bionicjoey, to asklemmy in What is something you watch/do but not for its intended purpose?

Sometimes I watch NSFW ASMR videos in order to trigger my ASMR.

Oh God, not the stairs!

bionicjoey, to asklemmy in Would reverting back to tribes or city-states not be sufficient to save us from ourselves?

the civilizations that currently exist that don’t have that connection

Like which?

bionicjoey, to asklemmy in What is your favorite time travel movie or show?

It’s a time loop story like Groundhog Day

Russian Doll is a pretty good one

bionicjoey, to piracy in It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it

I believe their copyright claim system is set up so that any ad revenue for a song goes to the copyright holder, and they can have the video taken down if that isn’t enough. It’s why YouTubers are so careful not to use too much of a copyrighted song in their videos.

bionicjoey, to linux in Is there a way to autocomplete user defined search terms in firefox search

This is one of the features in chrome that I wish Firefox would implement.

bionicjoey, to risa in Rule of Acquisition #10: Greed is eternal

One of my favourite lines in all of DS9 is when Rom and Quark are arguing about where they’ve crash landed.

Quark says something like, “maybe we’ve died and gone to [ferengi heaven]”.

Rom then says “or maybe we’ve gone to [Ferengi Hell]?”

Quark responds (and Armin absolutely crushed this line IMO): “The bar was turning a profit!”

I love the sheer number of TFS comics that are just “what if people, but animals?”

That explains some things I’ve seen it generate.

So what you’re saying is… Bears are powered by AI.

Pretty good discussion in my old post here: lemmy.ca/post/5380703

bionicjoey, to risa in Riker had some double-standard problems, man...

To give a more serious answer, Bajorans seem very theocratic and I think most of them would fundamentally disagree with the concept of a secular government.

Bajor exists in a weird gray area since their religion is in some ways literally real. In some ways the Bajorans are like the Vorta and the Jem’Hadar. Their “gods” are provably real, they interact with them regularly, and they have demonstrated to them that they have what seem to be supernatural powers.

Also, critically for the Bajorans, not only are their gods real, but their demons (Pa Wraiths) are real as well. And that opens up a whole other philosophical can of worms. In a way it reminds me of Warhammer 40k. In that universe, religion isn’t irrational. In fact it’s completely rational. Because Chaos is real, and it will fuck you up if you aren’t religious.
