I wouldn’t be surprised if the original joke goes back to the silent movie era.

Best webcomic I’ve read in a while. The intrinsic hilarity of the situation was ridiculously refreshing compared to the usual ‘straining to come up with something funny / clever.’

Seems like millions of redditors say just that through the many slaps in the face to users, then hang around anyway. :S

Oh, rabbits!

Well, if you’re looking for absolute perfection in a ST theme, good luck. It’s not like Mike Post or John Williams were writing these suckers.

That said, I thought Alexander Courage did a hell of a job on the original.

I find it ever-so-slightly pompous with all the horns, but otherwise, a cool remix of the original theme.

Roddenberry from what I’ve read in multiple places sounded like a huge asshole to me, and nowhere near the ‘Great Bird of the Galaxy’ he liked to self-label himself as. Now yes, a very talented asshole, whose vision started the franchise, and certainly who put in much work on TOS (along with many other talents), but nevertheless a real PITA on a personal level who wound up burning most of his bridges.

Point is-- if Meyer lost his cool with him as a young guy, I wouldn’t be very surprised.

@wjrii@lemmy.world

Umm… whoah

Oof. I think you’re right (2wks later, dangit!), Eiim.
Sorry about that. :S

@Servais@discuss.tchncs.de @discuss.tchncs.de, that was rude of me, and I apologise.

FWIW, I’ve posted a general apology in our sub’s general update if you care to look. Sorry again.

@Comment105@lemm.ee,

I’d personally attack you with something far worse than a silly goose. If I was on my reddit account!

Hmm, what do you think about rabbits instead of geese…?

Unfortunately for us fans, it looks like Callery Kearns may have retired. Maybe you know something more?

And… what symmetry would THAT be, dude?

German and Dutch are very close languages, but in complete different places in this tree.

So maybe we could use a better platform for understanding? (hence my original point?)

(Modern German and Dutch are both from the West-Germanic tree, last I checked)

specific graphems

Okay, fine, granted-- but how does that actually help anyone in this day & age learn about these languages?

AS IN– dude, we don’t need to carry a master’s degree in order to understand how English formed out of Anglo-Saxon, with Norman French overlaid on top, now do we?

EDIT: Oh rabbits, no, it’s ME whose wrong. Whups…

It’s been a long, loooong time since I’ve uttered these words, but: THAT ABSOLUTELY KICKS ASS. (or Romulan pastrami, whatever)

Now, there’s always going to be a quibble, so here’s mine: Leonard Nimoy was about 6’ in actual height, and I believe Jon Frakes is about 6’3" - 6’4," right around Michael Dorn’s height, for example.

Still-- I get it. If the artist is trying to suggest the outsized influence of Spock, I understand. I mean, Shatner was utterly magnificent in his role, but Nimoy was also right there with him, a brilliant, iconic presence that helped turn TOS in to what might have otherwise been “Lost in Space.”

Seriously.

Now I’m no scholar, but categorising English as part of the Celtic-branch is just ridoinkulous to me. Like-- that might have been true since before the Roman conquest, but Modern English is easily a West-Germanic branch, overlaid with Norman French, starting in 1066.

Late reply, but this is probably very similar to what most humans ate historically. Just little bits of this and that, smoked / dried / ground, etc. Before the age of agriculture, bread and beer.

if it’s once a year. If we did it every night…

Around here (MidWest city), fireworks go off every night for a month before, and then a month after the fourth. And I don’t mean a small amount, either. More like some version of the Vietnam War. It’s nuts.

Basically, most of summer is devoted to fireworks play, with the fourth being a deluxe version of the “fun.”

you’re claiming that they’re misusing the anti-CSAM feature to remove comments from the modlog

Right, that was one aspect of that, but at the end of the day?

What ML has clearly done is to fuck with the integrity of the Lemmy-sphere across multiple, fundamental levels, and that’s what I and many others find completely unacceptable, and have of course stated as much.

Seriously, how is it even possible that you’re browsing the FV and haven’t seen this shit…?

Yes, yes-- I get the fact that you’re a ‘self-declared weirdo!’ “Big proponent for killing all cis men! Token Trotskyite!”

You DO understand of course that civilisation is collapsing fast, much of it due to our bloody inactions, is it not…?

Absolutely.
I will make it a special point tomorrow to look up the many, many posts upon that matter made in the last couple days across the FV.

One also wonders what people like you were doing in the meantime, but never fear-- please DO add on with any more requests for such information in the coming days. I will be happy to do the lookups and get back to you. ^^

as far as im aware there is no evidence that anyone has misused this specific admin power

In that case, then congrats for living in your own little delirium, apart from the many, many reports people have made reporting those specific abuses.

Well then, good for you.

Meanwhile, there’s been a legion of solid users here pointing out across the FV that the ML has in fact been abusing its admin powers, or did you think that the whataboutism of CSA would somehow, magically erase that shizzle?

If so, then shame on you.
