Yeah ... have we forgotten who JJ Abrams is?

Thinking about this more and it'd make more sense: a Ferengi that believed in giving gifts would certainly be banished, maybe he brought his message of giving to Earth....

... there's a chance he may have been Ferengi.

andyburke, to ukraine in Ukraine's Alternate Win Condition: Inside the Gamble on the War of Attrition

One becomes a significant person in politics by writing things like this. This is a Russian politician who is saying the things you want. Was only trying to help make sure you are aware.

Reasonableness on the Fediverse is so fucking refreshing.

FWIW: my only problem is the with the pseudoscience, your picking up his odd behavior is totally correct. I wouldn't trust this guy as far as I could throw him, just not sure what we can decide scientifically from clips like this.

andyburke, to programming in The only thing doing tech tests has taught me is that I'm too stupid to do the job I've been doing professionally for the better part of 2 decades.
@andyburke@kbin.social avatar

There are millions of small companies and shops that need engineering help. Many will actually talk to you like a person because they haven't been enshuttified to death.

STOP WORKING FOR THESE GIANT HELLHOLES.

Why are you applying to that soulless shitshack??

@andyburke@kbin.social avatar

Can you cite some studies for this, please? Preferably reproduced, peer reviewed ones?

I don't mean to be mean, but I have heard things like this and from everything I have been able to gather, there's no evidence for being able to tell how someone is thinking just from their movements or tics.

This is why Ukraine is under immense pressure to get results out of the counteroffensive.

andyburke, to casualconversation in Can we talk about how much the American healthcare system sucks?
@andyburke@kbin.social avatar

I know you don't want advice, but I want to share some information that may be important and helpful for you: recent studies have shown ulcers are essentially an infection and antibiotics have some success in treating them.

For too long doctors thought it had to do with stress or diet, but it's an infection.

You're not alone, but maybe we are? Everyone else seems to understand.

andyburke, to risa in Started Star Trek: The Next Generation for the first time last night. How big of an ongoing factor is "Q?" Because I kind of hate him.
@andyburke@kbin.social avatar

I watched Star Trek because my dad introduced me to it. I'm now a dad and I am sharing it with my kids.

I don't know you, and I don't know your family, but if your father liked Star Trek enough to introduce you to it, my guess is that he wouldn't want his death to take that away from you. If anything, my bet would be he'd hope it would bring you comfort and fond memories and hope for the future.

I hope you can get there when enough time has passed, and I hope this message might help it all hurt a little less.

andyburke, to nostupidquestions in Is there a word in English to describe someone who wants to preserve a (minority) culture against erosion from a majority culture?
@andyburke@kbin.social avatar

As an outsider with no horse in the race, I thought this a good discussion.

In the end, I think maybe Quebec gets what it wants: I have no interest in visiting a place that tries to police its "culture" that much.

andyburke, to AskKbin in What's a dead giveaway that someone is a bad person?
@andyburke@kbin.social avatar

The problem here is arguing on the Internet.
