No you see they know it’s a cucumber because ancient Egyptian dildos had a compartment for bees so that users could experience a vibration effect.

The worst part about Lemmy is the tankies.

I feel like “why doesn’t Bruce Wayne improve Gotham” is the comic book equivalent of “why didn’t they use they take the eagles to Mordor”.

I get the feeling the part of capitalism Phil Spencer hates is the part where consumers can take their business elsewhere if they don’t like the product.

That’s fair.

This kind of talk is counterproductive.

Humans are social creatures. There has almost always been some sort of social norm across all of history. Likewise, there has almost been judgement of people who break social norms.

People with Autism have, among other things, trouble following those social norms. Ultimately a lot of the things we do could be considered offensive. The important part is to increase awareness that Autism is a disability and to ask for tolerance.

Meanwhile a lot of ways that autistic people are sensitive in are pretty alien and jarring. There’s a lack of emotional regulation that often leads to disproportionate outbursts. There are sensory issues that can lead to relatively benign things causing said outbursts. There are a ton of things that are simply more disruptive than a neurotypical person getting miffed that someone doesn’t make eye contact.

Changing the error level in the build config without telling everyone and then making a hyperbolic passive aggressive comic when the senior admonishes you for doing so ?

I’m gonna guess 1 YoE, second job out of college. Enough experience to know what they’re doing, but not enough to know when to do it.

If all the apps are in React Native I feel like they are gonna have a bad time. If you’re not careful React Native apps have bad performance, and Fire TVs don’t have a lot of performance to spare.

A Kia Sportage is a small crossover. That category is one of the most popular in America. There are already a huge number of them on the roads and the models like the Rav4 and CRV are often among the top 5 models in terms of new cars sold.

As a sidenote please do not buy a Kia. The company just simply isn’t committed to quality. Every few years it’s revealed a huge number of their models has some fatal flaw. The company always refuses to fix everything until they get their ass sued into oblivion.

It’s not only you though. The top comment is talking about how they only take medication when they REALLY need it.

Like I get you build up a tolerance but it’s possible to take ADHD meds on a semi consistent basis. Plus Wellbutrin/Effexor/Starters/Qelbree are at the very least better than nothing.

The title and comments are super toxic.

Mental health disorders are serious issues. You owe it to yourself to explore and utilize all treatment options available. Refusing to take medications out of some weird sense of pride isn’t funny, it’s self destructive.

So, as it’s been stated, Wayland is still not universally better than X. There are still bugs in places. Gaming is still an issue. Kwin’s implementation still isn’t complete enough to be reliably introduced as the default.

This is after years and years of work. Yes, making an entirely new display protocol is hard. However Wayland was introduced as the “eventual X replacement” when I was in high school. I’m 30 now. I’ve heard some variation of “Wayland is almost ready” since my senior year of college.

At some point it becomes exhausting. At this point when someone says something along the lines of “in a year or two, Wayland will reach a point where X.org will be a thing of the past” my immediate reaction is to call bullshit.

Honestly I feel like most of NuTrek is overseen by people who never really liked star trek in the first place and were tasked with watering down the IP into lowest common denominator mass market schlock instead of expanding on the series.

It didn’t help that when Discovery came out the majority of reviewers clearly knew extremely little about the Star Trek as a whole. I remember reading an article on how Discovery breaks ground for female characters in Star Trek, who previously have been stereotyped to caregiving roles.

I was not a fan of SNW season 1. It felt like it focused on visuals and recycled a bunch of low effort cliches for the plot. They also seemed to try to rush character development in a way that felt completely unearned.

However, I loved SNW season 2. It’s the first show I felt was a true modern successor for Star Trek. While not perfect, it managed to do a great job taking classic themes of star trek and updating them to the modern era. I consider “Under the Cloak of War” an all time Star Trek great. Also season 1 being bad actually makes it feel more like Star Trek.

So to answer your question: No. This is incredibly stupid. While the words were by a villain, it implied that there was a lot of truth to them. There are many ways to lead a fulfilling life without (romantic) love. There are many things in the galaxy beyond coldness. This has been well established by Star Trek and demonstrated by multiple characters in multiple series.

Also, they should give whoever writes lower decks a serious show. They clearly have an extremely deep understanding of Star Trek and have done a good job developing characters.

It’s probably for the best that they didn’t use voyager as an example about how Vulcan emotions can infect other people…

I also enjoyed the part where Freeman tries to stop them. I sat there thinking that she was being smart it was 100 percent the betazoids. It’s a good example why the characters aren’t idiots for doing the things we yell at the TV screen.

This always seemed like the cheapest way to manufacture tension for me.

There are serious core philosophical differences between Sisco and Picard. There are multiple avenues that could have been used to create conflict and tension.

Instead we get Sisco hating Picard because he blamed him for that shit with the Borg. At best the first impression of Sisco is that he’s kind of an idiot. If you dig deeper Sisco is a victim blaming asshole who hates Picard for serving as a meat puppet after getting brutally violated by the Borg.

You could have just switched the reason for Sisco to hate Picard to the fact that he had his chance to strike a fatal blow to the Borg and refused for reasons Sisco would see as sanctimonious.

I liked the Boimler one because even when he’s screwing up he’s showing why he got promoted. Under normal conditions, he would have completed a three man job by himself.

You guys know that a lot of medications that target severe mental health issues are also used off label for autism right?

There are also therapists that specialize in adult autism. They are just less common.

This entire thread is just a shitty justification for not taking meaningful steps to treat your mental health issues.

EDIT: Honestly I think the real issue is that the vast majority of you are self diagnosed and looking for reasons to not see a doctor.

I’m honestly just impressed by how much this guy has grown. I remember when he was going on rants about how much he hates atheists.

So it’s basically a tale of two seasons.

Season 1, IMO, has the same flaws as discovery with more coherent writing. The plot jumps from point to point, the characters are underdeveloped, etc. It doesn’t have any “this is not only extremely stupid but feels like the writers didn’t actually bother watching star trek” moments, but it still isn’t good.

Season 2 feels like a true modern tale on Trek. They manage to truly respect the old lore while bringing in new moral dilemmas. The characters are more developed and taken in interesting directions. They managed to sneak in a line that gives a decent explanation as to why things don’t 100 percent match up in canon. There’s also one episode that I would put up there as an all time great across every series.

So I would say slog through Season 1 for the joy of watching Season 2

I mean let’s be real here they had every right to be concerned. TNG had serious problems in the beginning and had some pretty big flaws even as the show got going. Off the top of my head

• The first few episodes (besides Q) were straight trash. Even if you take out the ample racism and sexism, they still kinda suck
• Worf didn’t become a thing until Yar died. He was just kinda there. Also his hair looked ridiculous
• Riker was half as sexy in terms of looks and a quarter as sexy in terms of personality
• Picard was a dick. Not firm but fair. A straight up dick.
• They straight up got rid of crusher for a season
• The Ferengi were awful. Not like in a “lol what shenanigans is Quark up to now” but in a “TOS Gorn” way
