Madison_rogue OP , 10 months ago to Politics in [News] Trump says he will skip GOP presidential primary debates

Trump has also repeatedly criticized Fox, the host of the Aug. 23 primetime event, insisting it is a “hostile network” that he believes will not treat him fairly.

Boohoo...news station treat orange man "unfairly."

That case went only to appeal. You bet that Trump will take the case to SCOTUS. How do you think they'll judge the case considering Trump gave them the conservative supermajority they now enjoy?

That's because it's A. implied, and B. covered by the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendment. Legally, Trump did not commit insurrection until it's proven in court. Then he is ineligible. He has the right of Due Process, and Presumption of Innocence.

I don't know; I don't go on Reddit any longer.

That said, r/worldnews was very pro-Ukraine. It could be that subreddit the Russians are referring to as well.

Putin might find some old Soviet Era Roubles underneath his grandmother's floorboards. It might be worth more than current Roubles.

To be fair with Ortegas they lean heavily into the thrill seeking flyboy archetype.

They do, but man an Erica Ortegas centered episode would be awesome. I would love to have an episode where we aren't reminded that "Hi, my name is Erica Ortegas; I fly the ship." Because at this point it feels like it's trolling the audience.

And considering the way the season ended, there's no guarantee that Ortegas makes it through alive. She's one of the few characters that doesn't have plot armor if TOS canon is to stand relatively unaltered.

Let hbomberguy tell you how Sherlock is bad by talking about it for what feels like an entire season of Sherlock.

Madison_rogue , 10 months ago to Star Trek in Star Trek executive producer wants more Strange New Worlds episodes, and I’m nervous

While I understand your hesitation, I definitely believe there could have been at least five more relevant episodes in Season 2. This season was overall character driven instead of a "planet of the week" format we've seen before. So, there could have been some extra episodes that extrapolated on the seasonal Gorn arc, or an Ortegas episode, or a Pelia episode. There's a lot of potential to provide spanning character and seasonal arcs while delivering episodes from different planets over a 15 episode season.

I definitely believe 20 episodes is pushing it, but a 12-15 episode season could work if the stories are laid out well.

Reddit may have won...

Now let's outline how they really lost in the rest of the article.

I knew Sean was going to give a down for that as soon as he mentioned it. You can tell by his inflection just where he’s going with it.

I’ve been watching his videos way too much…

Madison_rogue , 10 months ago to RedditMigration in I love kbin but the login bug persists and I can't take it anymore

I use Firefox on mobile to access currently; I'll switch over to Artemis after kbin.social instance is available. With Firefox I do experience logout from time to time, however I have my password and username autosaved, so login is as simple as a click.

It's not really annoying at all, and quite frankly it's much better then enriching that Reddit asshat.

Just more than half a decade? I've been shaking my head for well over 20 years.

Madison_rogue , 10 months ago to Fediverse in Lemmy and Kbin: The Best Reddit Alternatives?

I was initially put off by the UI of Lemmy that I encountered when I first went to the Lemmy site. I was a little confused as to which instance to join. That's when I stumbled upon kbin.social and that's where I landed my new account. Overall I am most comfortable here.

Since joining, I've encountered Lemmy posts that take me to their instances proper, and the formatting looked different, more like here just with a different colored background. Overall, Lemmy instances seem okay, I just like it here better.

Maybe it's the overall familiarity with the instance, calling main topic pages "magazines," the microblogging option, etc. Lemmy's resemblance is a little closer to Reddit, so that might account for why people decided to go there instead of a kbin instance.

Madison_rogue , 10 months ago to Politics in [News] Trump's court appearances should be nationally televised, Adam Schiff says

I’m concerned it would turn into a circus, and work to his benefit. Alt-right news outlets and talking heads will have a field day, and define the narrative.

I mean did anyone pay attention to how the Muller probe changed Trump supporters’ minds overall? Because that didn’t happen at all.

Giving Trump any additional platform is a bad idea.
