At the same time, we see a lot that rather than being the emotionless purely logic-driven creatures that they claim to be, Vulcans are still emotional, often making emotional decisions by pretending that it would be more logical to do one thing than another.
Sarek still wound up with Amanda, and cared for her, even if he went with the emotionless mask.
If Uhura’s theorizing was correct, an emotionless Spock would have probably been involved in the ensemble songs the same as always, but would by definition be incapable of experiencing “emotions […] so heightened that words won’t suffice”. So it is unlikely that he would have found himself belting out a solo about anything.
Although by that logic, even if Spock was emotionless, he just had to reach a point where words were no longer sufficient in conveying the meaning that he wished, and as such, he may still have sung a solo.
Ease of installation/use, I think, is the main big one, and one of the biggest obstacles.
People who want to give self-hosting a try aren't going to be particularly fond of having to jump through a whole bunch of different configs, and manually set everything up.
They want something that they can just set up and go, without having to deal with server hosting, services, and all of that. Something you can just run on your computer, leave it be, and use it with relatively little fuss.
Second to that, would definitely be a case of better documentation/screenshots. A lot of self-hosted things, like Lemmy, didn't provide much documentation of what the actual user side of it does, only what you need to do to set it up, which isn't going to make me want to use the software, if I have no idea what it's supposed to do, and how it compares to other things that do the same.
Even with other forms of generative AI, there are very few notable uses for it that isn't just a gimmick/having fun with it, and not in a way achievable via other means.
Being able to add a thing to a photo is neat, but also questionably useful, when it is also doable with a few minutes of Photoshop.
I've a friend who claims it can be useful for scripts and quick data processing, but I've personally not had that experience when giving it a spin.
That was the intended audience for the comic at the time, though.
CAD was very much immature nerd humour (as was the style at the time), and it'd be inevitable that a sudden tonal whiplash to a serious tragedy around a miscarriage, out of seeming nowhere, would be received poorly.
Though they have made odd decisions before. IO is generic and widely-used enough that it doesn't seem implausible that they might change it to not be tied to the Indian Ocean territories.
I think this all happens mostly due to the stress trans people are inadvertently causing their parents. When your kid comes out of the closet, this will happen to a parent regardless of how liberal-minded they are. Even if you have no problem with the concept, your kid being trans brings about new kinds of threat scenarios you never had to think about before. If you’re a sensible, smart and handsome person like I truly fucking am, you can process it in a few years and come out as not being a 100% asshole towards the issue.
I feel like it's more the opposite problem. For the parents, trans people are a vague boogeyman. They've never meant a trans person personally, and they're constantly told that trans people are just waiting to jump them in the bathroom, or at sports, or all sorts of other things, so they've never had to contend with someone they know being trans.
If it was simply stress or threat to the kid, it wouldn't really explain the reaction to disowning them, since most of those aren't about the treatment that their kids would receive for being trans.
Although now that I think about it, that could have been the intention here but not automatic, if that's why 5k+ files were staged without the user explicitly staging them. Extra tragic if that's the case.
From the git discussions around the issue, it wasn't that the files were automatically staged, but that the "discard all changes" feature invoked a git clean, and also deleted untracked files.
Since OP's project wasn't tracked, it got detonated.
At the same time, OP seems a layman, and might be coming from things like Microsoft Word, where "Discard all changes" basically means "revert to last save".
EDIT: After reading the related issues, OP may have also thought that "discard changes" was to uninitialise the repository, as opposed to wiping untracked files.
Fire and Brimstone Hell is also commonly believed, but not actually in the bible, if I recall right.
Most of the punishment around Hell in the Bible is less about Hell itself, and more about not being able to enter Heaven and join God, and all of that, as oppose to Hell itself being punishment.
... Why not just say that then? It would save much confusion.
It'd be hard to say whether there would be no suffering in off-world colonies, but I should doubt it. Traditionally, colonisation has been a dangerous thing, and human nature is as human nature does. The best you can do is reduce it so that what suffering does occur is either minor, or ineffectual.
Also, why do they dismiss asking ISS staff to participate in studies? Bodily autonomy doesn’t mean you can’t ask someone to conduct … uh… research with you. It just means you have to respect it they say no. Astronauts seem like the types who wouldn’t mind putting in a little extra effort for… science.
Too many other introduced variables? Microgravity has a lot of other systemic effects on the astronauts that might affect sperm motility, even before effects to the sperm themselves. Or just individual variation/genetics on the part of the astronauts themselves.
They wouldn't be able to get a sperm sample that wasn't affected by microgravity from the astronauts to begin with.
Yes. For a while, South Korean internet nicknamed him the "Gold Goblin" (after Diablo), since he was so disliked that anyone shown hitting him would receive a decent amount of money in donations.
But also: what if Thanos himself got snapped out, along with the power glove (because for some reason it turned their clothes into dust, too)? The heroes would have been fucked, right? It’s been a minute since I saw the movies but IIRC, they used the time stone to go back in time. But what if the stone was gone because it was part of Thanos’ attire? He himself used the stones to destroy the stones, so there is probably a timeline where he got snapped away with everyone else, destroying the stones in the process.
It might not be possible, since the stones were also performing the action, and Thanos didn't want to destroy the stones while snapping everyone in half. Otherwise, they might just self-destruct by going for the nearest target first (Thanos), and stop there, not fulfilling the desired action. You'd have to destroy/scatter them separately.
I don't think that they used the time stone to go back in time, since it was destroyed when they got there. They had to get it from the past, since a decent part of the movie surrounded that.
