Zink,

Those “anti bird spikes” look like razor sharp bladed caltrops to me!

Zink, (edited )

Mobile games for kids are the worst. Those and any self-help mental health apps.

It’s $10 a month to access the features of a basic game that runs on the local device, or the subscription renews weekly, or you can get a 7-day free trial after which it charges you for the entire year. And in the latter case, you usually have to sign up for the free trial before you are allowed to see ANY content.

A cheap subscription makes sense for some things, especially those using cloud based resources. But so much of that business model seems to rely on making money by screwing people that forgot they were paying you.

Zink,

I watched the DS9 episode with O’Brien recovering/suffering from the 20-year accelerated mental prison sentence just last night!

Zink,

I remember thinking they were so neat.

And now in middle age I’m wearing what is essentially a full blown smart phone on my wrist.

So here we are in the future. I have no flying cars but I have my calculator watch and startrek/dick-tracy super combo device, damn it!

Zink,

I haven’t played VR for a couple years, but I played hundreds of hours of it in the 2018-2020 time frame. It has a long way to go but it’s already amazing too.

Zink,

There’s also the episode where the three Ferengi go back in time to (I think) the Roswell incident in mid 20th century USA.

Quark is repeatedly appalled at the stuff the hu-mons are doing to hurt themselves and destroy the planet. Smoking and testing nuclear fission bombs come to mind.

Zink,

I think he is the one character on DS9 where as soon as I see him, I think aw yeah this will be a fun scene.

Zink,

That stinks. I could see him being treated very nicely around here, but maybe the same jackasses would just follow him.

Zink,

America is essentially the center of the universe, so to exclude it from a photo of earth is pretty much an overt hostile act. A hostile act towards the people with the F-22s.

Source: am American, have to deal with other Americans that are less aware of the world.

Zink,

I guess 57:57 is the same vision as 20:20! It’s just a ratio of your eyes vs good ones.

Zink,

She has some “brb using imagination since no pics” energy in that second frame.

Zink,

Talk shit on FOSS, by comparing it to communism like it’s a bad thing, on Lemmy.

Now there’s a message this place will love, lol.

Zink,

Just the mental image of this is beautiful.

Zink,

Oh that’s interesting trivia!

*glances up to check community the post is from *

Damn it risa, you got me again!

Please don’t stop.

Zink,

I think there’s some high quality Borg potential here where they are assimilating existing memes.

Or maybe it’s a competition where the definitely human posters have to trekkify as many memes as they can before the Borg meme squad assimilates them.

Zink,

Yeah there’s there tragic undertone to the whole thing as well. It showed the underclass actually standing up for themselves rather than fighting to keep inequality in place.

Zink,

When I read the regular news, I still have to come here to see the meme spin on current events.

Zink,

I am absolutely looking forward to it! I have been enjoying this rewatch much more than I remember liking the show years ago.

I’m at this sweet spot where I know the broad strokes but don’t remember all the details because it’s been a long time. I can anticipate stuff and see pieces falling into place, but I still get surprises here and there.

Zink,

I’m in the middle of a DS9 rewatch and I was unable to quiet his voice in my head!

Zink,

I have set both short and long swipe right to be upvote in my favorite clients (Memmy, Voyager). That way I can rapid fire the upvotes on a discussion I like.

If I feel compelled to get off my ass and downvote something, it’s always two clicks away in the menu.

Zink,

100% true. 0% regrets.

I also react differently to simple things like hugs, drawings, or snacks delivered via faceless corporation versus a child I love.
