Hi Bella!

Stamets OP ,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

She says she will say hi back to you if you transfer 13 bars of gold-pressed latinum.

xusontha , to aww in This is my kitty. Meet Bella

She looks like a very pretty kitty

Stamets OP ,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

She is very special and I love her. I mean I hate her and the fact she tries to kill me every morning by weaving in between my feet when i’m barely conscious but I love her.

xusontha ,

yeah my cat is like that too. It’s like she WANTS me to trip and fall down the stairs

Stamets OP ,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

I’ve been trying to train her to get on the couch when I get up. Start heading to the kitchen and to have her run ahead and pop up on the couch next to the hallway. That way I can bend over and give her scritches without killing my fucking back and so she can get the hell out of my way. It actually has worked. If she sees me walking that way she will jump up on the couch and paw at me and meow.

xusontha ,

I think my cat has accidentally been trained to associate her food bowl with pets, since we would pet her when feeding her after first getting her. So now whenever she wants pets she runs up to her food bowl and just walks around it. If you give her food she doesn’t eat it lol

bmsok ,

Low key murder is why we love them so damn much 🥰

@DarthonTV@startrek.website avatar

Update: it’s back to normal but it still scared me 🤣 any idea why it wouldn’t let me watch for a certain amount of time?

I’d wager it was just some sort of bug or glitch, I’ve seen similar things happen on other streaming services

Thisfox ,

Interesting.

I have only experienced disappearing-reappearing -ink- Programs on P+.

Donebrach ,
@Donebrach@lemmy.world avatar

Paramount+ as a web app sucking all the things that are derogatorily sackable is likely the cause. It is an objectively horrible platform.

EmpathicVagrant ,

Can’t even binge a show without episodes randomly playing in another language, or the ad free version starts playing ads

livedeified ,
@livedeified@lemmy.world avatar

I recently cancelled my paramount account due to the ads. found a great alternative that’s 100% cheaper. put on the episode, “the measure of a man” and drifted off to sleep.

PutangInaMo ,

I haven’t seen ads run during a show, but every now and then they’ll shove whatever they’re movie or show they’re trying to push in a preview before a new episode runs. I just hit back and start it again and it goes away.

livedeified ,
@livedeified@lemmy.world avatar

that’s what I experienced as well. although it’s minor, I think it’s a PITA.

Blamemeta ,

Thats called an ad

PutangInaMo ,

Yeah sorta. But it’s like if YouTube advertised other channels instead of “products”. I still consider it an ad but I think if fits loosely.

VegaLyrae ,

It sucks and I canceled it and subscribed to it through YouTube which means paramount gets 30% less money.

moosepuggle ,

The app is objectively terrible. Barely useable.

AuroraBorealis ,
@AuroraBorealis@pawb.social avatar

I think it just had issues yesterday, I was using it to watch episodes of CSI asy background noise show and last night it had no “episodes list” despite me being able to play the next episode

themusicgod1 ,

why do you let a corporation control whether or not you can watch something? don’t use paramount+ or any other DRM-locked service. Sooner or later they will take it away, and there’s no guarantee you’ll have access to it if you don’t have your own copy.

TheMongoose , to aww in This is my kitty. Meet Bella

Looks gorgeous. Not a hint of malice in those eyes. No sir. Give her scritches from me.

Bebo , to aww in This is my kitty. Meet Bella

Hi Bella. You are so cute!

PutangInaMo , to Star Trek in Did the take Star Trek the next generation off of paramount+?

I was watching it on there last night

Hairyblue ,
@Hairyblue@kbin.social avatar

Me too. I was watching Yesterday's Enterprise. Great episode.

lagomorphlecture , to Star Trek in Did the take Star Trek the next generation off of paramount+?

I hope that they put them all back on pretty much any other platform so I can unsubscribe from that garbage service. My BF still watches Netflix sometimes so I haven’t gotten rid of it, sigh. Put it back there please. That was the only thing I used Netflix for.

Dyskolos ,

Screw netflix and the others. For like 5 moneyz a month you could go sonarr. Enter “star trek tng”, wait. Watch on your own machine in the quality you prefer. You only need to be a bit tech-savvy and it’s only a one-time-work-investment. You will never go back.

Flyberius ,
@Flyberius@hexbear.net avatar

Streamio is really good too (my sister in law uses it for everything). I think it is free too and the interface is really professional for what is essentially a torrent tool.

