Agreed lemme is probably one of the most negative places on the Internet. I joined because I was hoping this place would grow to be a proper alternative for Reddit, with fun niche content, and its own culture of obscure inside jokes. Instead even after several years it still feels like we are the angry trolls living under reddit’s shadow.

One of the biggest things I’ve found that helped me avoid the politics was to leave lemme.world and fill my personal feed up with subscriptions to content that fits my interest. Politics has ways of working its way into content none the less, but at least I’ve got a fighting chance.

I really do believe lemme is going to struggle to find people who want to stick around unless it starts to embrace fun light hearted content. I’m not sure how we’d do that as a platform, but I do believe that’s one of the big reasons people will struggle to adopt this corner of the Internet as their own.

Respectfully, the problem with that line of thinking is it’s effectively based on a strawman. Veganism is not about perfectionism, nor is it about living like some monk in the woods who does not harm a single blade of grass. Veganism is about not viewing animals as commodities and reducing as much harm is reasonably possible.

The problem with modern supply chains is that you can’t know every detail about the goods you are purchasing, so vegans make decisions based on what they know, it’s common for vegans to accidentally purchase a product with animal products. So you just go oops and try better next time. It’s not really as complicated as you are making out to be in your head.

But to directly answer your question how do you avoid food that have been grown with things like feather meal and manure? The answer is simple but a lot of people aren’t going to like it. You avoid buying organic, and if possible you support local farmers which grow in a way which aligns with your values. And if you can, start a garden and grow some of your own food.

Today is a good day to sausage.

You’re right, I’m really confused by the treatment of Wesley in Picard. Like he weirdly, inexplicably shows up at the tail end of season 2, and doesn’t interact with Picard. Then in season 3, when it would have made a lot of sense for him to come up in conversation they just ignored him. Minimally you’d think at some point, someone would have asked why on earth does Beverly keep popping out kids with super powers?

This is EVEN MORE CONFUSING when you realize Wil Wheaton worked for Secret Hideout and was hosting the Picard “after show”. Which means they could have just asked Wil to make a cameo as Wesley, but they chose not to.

I mean there are a lot of issues with the TMP, it was an odd script likely because it was written by a man who never really worked in movies prior (only television to my knowledge) and rather than being written from it’s inception as a two hour movie it was also adapted from a pilot of a television series, which all makes it feel kind of klunky with odd pacing.

That said recutting the movie into a 22 min streamlined version makes a lot of sense to me, no fluff only plot.

That’s what scrolling through the web in the late 90’s/early 2000’s felt like. I legitimately can’t tell if that page felt nostalgic or if it was seizure inducing.

That’s Jennifer Lien, aka Kes only without her atrocious short wig.

Same, I’m also a dev who prefers working off a notebook screen. This fact boggles the minds of my coworkers, especially my boss who seems mortally offended that I only work on one screen.

I guess that means I’ve broken the social norms of a corporate slave?

Honestly canonically speaking we don’t know much about Number One after she left the Enterprise, at some point she may have ended up working at Daystrom, where in a shift in career trajectory she went on to develop computer systems and ended up becoming the system that they use in the 24th.

Or maybe she became so revered that they honored her by using her voice as the computer systems.

Long story short this kind of makes a lot of sense in my own personal head canon.

Except for mangos! I can’t eat a ripe mango without getting half of it stuck in-between my teeth.
