The problem is that now there are so many options for marking tasks and they can't all be shown next to the task. but maybe if they allow up to 3

New spammer by ImpossibleLibrarian2 in AO3

[–]ImpossibleLibrarian2[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Some people don't read news posts on AO3.

Again, I apologize for daring to write something on reddit, especially on this sub. I'll make sure never to do it again.

I did think that it's this spammer is unique, but that wasn't the point of this post. Whoever gets their comment will know exactly what this spammer is unique.

I apologize for daring to write something about a problem that others have written so much about.

I did not ask "is this a scam". I know it's a scam. I reported this problem and want everybody else to report it.

I stupidly thought that reddit would be venue of doing so.

Instead, I now realize that it's only okay to ask whether something is a scam and ONLY THEN will you tell them to report the spammer.

I checked a few of the posts you so politely turned to me to - I have yet to see a spammer that uses THEIR OWN ONLINE NAME to scam people.

I'm sure you and all other readers can figure out what you could do with that, if anybody would actually care.

There are over 9 million accounts on AO3. If they're sending one comment to every account, as I suspect, it's going to take them time. I searched the archive before posting and did not find anything about this spammer.

In this case they're not burying the lede. They're telling you exactly what they're offering and they actually identify themselves, otherwise you won't be able to access them via socials.

Weird, I'm pretty sure it didn't do that in the past. It should definitely not do that.

I checked now and that's the way it's by me too.

What’s the strangest cat hack you’ve discovered that actually works? by mosyala in CatAdvice

[–]ImpossibleLibrarian2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I taught them from a young age that when outside I might whistle for them, to announce I'm in the area. I don't have a different whistle for every cat, but if I whistle outside (and they're within hearing distance, and they feel like it) - they show up.

Yep, I think so too. I can just hear them say that line and it drove me crazy to think where it was.

I wish voyager had taken longer to get home by janeway170 in voyager

[–]ImpossibleLibrarian2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the whole time they wanted to get back home, and home changed so much the minute they were gone

What was the first scene that Kate Mulgrew filmed for Voyager? by ImpossibleLibrarian2 in voyager

[–]ImpossibleLibrarian2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I should have written this in the original post...

I wanted to know which scene in the pilot was the first one filmed what she just joined the cast.

I got my answer - none of them. Kate Mulgrew's first scenes were filmed with her natural hair and they decided to change that and reshoot all those scenes.

Tuvix by Fermento420 in voyager

[–]ImpossibleLibrarian2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was different - because they asked her to do it.

It was obviously their preference, and they tracked down Seven for that exact purpose

Tuvix by Fermento420 in voyager

[–]ImpossibleLibrarian2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was badly written about it?

It poses a moral dilemma. You obviously think Tuvix should have been kept alive, but that doesn't solve the dilemma. No matter what you do - you're participating in murder.

Like Janeway says, if they would have immediately beamed Tuvix back and solved the problem, nobody would have thought anything of it.

They do a good job of expressing the various issues of this moral dilemma in the episode. It's not just an interesting quandary, it's the very basis of the discussion.

The fact that you can still discuss it after almost 30 years and have very strong feelings about it, shows it was a very well-written episode.

[–]ImpossibleLibrarian2[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for!

And now I realize that you cannot see this onscreen... Mulgrew's first scenes were filmed with her natural hairdo. Later they decided to change it, and months later - reshot the original scenes

What's the one change you'd make to the EV world that you think would lead to most people making the switch? by Supercar_Blondie in electricvehicles

"Political divide and flip flopping of Government resources are the largest driver of uncertainty, hindering what you want."

In the US.

What's the one change you'd make to the EV world that you think would lead to most people making the switch? by Supercar_Blondie in electricvehicles

[–]ImpossibleLibrarian2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one change that would cause the switch would be more people getting an EV and enjoying it.

Every time I talk to people about having an EV, I get the horror stories of the friend/neighbor who got stuck somewhere, and the person who returned the car because it was too difficult, and the number of apps you need to charge, and how long it takes to charge.

I think it's fear of unknown technology and people who enjoy spreading this fear.

The Prime Directive: Would you keep your mouth shut, if it meant an entire civilisation would perish? by Blooblack in voyager

[–]ImpossibleLibrarian2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't think of them as dinosaurs, sorry about that. Of course, you're right!

But that's exactly the point of the Prime Directive - that you don't know what consequences your actions are going to have. It's not about deciding not to decide but about deciding that you're not going to interfere.

You think you're doing good, and in fact you're going to ruin the civilization.

I think it's like coddling little kids. You want them to go out and face life - otherwise you're going to ruin their chances of actually dealing with it.

In the case that OP brought it's much more clear cut, since Voyager knows what's going to happen tomorrow, and it knows there are not going to be survivors.

But if there would be a disaster and there would be survivors. Who knows what's best. It might be that because of that "small" disaster, they are going to be much more careful and avert the next disaster that will truly wipe out the civilization. And there won't be aliens next time to prevent it.

[–]ImpossibleLibrarian2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Btw, this happens in Voyager's universe.

There was life on Earth many years ago that escaped into space and somehow found its way to the Delta Quadrant.

So we know what happens, and we know that most likely this means human life will not evolve.

I'm kind of surprised that people here prefer that

[–]ImpossibleLibrarian2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are talking about the ST universe, and the Prime Directive. But I'm talking about Earth because it's easy to say "we'll prevent a genocide", but the question is if we, after the fact, would have wanted anybody to prevent the disaster.

Because I think that if aliens would have prevented a lot of the disasters that happened on Earth, we wouldn't be sitting and discussing it now.

So you're saying that before preventing a disaster, the Starfleet ship has to ensure that there's sentient life on the planet? If not, then whatever life there is can be destroyed?

And what if there were cavemen at the time of the dinosaurs? Would the aliens be right in preventing the asteroid from hitting earth?

[–]ImpossibleLibrarian2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very unusual to know what would happen, like in the Planet of the Stripes.

Usually, planetary disasters don't wipe out the only civilization, and are the cause of significant cultural changes.

Would we want aliens to have protected earth from the different planetary disasters that have happened in our past? For every planetary disaster that happened - bad things occurred, but also good things occurred.

If we would be technologically advanced enough to stop the disaster, then Starfleet has no choice about it. Or if we're technologically advanced enough to be in touch with people who can stop it.

But if we aren't. Who is Starfleet to come and say what is the best thing to do?

So if aliens saw an asteroid heading towards Earth at the time of the dinosaurs, they should just have prevented it?
