If I'm not mistaken, Kutcher's letter actually referenced the verdict.

TNG is a good entry point, but the first two seasons can be rough. Feel free to skip them if they're on the verge of turning you off the series entirely.

It would be nice if Lemmy had a way to consolidate cross posts to avoid this problem. I also find it annoying - if they would all collapse down to a single entry in the feed, it would solve it.

The best part is when the publisher shuts down the server on their end so the game breaks even if you are connected to the internet. I'm still waiting for Blood Dragon to get a patch to remove the periodic calls home, but it doesn't seem likely at this point

I like to say "before the turn of the century", but someone always gives me shit for it.

I think they were just expressing empathy. If so, I agree with that sentiment. Your family done you dirty. Hope things are better now, or shortly will be.

I really hope it will turn out that they got a bunch of useful stuff from Alex Jones' cell phone data.

To be fair, the hand wringing activities around exploding heads probably included a lot of soul searching and deciding what is and is not important to the admins. Stands to reason that having learned and made some decisions from that would make the process faster next time around.

It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage.

I still remember the first time someone told me about EverQuest. I legit thought they were trying to trick me.

I don't recall the ACLU ever fighting to compel a private business to promote or facilitate hate speech.

15 years for me. I'm not the type to go scorched earth, so I'll still pop in briefly from time to time from a Google search or to look for something specific, but I don't use Reddit for near-constant idle browsing anymore, like I used to. Now I have Lemmy for that, although it would probably be healthier to just cut out social media altogether (or severely reduce it).

 

My main account is on Lemmy.World, but suddenly every time I try to go to the main page I get redirected to a single frame of a video with some guy subtitled to say something unpleasant about children. I also got sent to lemon party once.

Lemm.ee is working fine, so I'm guessing it's not a problem on my end. The last thing I saw/clicked on before this behavior was what looked like an official post about threads.net being whitelisted, which makes it tempting to speculate about overzealous Lemmy users hacking the site as a form of protest. No idea if that's actually the case, though.
