For SNW, I don’t think it matters beyond preference. A few other comments suggest watching it before TNG, and that makes sense. Same for ENT, for that matter. I just lump it in with the TNG era since it’s also by Berman/Bragga.

Probably at the point they went to the app store, searched TikTok, and clicked “install”.

I was late to the party, so my initial watch order was all kinds of messed up. I went DIS -> LD -> VOY -> DS9 -> TNG -> VOY (again) -> ENT -> SNW. Sadly, have only seen bits and pieces of TOS (and only GIFs of TAS).

Definitely recommend watching the TNG era in order: TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT and then doubling back to watch Lower Decks again (because why not lol). I also recommend watching Prodigy after VOY since it’s basically VOY season 8/9. SNW is a spinoff from DIS, so I’d watch at least seasons 1-2 of DIS before SNW.

Prodigy is a kid’s show, but please don’t let that turn you away. It’s pretty great.

Colloquially, it means we’ll hopefully stop seeing “AI” shoved into every nook and cranny of every piece of software to tick a buzzword box.

I stopped eating fast food during covid and never got back into it.

The one time, post covid, I was out and stopped to eat, it was gross. But it’d been so long, I genuinely don’t know if it had always been gross and I lost my acclimation to it, or if it was actually more gross than it used to be.

Anecdotally, I’ve heard complaints online that the quality has gone down while the prices went up, so it probably has gotten worse.

The only one I can really see is !statistics@lemmy.world but it doesn’t appear to be active at all. The only moderator for it hasn’t posted anything in a year or so.

Looks like some “if you build it, they will come” is needed.

Not sure of the procedure, but you may reach out to the LW admins to see about taking over the community if the mod is confirmed AWOL.

Tuberville defended Trump’s right to choose his team, urging senators to “vote with President Trump.”

The same Tuberville that held up more than 300 of Biden’s non-political military promotions now thinks nominations should just get a rubber stamp?

The sad thing is, it works for both.

I blocked most of them over the last year because the lion’s share of them seemed very disingenuous. i.e. they’re here only to screech about a wedge issue during an election season, to use it as a bludgeon to universally bash anyone they disagree with, and generally doing nothing but stirring up shit.

I’ve heard other people mention recently that those accounts have apparently gone silent.

So, let this be a lesson for the next election if we’re fortunate enough to have one: If an account does nothing but screech about a wedge issue, just block them. Mods would be wise to take a closer look at those accounts, too.

That’s why I’m trying to block out all this and enjoy this last month and a half as best I can.

Ok, so tangent from that: how is her name pronounced?

I’ve only ever read it, so I’ve pronounced it “Madge-ul”. But “Mage-ul” also sounds right. And then Lower Decks Prodigy has a character named Ma’Jel which also sounds right lol.

I have several old Android phones sitting in a drawer. They’ve just been given a glorious purpose.

But the Democrats didn’t reach out to me, personally, and massage my feet while talking to me about my pet issue! So, really, there’s plenty of blame to share. /s

Do you really think he changed his stance since then?

He’s also the new US ambassador to Israel. That’s from 2 hours ago.

And to make this even more ridiculous than it already is, they’re calling this board the “warrior board”.

If Donald Trump approves the order, it could fast-track the removal of generals and admirals found to be “lacking in requisite leadership qualities,” … But it could also create a chilling effect on top military officers, given the president-elect’s past vow to fire “woke generals,” referring to officers seen as promoting diversity in the ranks at the expense of military readiness.

As commander in chief, Trump can fire any officer at will, but an outside board whose members he appoints would bypass the Pentagon’s regular promotion system, signaling across the military that he intends to purge a number of generals and admirals.

…

But some former officials believe the potential Trump administration is looking to politicize the military. “Do they start wearing MAGA hats in formation to signal who’s where?” asked one former senior Pentagon official. “The potential for this to go wrong is infinite.”

Emphases mine.

If you don’t look too close at it…

Good job everyone who sat out or voted 3rd party this election. You saved Palestine!

Considering Changelings can survive the vacuum of space (or at least shift into the form of something that can), Odo’s probably happy for the peace and solitude.

If the Keikos and the Winns get together, the group they comprise is officially known as a Homeowner’s Association.
