The city should fine the fuck out of NBCUniversal for the full cost of replacing those trees. Those are not healthy trees.

He was president for four years. He ran on making the place great again (?). Why didn't he? Golf was more important?

Religion is exploited by actual sociopaths to justify their behavior.

You know why they think that. They believe, truly, that God made the world for man to exploit and use up, and anyone who says otherwise is spouting the Devil's lies.

Some will claim to believe that it doesn't matter one way or the other, that this is the only life we have, and that there's no point in sacrificing our own joy for the future of others. This apathetic stance is held by many, but it is wielded as a shield and reinforced by those who believe that Earth is just a toy for us to have fun with and break, but won't say it openly.

Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, this conflict is a religious one, and anyone who denies that is only enabling the wingnuts destroying this planet.

Since we're all asking for various content filters, can I kindly request that all posts about this woman have an NSFW tag so I don't have to see that face in my feed?

Unsubscribing to dank memes would be a good start.

Short for 'munities.

They orbit the central world of the instance.

Highly recommended podcast for anyone who loves film scores or music in general. The host is a sound designer & editor for Skywalker Sound, has done extensive sound work for Lucasfilm and Lucasarts games, and is also a prolific voice actor appearing in dozens of animated series and video games. He brings his sonic expertise to bear in analyzing the great scores of cinema and other media, from Jaws to Tron to Super Mario Bros. & Zelda. It's an incredibly well-produced show that sounds great and will always leave you feeling enriched and entertained.

In these two latest episodes, he takes a great deep dive into the music of Star Trek, the original series. It's a detailed look at an underappreciated aspect of the franchise, with archive interviews from people like Nimoy and Roddenberry, many many sound clips, and lots of insightful commentary.

One fun tidbit from this episode: Alexander Courage himself made the sound of the Enterprise whooshing past during the opening credits.

Do people generally pay much attention to usernames anyway? One of the things that attracted me to old-school forums, then reddit, and now the feddiverse is the decentralized anonymity. It's all just voices, and they're all treated as equal, though you can still look at their histories or profiles and get more context if you want. I like that it's not front-facing. The ideas come first, and personality is secondary.

I'm still missing a lot of the niche communities that haven't cropped up here yet, but this instance and the USS Hood discord have been a diverting replacement.

Canceling it is one thing. Pulling the show down from the service is absolutely abhorrent behavior.

Can't stand to run myself, but I love a good running scene in a movie, and I can't think of anyone who has more of them than Tom Cruise -- except for Buster Keaton. He's got such an incredible clumsy grace to him, if that makes any sense. Who's your favorite film runner or favorite running scene?
