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.
You see bug, I see feature.
I like having options. Meme community gets too political? Just block it and use another.
On the flip side, if a niche topic community merges with another and turns to crap (for any number of reasons), then there's nowhere else to go unless I start my own. And if it moves to an instance I've blocked? Well, I'm just gonna have to go without it because I blocked that instance for a reason.
It all ends up in the same feed whether it's a 1 active user community or a million active user community. 🤷♂️
As an example, there's multiple Star Trek meme communities. I just switch back and forth and post to both (unique content to each).
Oh, yeah, that's true. I think it cuts you off somewhere below the pre-auth amount (whatever that dollar amount translates to in gallons). Didn't even think of that, but yeah.
That one's sadly true. I saw it firsthand in my neck of the woods. Also garbage bags. Same result either way.
I can't speak for this one, but I have seen it before.
What leads me to believe it might be faked is if the cashier knew and was calling the police (as stated in the video), they can and should have hit the emergency stop for that pump; same thing they have to do if there's a fuel leak from one of them.
COVID brought the dumbest of us out of the woodworks.
People filling garbage bags and grocery bags full of gasoline was not (just) a meme. I saw it firsthand.
@The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world has been MIA for two weeks, and I miss their non-political shitposts so much.
Digging into my ancient stash of memes to fill the void.
Please come back, TPM.
Edit: Re-upload. Beltran should be facing the audience.
"Take Me Out to the Holosuite" didn't become my new favorite episode or anything, but I did enjoy it after years of skipping it because I got bored with the baseball plot the first time I saw it.
I also always skipped VOY: Initiations and had completely forgotten Aron Eisenberg was in that one until the last re-watch when I opted not to skip any episodes.
In a game that's all about decision-making aboard the U.S.S. 'Voyager,' of course players are going to be asked to tackle one of the most infamous decisions made in 'Star Trek.'
Last month, we were very excited to see the announcement of Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown, a new survival game from Daedelic Entertainment and Gamexcite that tasks you with charting the U.S.S. Voyager‘s journey home from the Delta Quadrant as you repair the ship in the wake of the event that flung it 70,000 light-years across space in the first place, and make your own decisions from the captain’s chair about where to go, who to fight, and who’s on your crew.
And yes, that means you will be able to decide whether or not there is justice for Tuvix.
...
Star Trek Voyager – Across the Unknown still doesn’t have a release window, but aside from being available to wishlist on Steam for PC players, it’s now been confirmed that the game is also coming to Xbox Series X and S as well as PS5.
Edit: Me after seeing all the Robet Dalys in the comments:
Context: I always wondered what the mural in Quark's was. Have read through the first two books of Deep Space 9: Millennium, and the novel offers two different (non-canon) possibilities. Also, it's difficult to meme from TrekLit, but I'm trying here.
Personally, it looks more like a Tholian to me but I like the implications of the alternative.
Mild Spoiler
Gul Dukat procured it when he was in charge of Terok Nor. It was so large, the only place it would fit was Quark's Bar, so that's where it went. Dukat was proud of it, thinking it was a slain Tholian admiral. Rom laughs and later tells Quark it's actually a depiction of Tellarite genitalia and is used to denote pleasure houses in the red light districts of Tellar Prime. Quark doesn't know who is right, but he and Rom always salute the "Admiral" as a joke.
King of the Hill pulled it off, so 🤞
