Having run out of my previous set of late night easy viewing media, I recently started watching The Next Generation. Was surprised to discover it is actually a fun show (even the supposedly terrible first season), provided you enjoy the veneer of mild campiness inherent to television of the 80's-90's.

The show is also giving me hope that societal progress can never be stopped, since people were able to imagine this sort of reality in much more restrictive times than we have today. I just hope they're wrong about World War 3 beginning in 2026 🥲

I did not mean 'left to block', just 'left in the feed'

[–] yokonzo@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Yeah that's what I assumed you meant

You haven't already? I grew up with that shit.

I mean, I used to watch some of the original one with captain kirk when I was young, but I never saw tng and all I had was cable and ADHD so I never was good at sticking to series

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I really like Voyager actually. TNG is probably objectively the best though. With you on the ADHD though.

I mean it's better now but like most brain things, it's pretty bad as a kid, might check out both

doesn't spider cover spiders? Does it look for whole words?

[–] yokonzo@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

Noooooo, straight literal string I believe, I learned that the hard way

But then wouldn’t you want to put democrats and conservatives and kamalas?

[–] yokonzo@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

I mean I usually don't bother adding it until it comes up

Peace or delusion? Like it or not some of those things are going to be affecting your every day life.

Lemmy isn’t the primary source of information for most people.

[–] Mastersmacks@reddthat.com 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Why are you so fixated on what others want to see in their Lemmy feed? I see politics everywhere else, I don't want to see them here, I may start blocking as well

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know if I would call a single comment on the matter, ever, as "fixated".

[–] Mastersmacks@reddthat.com 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Someone who didn't care at all wouldn't bother to comment and call someone delusional then proceed to reply to every following thread, I think fixated is pretty apt

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 hours ago

We have different definitions of fixated then, friend. I consider replying a matter on carrying on a civil conversation, but I'll note that it can also apparently be a sign of fixation.

[–] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

How is that delusional? Blocking out stressors is perfectly reasonable. Yeah you miss out on some relevant news, but lower stress might be worth it.

People in the current year literally believe this

You know that there are at least several people in the world who are not Americans, right?

You know that the US is a leading world power that can affect other places, right? I'm not even in the US, myself.

[–] Object@sh.itjust.works 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Just because it affects us doesn't mean everything has to be about it all the damn time. Besides, it doesn't affect us all equally.
