Yeah everyone had to be hard against getting high and drinking even one drop of alcohol in the ‘80s and ‘90s.

Wasn’t the mom like ‘I smoked pot when I was your age but you’re not allowed to!’?

I remember that happening in an episode of Roseanne in the 90s. Must have been a sit come staple that decade.

The best part of that is that it was originally going to be alcohol but due to Tim Allen earning himself a DUI like right before they filmed the episode they scrapped it for pot instead.

“I don’t know what happens when people get corrupted,” says former drug trafficker Tim Allen.

‘The Cage’ takes place several years before these events, so no, Una does not have plot armor. (Except for the fact of her appearing in the trailer for season 2)

Nor is she still on the Enterprise during the events of ‘The Menagerie’.

[Pike was briefly reunited with Vena during his time on Discovery]

While I knew the constraints of canon, which long time fans of the franchise are burdened with knowing, this episode did a great job of making it feel like Una could lose. If you think about any of the previous courtroom episodes logically, none of them could end with a main character getting imprisoned, so the…

Now, finally, I have a place to post all of those screenshots I took from Oliver’s piece about AI image generators.

But why does the CEO remain so defiant? It’s not about the whims of the mods and the third party devs.

Reddit is a business - they are making a business decision. They owe NO ONE anything other than their investors.

I’m sure im in the minority here, but fuck the mod’s. Most of them from my experience on the larger sub’s are condescending dickheads. If you dont want to do the job, then dont do it.. its volunteer work, no one is forcing you to do it. Reddit exists to make money - they are a company, if you are willing to volunteer…

I don’t care for Reddit and I don’t participate there as a user. I won’t use an app to access it in any case, but sometimes Reddit is the only platform where I can find information on a topic.

I mean, I don’t really have a dog in this fight, I understand that most people don’t like the Reddit app but that’s what I use. I get the complaints about the lack of accessibility, but I also get the other side to a degree, that these APIs are a drain on servers.

Based on my understanding, the only ground the boycott has regarding any of the issues is the pricing of APIs for Apollo. Reddit was losing money on ad revenue to Apollo, losing opportunity funds because Apollo had a paid premium version they were making money on, and providing Apollo the API resources for free.…

Ehhh.....they are a bit like landed gentry, tbh. And some do a pretty good job. Others are lazy. Others are tinpot dictators who like to ban people and lock discussion threads.

From what I understand, a major complaint of the mods was that the 3rd party tools are far better for moderation than Reddit-native, but Reddit has now acquiesced on demands to allow those tools to continue using available APIs for no charge.

Ah, well my bad then! I had a memory of reading they bought Reddit some years back - must have been some other website or other instead.

I’m on Reddit’s side on this. Why should they let 3rd parties do whatever they want, and present however they want, with their data? Don’t like Reddit? Don’t use it! End this stupid blackout.

Meh, I’m a guy that hates everything and likes to be edgy!

I wonder how the streaming services handle the writing strike, since their deadlines aren’t constrained by linear television seasons and especially in the case of Star Wars D+ series, can and have been pushed back multiple times, just to fit in with other big drops like Marvel and/or the timing of Star Wars…
