    Yeah, they may not be taking much ground back, but they're also not in danger of losing much external support yet, which is probably the only scenario where Zelenskiy would cave to Putin. From his comments, I'm guessing this is just a stalling tactic to help win back some eyes and ears.

    Eh, more like Trekkies are techies. I would consider myself somewhat of a techie, definitely nerdy, and very much into sci-fi, but I really don't give a shit about Star Trek. I've seen a lot of it, just because I've had a couple girlfriends that really enjoyed it, but otherwise I probably wouldn't have watched any after my childhood.
    Now, if HBO were to do a hard R version, I'd probably get into it.

    Connect for Lemmy App Travalanche 10 months ago 90%
    Getting API error: temporarily_disabled whenever I try to view comments.

    I haven't been able to find any information about this error anywhere, so I'm hoping to find some help here. I'm using version .150 The problem persists after a phone restart. I haven't tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that's what I'm going to try now. *UPDATE: Nope, that didn't work. *UPDATE #2: I got frustrated with this issue and decided to install another app instead of waiting for someone to come along with the magic answer. Welp, the issue followed me to the Thunder app. This leads me to believe that it's either an issue with my phone (possible, but I haven't changed anything on it, either shortly before, or since this problem started) or an issue with Lemmy itself (of which I know absolutely nothing about how it works internally). I did, however, see a big block of code pop up a couple times when Connect was trying and failing to load the comments, but both times it disappeared as soon as I touched the screen. I'm not a programmer, by any stretch if the imagination, so I didn't notice if it looked weird or anything (other than appearing where it shouldn't). I'll keep poking at Connect and Thunder to see if I can get it to do it again so I can try to grab a screenshot. UPDATE #3: I was able to get the block of code to pop up again. This time it stuck around and, even though it wouldn't let me select and copy the text, let me take pictures. It's a pretty long chunk of (what I'm guessing is) HTML, which starts with "Error: < ! DOCTYPE html >"(minus some spaces) I took screenshots of the whole thing, but it's like 60 screens long so, I can edit the pics into one and post it if that helps, but it will take me a while. UPDATE 4: This only seems to happen when I'm logged in. If I'm logged out while using the apps, I can still see the comments.

    Oh man... Definitely stopping myself from fidgeting, forcing eye contact, reducing the intensity of excitement/emotions, trying not to interrupt, and scripting... well, whole conversations, really. I actually never knew, until now, the reducing the intensity of excitement and emotional response was a common coping mechanism. That one has definitely caused some issues in my relationships.
    For a long time, one of my biggest was keeping silent during conversations, but I've learned (with much help and patience from my wife!) to come out of my shell and speak up more.

    Thoughts on PvP in Warzone

    A little background on me: I just started playing a few days ago. I don't have any friends that play and my headset died a while back, so I'm always going in solo. I've been enjoying the difficulty of completing missions and searching for good loot. The hardest part for me is dealing with other players. I've personally just been ignoring anyone that I come across (aside from a couple mistaken identity incidents), because I know they're trying to get some shit done themselves, but most, if not all, will turn around and kill me as I continue to go about my business. So, I guess I'm just wondering if any of you feel the same as me, or if you like it more with the PvP? Is it your expectation that players will compete and kill each other or do you prefer co-op? Before you start slinging shit at me, I'm not complaining here. I get a little frustrated when I have some good stuff and some other squad shoots me in the back, but I'm still leveling up and having a good time playing. I also realize that some of you enjoy hunting each other, and that's totally fine, I like PvP games too. My personal opinion is just that, in this game mode, it seems like a waste of time and effort (and, for the loser, _loot_) with everything else that we have to contend with in the game, especially for solo players.

    Jeff Long's The Descent:
    In a cave in the Himalayas, a guide discovers a self-mutilated body with the warning "Satan exists".
    In the Kalahari Desert, a nun unearths evidence of a proto-human species and a deity called Older-than-Old.
    In Bosnia, something has been feeding upon the dead in a mass grave.
    So begins mankind’s most shocking realization: that the underworld is a vast geological labyrinth populated by another race of beings. Some call them "devils" or "demons." But they are real. They are down there. And they are waiting for us to find them…
    And it's sequel, Deeper:
    A decade has passed since doomed explorers unveiled a nightmare of tunnels and rivers honeycombing the earth's depths. After millennia of suffering terror and predation, humanity's armies descended to destroy the ancient hordes. Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, a doomed science expedition killed the subterraneans' fabled leader, and suddenly it seemed that evil was dead and all was right with the world again.
    Now "Deeper" arrives to explode that complacency and plunge us back into the sunless abyss. Hell boils up through America's subways and basements to take its revenge and steal our children. Against the backdrop of a looming war with China, a crusade of volunteers races to find the vestiges of a lost race. But a lone explorer, the linguist Ali von Schade, learns that a far greater menace lies in the unexplored heart of the planet. The real Satan can't be killed, and he has been waiting since the beginning of time to gain his freedom. Man and his pitiless enemies are mere pawns in the greatest escape ever devised.