Azzu ,
@Azzu@lemm.ee avatar

The problem with it is that it hides a little bit too much how illegal it is. It’s kinda good that torrenting is not absolutely one-click easy to access, because then people are actually more likely to understand what they’re doing.

Flyberius ,
@Flyberius@hexbear.net avatar

I think most people who install it know full well what they are doing and simply install it because it makes things a lot easier. They only reason I haven’t done it myself is I can’t be bothered atm.

If you are searching the internet for an application that lets you view just about everything for free, then you are well aware that you are sailing the high seas of piracy.

Dyskolos ,

If it’s torrent-based, then it would be suicide to use it where I live. Torrent without VPN = instant regret :)

krolden ,
@krolden@lemmy.ml avatar

But think of Paramount’s profit loss! Oh no we might not get more star trek prodigy oh no!

Dyskolos ,

OMG My bad, sorry. I didn’t think of the megacorps :-(

CmdrShepard ,

First they’ll cancel Prodigy and then next thing you know they might cancel TNG or DS9. It’s a slippery slope!

krolden , to Star Trek in Did the take Star Trek the next generation off of paramount+?
@krolden@lemmy.ml avatar

The bdrips are better anyway. I suggest you download those

ValueSubtracted Mod , to Star Trek in Question - Star Trek Explorer Presents short story collections from Titan Bookstores - are they simply compilations from the magazines or new content?
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

previously published stories from the magazine

I think it’s this. I know a previous edition collected the Star Trek Online short stories that were originally published in the magazine.

NoiseColor , to Star Trek in A touching quote from Nimoy's "I am Spock" book (1995)

I have no idea what kind of person Nimoy was. He was always spock to me. The other actors I know better. What’s a good docu that shows Nimoy as a person?

EdibleFriend ,
@EdibleFriend@lemmy.world avatar

Fringe.

hstde ,

The good old William Bell.

Olivia channeling Bell is the series’ crowning achievement.

Yes, yes it was , damn she’s a good acrtress (not to disparage Nimoy, but that was Gold)

This gives you some idea of who Nimoy was.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BC35cQKHwzg

AngryCommieKender ,

There’s a documentary about him on Netflix that was done with his family around the time he died. It paints him as a caring dad, and of course Spock. It’s been a few years since I watched it.

Redhotkurt ,
@Redhotkurt@kbin.social avatar

The Spockumentary you seek is called For the Love of Spock (2016).

wigbert ,
@wigbert@mastodon.world avatar

@Redhotkurt @The_Picard_Maneuver @NoiseColor

definitely worth watching

TubeTalkerX , to Star Trek in A touching quote from Nimoy's "I am Spock" book (1995)

We always do Mr. Vulcan.

Decoy321 , to Star Trek in A touching quote from Nimoy's "I am Spock" book (1995)

No disrespect to Zachary Quinto, who is an amazing actor in his own right. But whenever I think of Spock, only Nimoy comes to mind.

Nimoy isn’t Spock. Spock is Nimoy.

TurnItOff_OnAgain ,

And lizard beats spock.

DoctorWhookah ,

As I recall, nothing beats Spock. But it has been a while since I played rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock.

TurnItOff_OnAgain ,

Scissors cuts paper.

Paper covers rock.

Rock crushes lizard.

Lizard poisons Spock.

Spock smashes scissors.

Scissors decapitates lizard.

Lizard eats paper.

Paper disproves Spock.

Spock vaporizes rock.

Rock crushes scissors.

DoctorWhookah ,

I hear this comment.

    Ethan Peck. Agree! A shame he never got to act opposite Nimoy like Quinto did.

    circuitfarmer ,
    @circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    I don’t even really like Disco but Ethan Peck is a great Spock. Thankful that they put him in Strange New Worlds too.

    I don’t hate it, but I also strongly dislike Trek that doesn’t follow the episodic formula, meaning I can’t drop in anywhere and have an enjoyable experience. I disliked Picard for the same reason. SNW is much more planet-of-the-week, which I greatly prefer.

    Benfell ,
    @Benfell@hcommons.social avatar

    @circuitfarmer

    It was bad enough when cliff hangers spanned a few months; now they span a period closer to a year.

    I mean, come on. I'm getting old and yeah, I'd like to see the next episode before I die.

    WhiskyTangoFoxtrot ,

    Quinto has the disadvantage that the movies he played Spock in were shit overall.

    (The first two, at least. Like most people I never saw the third one.)

    Oiconomia ,

    I actually also quite like Ethan Peck’s Spock. Wonderfully cast. But of course Nimoy is still the best.
