Just gonna have to swipe right and find out.

Nice, and yeah, definitely. Until my senior year English class, the only books were were allowed to use for any reading assignment were Shakespeare or Newberry award books.

For me, all of the above.

And for "Trying to learn a new language", it's unforgivable when the subtitles say "(Speaking Foreign Language)" and are over top of the translation subtitles that are part of the actual scene 😠

Most recent one today included a comment saying videos are not allowed, which it says nowhere in their rules, unless there's some portion of my vision that's failing.

Literally the first rule: Post only links to articles. Video != Article

The previous piece he rejected over there was because I included an image link, in

Again: Post only links to articles. In 99.9999% of cases, rules of that variety mean the post's URL (the main URL for the post) must be to the article.

The community is not a general political discussion, political opinion, meme, or "see what [blank] talking head shat out on social media". It's to discuss political news centered around articles from credible sources.

He just writes a comment in the post, then deletes it.

It's a comment reply so still shows up in your notifications (at least it does in Lemmy).

Just kind of wondering what people think about this

I think you need to learn to read and follow the rules before throwing out inflammatory posts like this. That, or find more appropriate communities for what you want to post.

Political videos: !politicalvideos@lemmy.world

Images/Memes: Find a political memes community. There's plenty of them.

General Political Discussion: !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world

What's the saying?

"What do you call someone who got all D's in med school?"

Doctor. You call them "Doctor"

How you come back so long later and keep it fresh, I don't know. I just hope they can pull it off.

King of the Hill pulled it off, so 🤞

Definitely different experiences, but yeah, agree. Generally, I only like to listen to the audiobook after I've read it (unless there's no other option). It's difficult for me to not miss important plot points when I'm listening to it, but that's probably just my ADHD.

No, actually, it was for the Ladybird community. But I'm also memeing about the blue Sonic, so any similarities of completely coincidental. If you're a mod in one of those wholesome communities and both of you agreed, I stand by my tacit approval.

However, there is this: https://lemmy.zip/post/40774562

The pinned post in your Fedigrow community (also pinned in the older lemm.ee one) is literally pushing people to look for communities to consolidate and nag the mods about it. That's where my annoyance with blue Sonic is coming from. Just going around trying to "fix" things that aren't broken.

The bag dissolved and spilled gasoline all over the pavement before they could even lift it into the trunk of their car.

If you do, post it!

Not against mergers per se, no . I even said so in the post. Though I'm not necessarily happy about it.

TL;DR of my life is I've been screwed by M&A's way too many times, and it's never made things better. lol

Okay, but if that community didn't merge in the first place - the likelihood would be that it wouldn't even explode in activity for that to even happen as the audience would be split between multiples.

Bigger isn't always better. I stand by that.

 

I've heard it pronounced both "Dave-Iss" and "Davey's". I don't hear the names often but I see them regularly and never know how to pronounce them. The only one I'm sure about is Alan Davies (Dave-Iss) because of QI.

Top Scene: S1E05: Babel

Bottom Scene: S1E06: Captive Pursuit

 

A fascinating look back at the potential 'Star Trek' sequel TV show includes some incredible imaginings of what the new USS 'Enterprise' may have looked like.

The existence of Star Trek: Phase II—the plans for a Star Trek continuation series in the mid-1970s that eventually gave way to Star Trek: The Motion Picture—has been known for a very long time at this point. We’ve seen concept art, we’ve seen story ideas, and we’ve seen it for long enough to see how those nuggets have gone on to influence the Star Trek that we would go on to get for another 50 years. And yet, there’s still plenty to enjoy in this new documentary about the bumpy road Star Trek almost made on the journey home back to our screens.

 

My only complaint about the Ro Laren episodes is that there weren't more Ro Laren episodes.

 

Yes, I'm aware I can curse on the internet - it's not my first day here. I use the exact words I mean to use, and I'm more a fan of the precision F-strike than indiscriminately carpet-bombing the place with "fucks". Stop word-policing me (and others).

Edited to add alt text.

Yeah, this went over about as well as expected. And the irony and hypocrisy of the free speech absolutists coming out of the woodwork to tell us all what we can and can't say is not lost on me.

 

Saw Goldeneye posted earlier. Sticking with the 90's Bond theme theme.
