Uncertain.

One of Biden’s campaign promises was student loan forgiveness, and while we can thank Republicans for gutting it in its tracks, pursuit of it didn’t really happen until it was advantageous with election season.

Likewise, Biden was initially against the rail strike, but seeing as unions have become a voter issue, it’s important to clean that image.

I’m glad Biden is supporting the Auto workers strike. But I want to see that support continue after it’s politically advantageous before I conclude he’s had a change of heart.

At almost a year later.

While I appreciate the change in tune, I’m certainly not taking this at face value after the rail strike.

Glad to see this show sprouting on another platform. Easily the most underrated Trek of the new era.

Lower Decks has been really good about that in general. SNW too for that matter.

Prodigy did dip into it, but there was plenty of build up and rarely dwelt in it for too long.

Hahaha!

In my defense, McMahan and his crew always give us something extraordinary that defies expectations. Cranky Lower Deckers who never developed into anything more seemed pedestrian by comparison.

Po-tah-to?

The article keeps mentioning a “glimmer of hope” but that glimmer is just surviving or getting married on schedule.

I don’t know what they’re smoking.

We’ll need access to the style sheets, bare minimum. (Some robust systems grant this via admin panel, but normally it’s done via file system/template files.) So SFTP access would be appreciated. Also, do you know if the wiki/Lemmy has a concept of restricting theme use by role?

Ditto, to be honest. My background is primarily in theming for PhpBB, Drupal, and Wordpress to an extent. Bookstack is entirely new to me, and the tactics it implements are surprisingly streamlined if, not what I’m specifically used to.

LCARS also presents unique challenges since practically everything can be done in CSS (which presumably makes it a perfect match for bookstack) but you kinda have to trick CSS into doing what you want with LCARS more creative aspects.

But, assuming we get approval, I’d enjoy collaborating. I’ve always done theming solo, so it’d be a new experience.

I suspect there are two key deterrents to using dating apps:

1: Folks that are dating material ultimately leave the pool… leaving those that… aren’t. The longer the cycle continues the more undatable fill the population of date app users. So, by no fault of the dating app itself, the vast majority of potential dates suck.

2: Then we get into the conflict of interest. Dating apps don’t want you to find your true love. They want engagement and subscription fees. It’s in their best interest to give you a substandard experience.

Boothby sang the praises of Lorcano, fulfilling the roles of leader, parent, study manager etc… so I could be lead to believe that Lorcano managed to earn the undying loyalty of a few key members of each ship that he managed to place as heads of the respective ships.

But I have a hard time believing he’s got the loyalty of the entire crew, sans the commanders left on the glass rain planet. That’s not the sort of thing you can keep under wraps… and certainly not the sort of thing intelligence would manage to overlook.

There’s also some evidence that the crews weren’t in on it. The male Romulan admitted that Nova 1 wasn’t his scheme, suggesting it was the female’s. The Orion crew all seemed oblivious aside from the plagerist, who was focused on his console. And in the Ferengi ship it seemed to be one saboteur in particular.

That aside… it’s pretty amazing how he’s gotten all those species to cooperate. We have the opening credits battle to remind us how little they all get along-something the Federation itself has failed to accomplish.
