manipulate, and have no interest in improving education to teach how to reduce potential manipulation.

So, after lobbying the government to force a sale of something that can manipulate US voter minds, a former Trump official and stooge wants to buy [edit: at a forced fire sale too] this algorithm that can manipulate US minds.

The divesting push and this purchase push are obviously part of the same effort.

US politicians don't want the Chinese to control you; but US politicians and businesspeople very much DO want to use this Chinese tech on you for their own purposes. Otherwise, divest would not be an option.
