Gamers™ are known for not having a nuanced understanding of mental health (because, y’know, the only emotion men have is anger) and we’re just seeing it here. Thankfully I have a hairtrigger block button :)
No, it’s just trauma and not wanting that to come up at the game table. Simple as that. I had a group before the pandemic where just about everyone had some kind of trauma and this is 100000% not the kind of thing they or I would enjoy.
Not a bad take, your $0.02 is worth more than a lot of other people’s (not saying the takes here are bad, just a general statement). I’m far, far on the opposite end of the extreme of some people in this thread; I was comfortable on a single 11" MacBook Air screen". Part of that is certainly my ADHD/autism, in that I can hyperfocus on the thing that’s in the foreground and just swap everything else to disk when I’m not looking at it. I appreciate the recognition that it is all about taste; so many folks tend to state their preferences like they’re objective fact.
They should have thought of that before becoming parents, then. It’s not the kid’s fault the parents can’t think ahead or take responsibility for their stupid actions. School shouldn’t be a babysitter for John and Jane Doe.
I mean, much as I’d like Sisko to come back in anything regarding DS9, that Brooks doesn’t want to do it is actually convenient for the story: Sisko’s in the Celestial Temple with the Prophets, let him stay there. LD has shown we can have a great DS9 episode without him.
It’s a shame he’s not interested, but there are plenty of BIPOC actors who’d love to have a chance at being in Trek.
Q could fingersnap the Prophets out of existence. While powerful, and indeed nonlinear (which Q is as well), their influence is more or less strictly limited to the Celestial Temple.
The only thing Microsoft is investing in is marketing to fool people into thinking they’re your friend. Remember that Copilot is automated open source license violation at scale. They’re building a tool to take your work, without crediting you, so others can use it without compensating you.
This is “love” in the same way an abusive relationship is “love”.
The fact that so many people so firmly believe that MS is one of the good guys now is just bewildering to me. Like were they not alive in the 90s? This is classic embrace, extend, extinguish, as you say.
It’s easy, just find some folks to unconditionally fulfill every need of yours without any expectation of anything in return, and live your entire life in that circumstance so you don’t know stress
Church, and mosque, not as religious symbols but as a community centers reminds lonely isolated people that they can go now and they will find people there to chat a little bit with.
Unless they’re gay, or trans, or polyamorous, or …
There’s that episode of TNG where he has to confront, get along with, and work peacefully with the Cardassians. I forget which one it is, but he does not handle it well.
Oh, and also remember he’s seen so much combat (235 separate engagements) that Starfleet recognized him as an expert in starship combat. Saw his friend (Nog) mutilated by the Jem’Hadar (The Siege of AR-558). Watched his other friend die slowly after being attacked by the Jem’Hadar (Muniz). Almost died with his situationship (Bashir) inside of a spy’s (Sloan’s) mind. Constantly injured his shoulder or other parts of his body while trying to relax (kayaking, raquetball, darts).
