Yes. I have had many dreams where I'm actively reading something, I'm texting somebody, there's a weird newspaper headline, the sign was wrong and gave me bad directions, etc.and I very clearly remember reading literal text and writing too.
I don't know where that "you can't read in dreams" thing came from (The Simpsons?) but it's bullshit.
I think it still has potential but it needs more time to grow
There were lots of interesting online communities with great information and conversations before Reddit but they mostly died out as people moved on to other platforms. It's a tale as old as time.
Lemmy's just a platform and communities take a while to grow and there's no guarantee they even will
I agree. I loved both, but I think B5 hit harder and is more relevant.
The effects were what they were. B5 had like half of DS9's budget. DS9 still used mostly practical effects and models until season 6 which hold up better too, especially vs. early TV CGI.
I've had 2 Chevys 1 Ford & 2 Hondas. I had multiple breakdowns and expensive mechanical issues with Chevy & Ford.
The only thing I ever paid to repair on either Honda was a windshield because a rock hit it.
I didn't understand your comment at first because I thought the cartoons were both women. (I guess the one on the right had a bit of facial hair and masculine features.)
Switching it to two guys wouldn't make a difference but I can see how male-left, female-right might look worse. But it really shouldn't.
It's a short cartoon. I read it as a playful, consenting couple having fun with each other. I don't think it's one partner luring the other in on false pretenses of an emergency and forcing them to perform oral sex. The gender arrangement shouldn't affect that.
Texas has the reputation of not tolerating this crap
That reputation is a fairy tale. They tell it a lot, but it's never been true. Texas has a long history of tolerating corruption at the highest levels so long as you remain a member of "the good ol'boys club."
So why, in the very home of big tough men with big hats and leather boots, are these guys not being punished for being gigantic, wet pussies?
Because it's bullshit and they know it. It helps them avoid confronting their deep, deep insecurities, feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness.
Let them try. Trump & his fellow republicans already attempted to violently overthrow our democracy once. Surrendering and allowing them their fever dream of a fascist dictator for life (however much time he's got left) will not improve our situation.
The force is definitely more than just the mechanics of biology. I can't imagine a blood transfusion does anything. It shouldn't connect you to the force any more than chopping off a Jedi's arm and waving it around would.
And there are loads of inanimate objects strongly connected to the force: holocrons, kyber crystals, whatever materials are used to construct and paint Jedi temples, etc. Droids are too.
I think it'll happen eventually. I was shocked when B5 got the sprucing up that it did. The tools to do even a semi-remaster are getting better and cheaper and generative AI is making it a much less labor intensive proposition.
I like trying all the different styles and learning about new ones. Neapolitan, Sicilian, Roman, New York, Chicago deep dish, Chicago tavern thin, Detroit, etc. I just had quad cities style for the first time recently.
The variations are endless!
At the time, they gave better results and the clean and simple design got right to it without all of the BANNER! BANNER! HONK!HONK! of the competitors.
They had ads, but they were just text links that said they were ads and weren't playing games with rankings based on who bribed them.
