The only time I use private tabs is when I need to look something up that I should already know. Like spelling a really easy word or not knowing a very basic fact.
They did a shittier version of the same episode on the Orville after finding some woman’s “ancient recording device” aka a basic ass iPhone, and I do not understand why people claim that’s a good show.

Ah yes... Because a device from 400 years in the past could never be considered "ancient" by anyone.
Umm... yeah, that episode was basically nothing like this one. Gordon from Orville becomes parasocially attached to a woman from her cellphone. He then creates the holo version for nothing other than fantasy exploration. That later comes to a head when he meets said woman when he got left in the past and ended up marrying her. It explores the morality of asymmetric information in relationships and the personal ramifications of parasocial relationships. The storyline ends with Gordon being forcibly removed from the past and having his memories wiped, since he refused to comply with his orders to return to his timeline. Wiped Gordon is shocked it would ever have to come to that.
Geordi created a holodeck version of a contemporary scientist to solve a problem, and then caught feelings. This episode is that coming to a head when Geordi gets called out for the privacy invasion and gets hit with the dissonance between the holo version and the real one. It explores the difference between parasocial and real relationships, and faces the larger social consequences of stealing someone's identity.
Like, it's fine that you don't like The Orville. Them exploring similar ideas to TNG (which, duh, it IS a TNG parody) doesn't mean they're doing knock-off episodes. And while these episodes explore similar themes, they are extremely different in substance and conclusion
Like, The Orville was my first Trek, because it was a new universe so knowing lore wasn't a requirement. It made Trek less daunting a franchise to enter, because of that. It certainly isn't perfect, but it definitely isn't some crap made to make money. MacFarlane loves Trek, this is his genuine approach to making his Trek show, and you can tell that a lot of love went into its making.
related question: does somebody know a good way to blacklist a certain url from being in the history in Firefox? i don't mind having the url saved in some config, just don't want it to pop up as suggestion.
thanks for the suggestion. unfortunately it doesn't quiet hit it. this is like deleting the history each time you visited the website, without actually deleting it. i would like something that either black lists or deleted it from history automatically.

possibly due to the little known effect called "different taste"

TIL that my 400+ year old violin that is valued by Lloyd's of London as "priceless," is a basic-ass violin.

Not automatic, maybe you already know, but there's a hotkey specifically for deleting url suggestion history.
I think it's like start typing the domain, then down arrow to highlight, then CTRL+DEL?

I'll check it out, thanks. i was hoping for some addon, but so far didn't find anything. maybe i need to get myself into making them;)
