I mean conservatives have always been masquerading as (L)ibertarians since 1971 here in the US.
Just a sign that they are easily manipulated
Actual libertarianism is open border like you know people who want to do business here have every right to, and for those “illegals” that commit crimes you have the guns.
Fake libertarianism think it should be controlled…. Wait, by what government? :facepalm: xenophobic much?
It feels like I’ve been here forever but I’ve only been a part of Lemmy for less than 18 months.
I was on twitter since 2007 and hardly posted shit (400 posts in almost 20 fucking years), but when I switched to mastodon I felt like I had been there forever. 400 posts in less than a year.
I am really glad to see the communities thriving.

This is someone defending musk. They probably have no idea
That’s why it logically doesn’t make sense
I am 43 and finally living my best life thanks to a cocktail of psych meds, therapy, and support from my spouse and kids.

Star Trek TNG is 1987
small wonder
Punky brewster?
It's because it begins very young. I've seen my friend hit her SIX MONTH OLD because they reached out to grab glasses that she puts in front of her. To train up a child? some bullshit religious "child training" program is often used in religious communities.
More frequent parental punitive discipline was significantly associated with smaller dorsal striatal volume in children, consistent with research demonstrating striatal differences following exposure to severe early life stress. Moreover, these results are consistent with a growing body of research linking normative variation in parental care with children’s brain structure. They align more specifically with recent work linking negative parenting (e.g., aggressive behavior, hostility) with reward processing neuroanatomy in adolescents and frontal-striatal functional connectivity in children.
Smaller dorsal striatal volume was significantly associated with higher depressive symptoms in children, consistent with previous work that has mainly focused on MDD in adolescents or adults. Thus, this study extends previous work by showing similar associations in a community sample of children who did not have psychiatric diagnoses. These findings suggest that changes in striatal morphology may precede the onset of MDD, [Major depressive disorder] which typically occurs in adolescence or adulthood
Parental Punitive Discipline and Children’s Depressive Symptoms: Associations with Striatal Volume
People are literally damaging their children's brain by using punitive discipline / stressors.
"I got spanked and I'm ok" just is not true.
Day of defeat!!!!
I used to play so much of that with my now spouse lol
Strange New Worlds is a great starting point. SNW is set in the 5 year mission before Kirk's 5 year mission on the enterprise. There are some arcs that you might not get but it's not necessary to know what the episode is about because it is episodic. I watched the corresponding TOS / Discovery episodes with Captain Pike after I watched the SNW episodes to fill in the parts that I really didn't get but here is a list of the episodes I watched.
The Menagerie Part 1 and 2 (TOS) -> Through the Valley of Shadows (DIS) -> A quality of Mercy (SNW) -> Balance of Terror (TOS)
Picard season 3 is an absolute must if you watched next gen / DS9. For the whole season to make sense you'll probably want to watch the last 2 seasons of DS9. If you watch the last 2 episodes of picard season 3, watch TNG's best of both worlds part 1 & 2, All good things... (the series finale), and Voyager's Endgame (the series finale) it'll make more sense.
the last 2 seasons of DS9 is very political and heavy but many people say it's the best trek - however now SNW is getting close to taking the title.
~~Captain~~ Admiral janeway and captain chakotay. I was so excited about what’s in store for them but now….
I’m biased being JC shipper since 1995
I wanted to watch supernova again, my husband and I watched the “ghost in the machine” last night. We were too tired to watch others. This morning it’s gone.
I am so fucking pissed right now.
I waited in line at the fountain valley fry’s.
43 here lol
