Like users that are known for a gimmick or that everyone sees alot?
can’t think of anyone
@cheese_greater@lemmy.world I think counts. A good friend who is famous for participating and fascinated with every activity I’ll never do lol
All the star trek guys
I’m not a huge Star Trek person, but it really is one of the best communities here with some of the best people.
Start with Strange New Worlds. It’s the best new Trek in 30 years. You can find it on the Bay or wherever you get your videos.
If you aren’t hooked by the end of season 1, yeah it’s probably not for you.
No start with “The Next Generation”, or “Star Trek: The Original Series” if you like older shows
They are better, then move on to lower decks if you like comedy in a star trek setting then strange new worlds
I’d also recommend star trek prodigy, it can be watched as a family
Star trek picard season 1 and 3 are okay but depart from general star trek quality, season 2 is an absolute clusterfuck of awfulness that should be avoided and I have made my own headcannon that it was just another ones of q’s games where they messed with reality creating an awful fever dream of reality and bullshitted about themself dying just to mess with picard again just to fix that godawful season in my mind
Thanks for that.
I tried the first few episodes. I didn’t really like it, unfortunately.
Lower Decks is a little bit sillier if that’s your thing.
Sometimes yes, but definitely not with Trek.
So I wasn’t into it originally, but watching it again as an adult I’m kinda fond of TNG. Cast is amazing, stories are (mostly) great. But I just love how mature and optimistic it is, for the most part.
Seeing difficult questions of morality and strife - seeing people consistently confront those situations with incredible ethics, empathy, and like, well, ADULTS…it’s super-refreshing.
And I like the parts of that which shone through into Voyager, DS9, and Enterprise (in that order, at least what I saw of them. I sorta got into Voyager.
Watching Picard, a lot of the characters are there, but most of what I seem to like about TNG isn’t. Plus a bunch of the plot is just nonsense and crappily written. I really don’t like it.
I tried watching some of DIS here and there but it fucking sucks (IMO). SNW still seems to have too much melodrama and stuff I just don’t like. Maybe if I wasn’t trying to compare it to TNG or VOY subconsciously, I would like it more; who knows.
Orville is alright.
Everyone says Lower Decks is really great, and I love Futurama and Venture Bros and Rick and Morty and etc. It probably IS great. But I don’t really want throwaways about how phasers can’t melt steel beams and fart jokes in Trek.
Guess I’m just picky :)
TNG is my favorite too. I think Lower Decks really walks the fine line of being a little bit silly but still being serious enough to feel like core trek.
I’ll give it a shot. Thanks tigeruppercut.
Except me apparently, if you read the rest of this thread.
People have their reasons for disliking you and I agree with them because my experience with you matches what they are saying flyingsquid
I came to dislike you because of the way you acted in this post
Thank you for your sacrifice
I do it for the glory of the Terran Empire.
I’m infamous if that helps
How many of yall read this entire thread and were disapointed or glad you didnt find your own name.

he’s a parent.
I saw a comment the other day where they (Flying Squid) claimed to be in their 40s. Idk about mental health issues, but they are incredibly hostile/argumentative in comments.
Really? I’m pretty active on the lemms and haven’t seen that at all
For whatever this is worth, he is argumentative & unfriendly enough for him to be mentioned multiple times in this thread as a famous asshole. (Note, many comments have now been “removed by mod” - but they were there. Just mentioning it in case someone tries to Ctrl+F their name to verify.)
For whatever it’s worth, you were agreeing with a lying troll account about what an asshole I am.
I’m just saying it seems a bit counterproductive to your argument.
I haven’t seen any troll account lying about you
I’ve just seem people discussing their experience with you that matches my experience of you
I dislike you because of your comments on this post
Really? The squid’s take in that thread is everyday normal, especially for those of us older folks who grew up with parents who innocently took photos of us as babies in the tub. It was super common, and not at all intended to gratify anyone sexually.
Also, the squid’s demeanor in the linked exchange remained fair despite them being repeatedly implied to be some kind of pedophile. If anything, their position in that debate (and their fair demeanor) made me like them more, not less.
Wait a second… Maybe this link was all part of a slick PR move to boost the squid’s profile! Well played sir/madam!
I haven’t seen any troll account lying about you
See those deleted posts in this specific thread? That would be the troll. Who is now banned because it was a troll account.
And yes, again, I know you hate me because you think I’m a pedophile.
Ada from Lemmy Blahaj Zone is quite infamous for the bad takes and arbitrary bans
Satan’s Maggoty Cum Fart always gets a laugh from me
Ada is a strange one yeah. I remember them because instead of just generally deciding they didn’t want to federate with lemmynsfw, she accused the admins of lemmynsfw of allowing CSAM when that turned out to be from a confirmed adult model that just happened to have a smaller body, and when she found that out she doubled down. That’s such a weird take from a supposedly pro LGBTQ+ lemmy admin, considering that accepting of people of all shapes and sizes is a core tenet of being LGBTQ+.
One time I posted a meme on Blahaj in which someone named Obvious_Troll@hexbear.net was attacking a trans person. Ada sent me a message about it saying I was attacking a real trans person. There is no real trans person named Obvious_Troll. I made up that username for the meme. Ada defended a fictional transphobic troll, because they were from Hexbear.
I kinda get not starting shit with other instances (Although, Hexbear should be the last to be able to invoke that), and it is still her instance and her rules there. But yeah it would not make me happy to be part of a community under those rules. Being a safe space doesn’t mean you have to shield bad actors from criticism. Especially if she’s not going to be respectful to good actors. And it really is weird how she comes to some of her conclusions (How is a non-existing person trans, where did she learn this?) and then still wants the same response when that turns out to be wrong.
