Ok, so, I was just agreeing with the person above me about what my brain saw first, given how obsessed and oversaturated my news unfortunately is.

The dumb hashtag was removed, but otherwise I certainly wasn’t downplaying the tragedy.

I also thought this was another Trump article.

The creeper paradox: the harder you try not to be, the more you appear to be.

I replied to OP but I also need to say that I have definitely been the bully before. Very very inept coworker that after months of mentoring started to blame me for their short comings. So, after that, I stopped being so nice. There was only so much bullshit I could handle.

So at the time, it felt justified? But looking back I wish my response was to just ignore them.

The last time I was bullied, was by my own boss, back in 2007-2009. Truth is I didn’t deal with it, and eventually they fired me. Next job basically taught me that it was possible to enjoy your boss & coworkers.

If you’re going through it now, best advice is to find people to talk to. Partner at home, work friends, anyone you trust. If it’s to the point of harassment, you tell management. If they blow you off, look for employment elsewhere.

I wasn’t even thinking about words like maiden having “deeper” meaning back then … Thanks!

Why would it have been censored?

I think your last sentence answers it for me.

The TNG movies felt like “big episodes” to me. That said, I still liked them fine enough.

I bet it’s also common/planned that they would just reopen another one somewhere else. Esp if it closed for bankruptcy, etc.

For science, of course.

Remember jeans ads from the 90s? Jeans were all they had on!

This is exactly how I felt as we finish up SNW. We still love SNW, but yeah they just keep making shows stick in the same timeline to focus on nostalgia.

I liked it, to me it emphasized how the show “predates” the federation as we knew previously.

and the other 99 million?

Can we block sources on Lemmy?

Thanks! Fortunately (unfortunately?) I’m all Windows atm. Other than my pihole and photoframe.

oh I wouldn’t say I’m “adamant” - but to answer your question I was looking to unGoogle my Google Drive and GMail, and Proton popped up pretty quick for having both. I’m currently paying for Private Internet Access VPN, but once that expires I could also get a 3rd function out of Proton with their VPN. I also want my new mail service to allow custom domains, which Proton also does.

Me too! Pretty close to moving to proton though. Might wait for Black Friday rates.

I saw this and thought you meant made in China too. But reading the article, it’s a foxconn plant in Ohio. But not sure if new plant or existing, but at least it’s made here.
