DS9 writers: Okay so the interesting question here is, What it would mean about the paradise of a Star Trek future if that were based on something truly evil like Section 31? Does Section 31 exist? and if so, would Starfleet still be the good guys?

Every other Star Trek writer: To answer your question, yes Section 31 is real, it's affiliated with Starfleet, and sorry what was the last question? I can't hear you over the phaser fire, torture and war crimes. Come to think of it, I hate Star Trek.

First #RaspberryPi earned a shitstorm by hiring an ex-cop specialized in hidden surveillance.

Now they accept an investment by Sony for their propr. AI engine to be included in the next Pi. Which "only sends metadata to the cloud".

Edit 2024: They went IPO.

Here's a list of alternatives:

"No," the swordmaster said.
"But you teach people how to handle swords."
"I do, yes."
"Is there a difference?"
"I... am not an master at handling people."
The swordmaster picked up the talking sword.
"But I know someone who is."
"A peoplemaster?" the sword said.
"A witch."

Please boost, need financial help with student loans and debt from social security overpayment 

@mutualaid #mutualaid

Hello, I’m in quite a lot of financial trouble atm:

I’m going to have to start paying the second part of my student debt because I made the mistake of getting into a private school in 2015 (it was split into two as a former agreement so it would be easier on me since I changed where I was studying and would take longer to not be a student anymore). The loan I have calls for monthly installments of 389€, which I cannot affort at the moment. I called them to revise the installments so I can pay less every month, but they told me I need to pay at least one installments before that can be adjusted. So I’ll have to shell that out at least next month

In addition, social security has overpaid me for 391€ for three months last year and is asking for that money back. They’re going to hold it from my payment next month and I’ll only get 12€ or so from them, so the timing is extremely bad

The financial strain of all this is way too much for me and my current income as I’m still an apprentice and I’ll be until June − I’ll have to line up a job then, and I really need any help I can get.

Any amount is welcome, but if you can’t donate, boosts go a long way too

Today's Oh Joy Sex Toy comic is all about trauma - the various forms and degrees of severity, how it can manifest, and, how it can persist.

It finishes: "Instead of beating ourselves up for being 'stuck in the past', we can recognise that trauma is a natural part of surviving something terrible - not a sign that we're broken."
