If I'm not mistaken, Kutcher's letter actually referenced the verdict.

TNG is a good entry point, but the first two seasons can be rough. Feel free to skip them if they're on the verge of turning you off the series entirely.

The best part is when the publisher shuts down the server on their end so the game breaks even if you are connected to the internet. I'm still waiting for Blood Dragon to get a patch to remove the periodic calls home, but it doesn't seem likely at this point

I like to say "before the turn of the century", but someone always gives me shit for it.

To be fair, the hand wringing activities around exploding heads probably included a lot of soul searching and deciding what is and is not important to the admins. Stands to reason that having learned and made some decisions from that would make the process faster next time around.

The parents are happy, because this means they can get paid for sending their kids to what they consider daycare.

It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage.

I still remember the first time someone told me about EverQuest. I legit thought they were trying to trick me.

15 years for me. I'm not the type to go scorched earth, so I'll still pop in briefly from time to time from a Google search or to look for something specific, but I don't use Reddit for near-constant idle browsing anymore, like I used to. Now I have Lemmy for that, although it would probably be healthier to just cut out social media altogether (or severely reduce it).

It's true, but it only applies to the stuff you don't want there anymore.

Like the anchor tenant of a shopping mall.

This is why I'm glad I made redundant accounts on multiple instances. When there are problems on lemmy.world, I can just hop on over to another. That's never been an option with Reddit.

Now if there was only a way to export or sync user settings like subscriptions, it would be perfect.

 

My main account is on Lemmy.World, but suddenly every time I try to go to the main page I get redirected to a single frame of a video with some guy subtitled to say something unpleasant about children. I also got sent to lemon party once.

Lemm.ee is working fine, so I'm guessing it's not a problem on my end. The last thing I saw/clicked on before this behavior was what looked like an official post about threads.net being whitelisted, which makes it tempting to speculate about overzealous Lemmy users hacking the site as a form of protest. No idea if that's actually the case, though.
