Sarek felt that he could have demonstrated more affection towards his human wife in a way that was meaningful to her. That is not the same thing as saying that Vulcan culture is unaffectionate, or that other Vulcans would consider Sarek as not affectionate.
OP is referring to Vulcan culture. Sarek’s displays of affection would probably not be considered “restrained” in a Vulcan-Vulcan relationship.
Good advice, also Fedora’s “atomic” distros are both bleeding edge and extremely stable!
I agree with you completely. No disrespect to Mint, but immutability is (IMO) possibly the most important advancement for Linux adoption in its entire history. I would love to see more distros release immutable versions.
I don’t know if it’s correct to say that Vulcan culture is unaffectionate, just thay they don’t express affection in the way you are used to. Remember: Spock was played the way he was in the 1960s to demonstrate the distance humans are willing to go to tolerate other cultures, no matter how (literally in this case) alien.
There’s definitely a lot to unpack in suggesting that their culture deserves to “fail” because they do not assimilate (lol) into your culture.
I know what some of those words mean!
Your points are all correct, but I feel it’s also important to remember that nobody owns and operates “Lemmy”. It’s entirely volunteer operated and while it has two full-time devs, they’re paid by donations (and not very much). There is no budget or UX/UI department to do A/B onboarding testing or anything.
What I’m saying is that if there is something you feel needs changing nobody would stop you (in fact they would welcome you!) from rolling up your sleeves and trying to address it (like @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com is doing with this community)!
I honestly don’t bother with trying to explain what an “instance” is to people interested in leaving Reddit. I just say “get the app” since most users are on their phones anyway. The only time a new user needs to know about any decentralized/federation stuff is if they’re using a web browser, where, yeah, it can be confusing. But apps hide all federation stuff. Just download it, make an account, and follow communities (or people in Mastodon’s case).
Also thank you for sharing your perspective as a newbie in this community it’s very helpful!
A truly feminist society would allow women to choose a traditional gender role but not force it upon them.
I did not realize you were OP (or even had a Lemmy account) 😂
I love the TOS Mudd episodes (and Roger Carmel’s performance) but I have to agree with everything you said.
Mastodon has more of a flat structure and is designed to be more conversational which is why I think it hasn’t caught on amongst celebrities and the pundit class. It’s great for conversation but only so-so at self promotion.
@rysiek@mstdn.social’s blog is one of my favorites. He really understand the social aspect to a lot of modern technology.
Same. I have a hard time not pulling that slot machine wheel if it’s there. It’s nice to have a feed of just the topics I requested from the communities I know are well moderated. Despite spending less time and consuming less content I actually feel more informed.
We out here shilling for Big Lemmy
I’m still waiting on an Okana spinoff simply titled Star Trek: Outrageous
Artist: “I made this from bits of my soul tied together with leftover trauma and the memory of my childhood home”
Reddit:
Honestly curious… what exactly are you doing in a community who’s stated goal is to evangelize the Lemmy network?
I think it would have been cool to have 1 or 2 Kazon episodes, and then maybe a surprise one or two seasons later when Voyager discovers they had been followed or something. But it was just not a good idea to try and make them the main antagonists as long as they did.