I have edited my comment because I found the name of that problematic Facebook group
This comment is just to serve as a notification
This comment thread reminded me of a problematic trans group that is mentioned in the “Being phobic is sus: weeding out transphobic Facebook groups” Facebook group occasionally because that behaviour seems really similar
I’ve forgotten the name of the group though and will edit my comment if I find the name again and haven’t forgotten about this comment
Flying squid
but not in a good way.
I’ve never seen them be out of pocket, just everywhere.
Fuck that guy.
Seems like he’s gotten a little better lately.
Its going to sound silly, but I can’t get past how confident he is and how quickly he posts. Noone makes good arguments with that little thought. At least thats my current theory on why he bothers me.
Who knows though maybe I’m projecting.
I also get annoyed at lightning fast responses. And I agree 100%
It takes no time or energy to come up with one answer to a question. I’m fact, I think most humans’ brains are built for snap decisions like that.
But to weigh multiple answers against each other, poking holes in the answers you are most inclined to believe? That takes thought. And if someone is not doing that for you, then odds are, their brain is simply letting them take the discussion less seriously than your brain (or your morality) allows.
So I think you have every right to feel frustrated at such behavior.
Until this thread, I didnt realize so many Lemmy users had an issue with Flying Squid. Perhaps its because I tend to agree with a lot of his takes, but I just find him abrasive at worst. Like…unafraid to not sugarcoat an uncomfortable truth.
Dudes definitely everywhere though.
FlyingSquid believes that your internet browsing history should be made public if you are running for any political position. Worst take of all time.
Rumors of my only having good opinions about everything that everyone should agree with have been greatly exaggerated.
But if I have offended you by being wrong about something, I apologize.
Not offended, more just dumbfounded that someone could honestly not see how that is obviously a terrible idea.
See above, re me not always having good opinions about everything.
I cannot help being severely flawed. It comes with the whole homo sapiens thing.
But good for you not having any opinions most people in a certain community you’re in disagree with. That must be very nice for you.
So what you are saying (through an incredibly thick layer of condescension) is that you know your belief is wrong. And instead of changing your belief, you would rather maintain it, knowing it is wrong. That’s just bizarre.
What about for politicians who think your internet history should be public? ;)
NSFW:
Skip to the good bit:
They also beleive you shouldn’t have a right to privacy and your trauma not existing
Holy cannoli squid, don’t do that to your kid.
I’ve gotten into it with them at least once and seen some other questionable takes from them but nothing to a grudge over. They’re just opinionated. It’s fine. People take shit on the internet too seriously.
Flying Asshole
Very much you saying Pot meet kettle
No, because of how they interacted on this post
https://lemmy.world/comment/10906808
Their the second person I hate on lemmy, the other one being stamets because they repsonded to me in an abrasive, rude, toxic and above others attitude
They’re**
Fuck.
Be careful pointing that out on forums they moderate or they’ll ban you for “mod harassmenr.”
Power users and power mods are cancer.
I really don’t see a problem with how they interacted. And, as a step father, I agree that it’s your job to embarrass your kids some as they grow.
I think they were much more level headed and calm than I would have been had I been at odds with so many people.
But hey, everyone is allowed their own opinions.
I don’t see the issue?
I see @teft@lemmy.world, @ivanafterall@lemmy.world, and @MicroWave@lemmy.world a lot
Ah yes. The most American of questions.
Have you considered that America bad?
wait till you hear about celebrity worship in other countries too
did you know there are kpop fans who think they’re literally destined to marry their crush?
Yeah Asia is fucked in that way but I mean we expect better from Western societies. Aim high etc.
Suction@lemmy.world
Yeah Asia is fucked in that way but I mean we expect better from Western societies. Aim high etc.
oh go fuck yourself you racist piece of shit. what the actual fuck do you think you’re saying? “expect better”??? fucking WHY? and who the fuck is WE???!?
I am saying that celebrity worship, or more generally, worship of people who one deems “above” oneself, is a very problematic aspect of all East Asian cultures which are influenced by Confucianism, and by the fact that they shed feudalism not as long ago as for example Western European societies. And I don’t understand the need to use that kind of gutter vocabulary. Doesn’t exactly make you seem very educated.
my language? go fuck yourself you racist piece of garbage. i dont need to seem any way to the likes of you. have fun “expecting better” of some arbitrary group you happen to puy yourself in (wow so luck!)
and Confucianism has NOTHING to do with celebrity worship. it’s about deference. it’s your “”“THE WEST”“” and the way they idolize god and prophets that are the true celebrity worship cultures
But that doesn’t make sense to you! anything to put down another culture that is foreign to you. which leads me back to go fuck yourself you racist piece of shit, i hope you get throat cancer and end up with a trachea full of maggots
Are you a „HAPA“ then, yeah?
I hear England has a family that’s famous for just being alive…
I see @MyOpinion@lemm.ee constantly, and it trips me up every time because when I met my wife online twelve years ago, her username was MyOpinionIs. Not sure that they’re famous, though…
I think it’s the blue checkmark that always draws my eyes.
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net has a blue name and posts a lot
academy award nominee “Margot Robbie” of course!
Ugh.
You’re gonna feel pretty silly when it’s really her and she dates us all.
I’m prepared to feel silly and date Margot Robbie
you think she’ll actually date the non-believers? pfft that’s not how faith works
Hey, thats just how Academy Award winner Margot Robbie be.
The secret to my immense wealth was simply forwarding an e-mail from Bill Gates to 10 of my friends, quite a few years ago now. I guess most people didn’t think it was real, but as soon as I sent the 10th, Bill got in touch, and the rest is history.
I would feel pretty silly in that circumstance, true.
Are they still posting?
