    So weird to see a liberal content creator use that weird selective title case that became submissions with conservative posters. (You know, capitalizing the first letter of some words)

    Edit: to clarify, I’m not trying to create drama or accuse anyone of anything. I’m just curious because I always associated this style of capitalization with certain discourse (or with German language)

    In all seriousness, thank you for keeping your ear to the ground and reacting to the changing climate of Lemmy as a platform. Even though I only lurk in this community, I just wanted to express my support for keeping the space and its visitors safe®.

    It also made me realize that perhaps (in other communities) I only bothered to participate in conversations when I disagree - so ten more points to admins for making this one retrospect a bit.

    eBay has become the place for scalpers to sell overpriced wares, after they emptied store shelves. From toilet paper to graphics cards, that’s where the buyout stock, sell for profit happened.

    Now even without shortages, this philosophy persists at eBay. Nothing to lose for them, free money to make on uninformed buyers.

    Worst case they end up not selling and can possibly return items for full refund.

    Scummery at it’s finest

    As a fellow GenX I could not agree more. I was absolutely hyped when Trek returned to cinemas only to get increasingly disappointed by a “star wars reboot proof of concept” approach to the movies.

    When Discovery came around I was all in, but soon it turned into a shooting gallery pew pew show and became the first Trek show I abandoned mid-way.

    Picard was a confusing mess where they made friends with Borg only to fight Borg next season… and then ended to the crowd’s applause because showrunners drowned it in memberberries.

    Strange New Worlds is about discoveries and relationships and science. It’s goofier than TOS or TNG but in a nice, friendly way. It does not try to be edgy or shocking - it feels fresh and engaging, just like TNG, DS9 and VOY felt when they were first broadcast.

    I guess we’re just about to wrap up the second season, so it may be too early to call - but SNW is way on the way to becoming my favorite Trek, not just of the modern era but of all time.
