This is absolutely an incel meme. Incel ideology hinges on always placing the blame on something external (often women and genetics) for their problems, never their own actions. If someone were to blame themselves and take responsibility for their own situation, it would by definition not be Involuntary.

(a life condition you’d like to change)

Incel ideology is defined by the “involuntary” (the “In” in “Incel”). So by definition, saying that something can be changed, implies it is not involuntary. And not a part of the ideology.

And because choosing to follow the ideology is a choice, there can be no such thing as a “small ‘i’” incel.

I wasn’t calling you an Incel.

Yes, “Dark Page”. A top five TNG episode for me.

There are literally dozens of us! I’m running Zorin. The Reddit debacle really hit home for me that free alternatives to commercial projects work best when everyone pitches in a little.

My pet peeve is when people complain someone else’s free labor isn’t being done in the way they’d prefer. First of all, it’s entitled. Secondly, complaining on social media rarely if ever accomplishes anything in FOSS land.

Holy shit …am I a bigot?

Zorin is designed with windows users in mind. It’s very polished and it helped me make the transition.

Why doesn’t this have a million upvotes

Me vs my ISP

So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It’s concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you....

TrueNAS is very good at being a NAS. I used it for some time but eventually moved to CasaOS because it’s better at being a home server.

Pretty sure it’s AI generated anyway. Look at the rank insignia, the weird cuff bars, the weird delta shield, her knuckles, etc

He smiles three times:

  • once time he on drugs
  • one time he is bullying Spock
  • one time he is on drugs (taylors version)

Still very cool, though. Thanks!

Where are you seeing a VPS for $1/month that works well as a Jellyfin server for multiple people?

Corgana,
@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

it could easily have been set up to actually create a conflict

idk sounds kinda heavy handed on drama

Star Trek had a coming out story?

it wouldn’t make sense to treat someones sexual orientation or gender to be strange

I’m struggling to recall if this ever happened, can you give an example of when someone’s sexual orientation was treated differently?

Edit: still waiting

Are you sure it was in Disco? I’ve seen Disco twice and don’t remember a character who was closeted. What episodes?

Can you elaborate on what “forced” means?

I’m so confused reading this thread, what was less “casual” about the queer v straight characters in Discovery?

@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

Ok but why is being served everything on a silver platter “contrived progressivism”? You mean because the actress is black?

Like, something that turned me off of nu-trek was how the representation was handled. It felt pandery to an almost gross extent.

you must be nu to star trek

LOL I was thinking something with a structure and functionality that’s impossible to have on Reddit. But you’re probably not wrong either.
