A new version of Mbin was released I think yesterday. Maybe it has something to do with the update.

Is registration for fedia.io currently working? I’ve trying to set up an account for a couple of days. When I fill out the registration page and hit “register” nothing happens.

It’s Roddy Piper from Hell Comes to Frogtown.

How can you have a list of 80s cheesy sci-fi with no Troma? The Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke Em High, Surf Nazis Must Die.

On top of being a list of big budget films these are supposed to be under appreciated? Ghostbusters had a sequel in the 80s, basically continuous TV presence for the past ~40 years, and unreasonably huge merchandiseing. It’s one of the most successful franchises of all time.

Brooklyn is in New York. Also, actual book bans are unconstitutional under the first amendment. What these laws do is prohibit state funded entities like public schools and public libraries in the state from having the books available. The books are still available in privately owned places.

Introducing, from the makers of bigot chicken, bigot TV!

I suppose you could add the detail that the Federation was actually agreeing to provide a certain amount of energy to the Barzans.

That’s pretty much what I was saying, maybe I didn’t say it well.

A Federation credit is a right to use a certain amount of energy on a Federation replecator. So if a non Federation group wanted to get 10k self sealing stem bolts from the Federation then Starfleet would look up the energy requirement to replicate the stem bolts and divide that by how much energy is represented by one credit and that’s how many credits the group would have to use to get the stem bolts.

This is head cannon and I can’t really support it in universe but it’s the only way the Federation economy makes sense to me.

Every Federation citizen gets an energy allotment that they can use to replicate anything that they need. The allotment is well beyond what’s required to meet their basic needs. A Federation Credit is an allotment of a certain amount of energy that the holder can use to have the Federation replication something for them. The credits aren’t particularly valuable to Federation citizen living in Federation controlled space because they are already allotted a large amount of energy.

Kbin has upvote, downvote, and boost. Boost comes from the microblogging side, kbin does both content aggregation like Lemmy and microblogging like Mastodon. On the content aggregation side boost counts as 2 upvotes and it functions as normal for the microblogging side. Kbin.social is the only Kbin instance I used, I expect that it works the same on other Kbin instances and on Mbin but I don’t know for sure.

Op is talking about accounts that upvote spam content. For the most part those accounts will be the spammer’s alts that will be posting spam when the current account gets banned. Blocking them while they are still being used for vote manipulation means you wouldn’t have to see their spam in the future.

That’s way too much work. I just logged into my original account on kbin.social and tapped on the activity button to see votes before that instance went down. If I want to see votes again I can set up an account on any kbin or mbin instance in less than a minute and do the same thing.

It’s crucial to note that our bias scale is calibrated to the political >spectrum of the United States, which may not align with the >political landscapes of other nations.

From their methodology page.

They aren’t rating for any and all bias. They are rating for political bias within the context of the US political landscape.

He can’t be Harris’s VP. Two people from the same state can run on the same ticket but electors for the electorial college can’t vote for two people from the same state as the elector. That means that no elector from California could vote for a Harris/Newsom ticket. Democrats cannot win in the electorial college without California.

Harris is very unpopular with a large portion of the democratic base because of her very close ties with law enforcement and resistance to criminal justice reform while Attorney General of California.

I don’t know but the most compelling evidence in my mind is the personal stories from Macaulay Culkin. Culkin was about as broken as Michael Jackson for similar reasons and I think they had a legitimate bond because of that. I tend to believe Culkin when he says that Jackson’s odd behaviors were not a result of ill intent and that Jackson didn’t hurt children.
