Kira doesn’t care about regulations

To be fair, I think he’s just regular fluid

Some still are. Bigelow I think.

But loose leaf tea is much better quality anyway and avoids the issue of what’s in the bag entirely. They also have ceramic filters so you can completely avoid having plastic in contact with hot water

No, it’s not excuses, it’s just reality. It’s hard. Does that mean people shouldn’t try to do better and make things better? Of course not. Being better and doing better is hard, and we should do it anyway. That kind of personal growth is central to the human experience, or it ought to be.

The thing is, just because people aren’t doing better in the area that you understand and care about doesn’t mean that they aren’t in other areas that you may not know about.

For example, someone who is stressed out and overburdened with work may be using all of their available energy to be a better parent and make sure that their child is raised in a healthy and emotionally stable home. If that doesn’t leave room for people to support FOSS and privacy friendly browsers that’s ok.

Just be the best human you can be every day and don’t beat yourself (or others) up for not being perfect.

It’s not really the time. It’s more about the mental effort it takes to find out what to switch to.

Sure, it’s easy to install Firefox or sign up for Lemmy once you know that it’s there, but most people just have a sense that things suck with no idea of what they can do to fix it.

Finding out what to do to have a better experience takes a non-trivial amount of mental energy that scrolling reddit and instagram do not require.

The constant hustle, multiple jobs, or jobs with a high mental load, rising prices and stagnant wages all work together to create a lot of decision fatigue and stress. It often takes something major to get people out of that and get them active at changing things.

You’re the best!

Thanks for following up! That is really interesting

Sounds good! It’s definitely been a while since I watched that episode. We are currently re-watching TNG and I really don’t feel like taking a break from that to watch DSC lol. No offence, Dr Stamets 😅

It was kind of talked about on Discovery with Georgiou after they went to the future. The universes were drifting apart, and because the mirror universe was no longer aligned with the primer universe in whatever year Discovery ended up in, Georgiou was not able to maintain cohesion and had to go back in time. link

I may be misremembering headcannon as an actual line from the episode but I seem to remember hearing that the mirror universe was the one that was the closest to them on the space time continuum. The fact that they were both aligned is why people could travel between them and not others.

Yeah, just manually

I don’t know, I’d have to check the database. I add to it every once in a while so it keeps growing. I think I started with around 20 or so

I made a website for my wife with a list of a ton of reasons why I love her and each time she taps the screen it shows a new one.

So… that is a thing you can do for the cost of a domain name and some cheap hosting.

There are four lights!

Not sure if I’m missing something but I do not have that last scene at all. I even rewatched the last few minutes and I do not see the gorn hatching. The last I see of Batel is Chapel engaging the stasis field, her arm squirming a bit, and that’s it. The actual last scene for me is Pike on the bridge unable to give orders. Are there multiple versions of the episodes?

I got a friend with that in Destiny 2 just a couple years ago. I guess when you’ve been playing for hours and you ask how to take a screenshot, you don’t put 2 and 2 together quick enough
