  This is a very stupid sentiment. Are you familiar with Iran?

  Hey, I’m not sure if you know how un accepting your snarky jab is. It’s very un trek like.

  I’m also not sure you appreciate how important representation is. It is very important that people see and read themselves in stories. It could save someone’s life. That importance cannot be understated or taken for granted.

  This was likely tailored to the demographic that Picard serves.

  Society is slowly crawling out of hetero normative times, where it is thankfully starting to be more common than ever to see diverse identity mainstream.

  Millennials still have a streak of heteronormative thinking and cynicism, but hopefully they are one of the last generations to experience the closet.

  Very cool timeline!

  I found one error: Star Wars was released 5/25/77 not 23rd.

  In a situation like this, for broad illustrative purpose, no big deal. And I really love this journey that’s been charted. However as a Sci Fi fan looking to learn, and one who knew this date immediately, though not others, I just wonder about the correctness of other data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Privacy Guide recommend software. Get them Cheaper (Black Friday)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I see, thanks. Just a bit confusing on the wording.

  Only one Proton product is steeply discounted in tiers: the VPN. For 2.5 years it’s 60% off, 1.5 years 52%, and one month is 10%.

  Everything else is 33% off for 1 year.

  Turns out she is like several comedians and actors: fine as long you didn’t know them as people. Then they disappointed.

  Like most professions, there are some people who use their platform and profile for good. Then there are those who are self interested and warped.

  I only see 33% off bf deals on Proton’s website. Am I missing something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using Facebook/Meta Messenger on Android⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wild! Thanks for checking up and following up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using Facebook/Meta Messenger on Android⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  A long time ago I used an app called Tinfoil Facebook that created a sandbox web browser style situation in the app. Gave it a nice UI and did not leave a trace. Switched to iPhone at some point. I wonder if it’s still around…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm sorry but Very Short Treks is horrible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought Discovery was like that somewhat. It could have been smarter though imo. Less cinematic.

  I guess the days of slower paced episodes allowing for reasoning with silence here and there are gone.

  Please update us if you get the dictionary out!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paramount+ Brings Star Trek: Lower Decks to New York Comic Con on October 14⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are you saying that here? Likely few of us are guild. Do you mean don’t go to NYCCC?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s really irritating but some websites only work on Chrome for me. They range from work related to Google Meet instances. I only use it then but yeah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cigna health giant accused of improperly rejecting thousands of patient claims using an algorithm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Same.

  You don’t make money by spending it… apparently. Which is why all health care should be a right not a luxury. Not profit driven.

  Do you have suggestions on what might be more appropriate tools? What “punishment” may look like?
