Yeah... Red background, white circle, black symbol.

I would not fly this flag, if only to avoid confusion with another, infamous flag.

Those are Mormons.

What about Timmy Turner?

I feel like having fairy god parents would make pope duties a lot easier. Make his blessings a bit more potent.

Aww, shit.

Check out https://startrek.website. I don't know much about the fediverse, but if you're a Star Trek fan, it's a decent community. Bit quiet in between new seasons.

We found the Spiders Georg of liberal women.

But in all seriousness, how could a woman perceive the conservative agenda and NOT become more liberal in response?!

Oppression kink?

Even if the Supreme Court upholds the removal of Trump from the Colorado ballot, it isn't immediately over for him, unfortunately. He won in 2016 without Colorado.

That said, it would be a precedent, and other Secretaries of State could start removing him with confidence. The question remains: would enough states remove him to make winning impossible? Which is to ask: how many battleground states (or even red states) would remove him?

Welcome to the Hotel Pattern Buffer.

Reminds me of TomSka's "The Hole" sketches.

I'm far left [...]

entire post history on Lemmy is articles with centrist or pro-Trump messages

Cool.

That is the problem with representative democracy when each rep accounts for nearly a million citizens. You're at the whims of such a massive voting base. Name recognition is pretty much the only thing that matters at that scale.

It's like modern marketing and advertising. Half the time, they don't even say anything about their service. They just want you to remember the name and recognize the logo if you see it in a store.

For that very reason, I sometimes imagine a world where public office is handled like jury duty, picked semi-randomly.

According to this, there is some inconsistency in how the abbreviations are done across various sites. Some use LOW, some use LD or LDS.

Yeah, according to this, there is some inconsistency in how the abbreviations are done across various sites. Some use LOW, some use LD or LDS.

But, as you said, "ST" is never used as part of the abbreviation for a show, only movies.

"Donald Trump is a scab."

Trump would be a scab, but he's never worked a day in his life.

Should Jon Stewart run for POTUS? No.

Would I vote for Jon Stewart if he ran for POTUS? Probably.

This says less about my faith in Jon's ability to govern, and more about my lack of faith in current politicians to lead ethically.

I'd rather see Jon make the right decisions but make mistakes, than to see a seasoned politician make the wrong decisions and execute them competently.

I at least have faith Jon is smart enough and with a true compassion in his heart, that he'd be able to surround himself with real experts, listen open mindedly to their advice, and regularly make decisions with empathy.

All that said, he's said repeatedly he doesn't want that job, and I do not blame him.

Yeah, I agree with you that anyone abbreviating Discovery as "STD" is doing it just to be obtuse. That said, the abbreviation rules aren't quite as consistent as I'd like.

1. If it's the original Star Trek series, it's abbreviated TOS (The Original Series).
2. If it's a spin off with a multi-word subtitle (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds), it's abbreviated as an initialism of the subtitle (TNG, DS9, SNW).
3. If it's a spin off with a single-word subtitle (Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: Prodigy), it's abbreviated with the first three letters of the subtitle (VOY, ENT, PRO).

There are two series which violate these rules.

1. Discovery violates rule 3 by being abbreviated as DSC, instead of DIS.
2. Lower Decks violates rule 2 by being abbreviated LOW, instead of LD.

I don't know the music video, but this might help: Wikipedia - Recursive islands and lakes.

But second girl only ever sees how first girl acts when she is around (regardless of who else is there). That's how perception works. She can't see how first girl acts when she's not there, because she wouldn't be there to see it.
