Approximately nobody is saying you should sell your 2020 compensator for scrap, in fact the general consensus is that the best thing you can do is keep your current ride in good repair as long as you can.

You don't have to invent boogeyman just because you have a weird parasocial relationship with big oil.

BuT tHaTs SoCiAliSm!

Facebones ,

I actually never watched ds9, but LOVED voyager. I hated Enterprise and could never get into it. I think all this new Trek happening is killer though!

Got a “All Good Things…” tattoo for my birthday. ( startrek.website )

My birthday was last week (May 17). Decided to get my first tattoo, which I wanted to be Trek related. As a kid my family had a VHS tape with a recording of “All Good Things…” (and for unknown reasons, “Caretaker”). So I have seen the episode a dozen times. It is my favorite episode of the franchise. The image I’m...

Facebones ,

I've never gotten a tattoo, trek WOULD make a good one...... (And simple if I'm a bitch about it haha)

Facebones ,

I've always been a trek guy myself. I like star wars but ehhhh Trek for days ❤️

Facebones ,

Almost as if we don't live in a world where we need to have murder boners 247

Facebones ,

Ah yes, modern basic issues like being kidnapped into a multiversal network of spores and finding your murdered partner creeping in the wings destroying everything he touches.

Mondays, amirite?

Any “mundane” problems they faced were faced by most of the crew at some point, yet you’re only complaining about non-cishets being “normal.” You’re not very good at masking your bigotry.

Facebones ,

I don’t mind people not liking discovery, such is the nature of these things.

People who claim Discovery isn’t Trek then swoon over Picard in the same comment can eat my whole ass though 😂

I’d never pay for gas again.

‘Star Trek: Picard’ Wins 4 Saturn Awards, ‘Strange New Worlds’ Wins 1

@startrek

Facebones ,

SNW had too many colors, everybody knows you’re not allowed to win awards with any more than two tones.

Is Iowa the next step to civil war? ( unherd.com )

In the silence of the Civil War’s Antietam battlefield on a winter day, bucolic hills give way to rows of small, white gravestones in the nearby cemetery. Wandering over the deadliest ground in American history, a melancholy visitor may be excused for wondering if this November’s presidential contest poses the greatest...

Facebones ,

I don’t see how we don’t split. The lines aren’t geographic this time though, they’re largely urban vs rural, so IDK how land would get split up.

I don’t think there’s reconciliation to be had, it’s either war or whichever side decides to declare the other “enemies of the state” and lock em all up. How can you bring people back to society and democracy when their entire belief system begins and ends with “My identifying group is intrinsically superior and should have ultimate dominion?” and they refuse to budge?

Facebones ,

Agreed. I grew up in a rural area and lived in another for years. I miss it conceptually but I can’t live around those types anymore. Sure, there are some that don’t care who you are or what you’re up to even if they’re conservative, but between your house and theirs is a buffet of every symbol in the book clearly signifying that the people there do NOT agree.

Like you said, alot of it isn’t political anymore, it’s moral. For alot of people, now it’s “religious” which inherently makes them immovable. I fell out with my Dad when I turned 18, but I blocked him from my life for good after he commented recently “Those protestors wouldn’t be a problem if we gunned them down.” My aunt scolded me for blocking him over “politics,” nah it’s moral I don’t want that person in my life.

People always talk about compromise, and I’d LOVE to be able to see compromise, but it seems to me that the only “compromise” that happens is giving the right yet another good faith inch so they can yank another bad faith mile (and the fact that if you call them out for acting in bad faith that makes you worse than them somehow.)

Facebones ,

I see a lot of debate about if they should or not, but as far as Canon goes, the Eugenics Wars, right? Am I thinking the wrong franchise?

Facebones ,

I love LD but would agree with this.

Facebones ,

Mariner is Starfleet as fuck

Facebones ,

If you’re not enjoying it, you probably won’t enjoy it. That being said, your complaint is basically the show. Mariner is Starfleet as fuck, but LD is her growing into that and realizing that.

Facebones ,

My favorite part of LD is Star Trek™ shit going on in the background as they’re messing around with menial crap. It’s not always the funniest show but it kills me that there’s always like a proper ST episode going on in the background 😂

Facebones ,

I love Tuvak, man I need to rewatch Voyager, especially after Janeway being in the cartoon!

Facebones ,

Was this any good? I’ve tuned back into trek due to lower decks and SNW, hear about this alot but not about it it was good or not.

Facebones ,

I’ll have to, I only know of it because it was pulled but I know how to go sailing 🤷

Facebones ,

I’ve tried so many times, and I won’t knock it. I think it’s really well made, I just can’t get into it.

Facebones , (edited )

I just started, and it is WEIRD seeing Jason Mantzoukas in a kids show.

Good fit it seems, but WEEIIRDDDD.

Also, maybe it’s the animation being similar but it feels more like Star Wars than Trek. Definitely the big morphing warden Droid feels more Wars than Trek.

Facebones ,

Yeah the murder Droid made it feel more Wars than Trek, butI’m on e7 now and pretty onboard.

I loved Voyager as a kid though so Janeway squee

Facebones ,

I’m not much for watching other people play games but I loved Tabletop so much. Probably because they always edited to explain all the nonsense going on lol

Facebones ,

I’m sick and distracting myself with Jedi Survivor, but I subbed so I’ll remember to check it out. Thanks for the rec!

if you voted for Trump, you go out of your way to prove what an ignorant asshole you are, all day long, every day

Facebones ,

I cut out a Trumper friend because he flat out shushed me for being too political.

The topic I was talking about? Getting half hour busses back.

Facebones ,

Hmm… I didn’t know it was available, I wouldn’t mind grabbing a physical copy of season 1.

Facebones ,

Sweet, I’ll look into it!

Facebones ,

I don’t go out of my way but I’ve been slowly collecting various physical media when I catch a deal or something for a while now :) especially CDs while they’re still cheap second hand before it becomes the next hot “vintage” item haha. I have a local vinyl shop that sells basically all their CDs for $5 but I’ve gotten a bunch of misc off their $1 rack too.

GOP candidate facing multiple child cruelty charges promises to protect kids from LGBTQ+ people ( www.lgbtqnation.com )

As the Shreveport Times reports, Republican John Raymond is running to represent the state’s reliably red House District 104. He previously ran two other unsuccessful bids for a Louisiana house seat in 2018 and 2019, touting his support for former President Donald Trump and his opposition to same-sex marriage....

Facebones ,

And he’ll win, abusing children is a prerequisite for GOP voters.

Facebones ,

As somebody who generally exists outside of all the cliques and status quos, I can’t comprehend how this isn’t already a thing (especially considering that age has been bumped up a couple times to keep “with the times”)

Facebones ,

It sucks that we have a very real loneliness problem as a whole in society, but can’t mention it because every aspect of the concept has been monopolized by Andrew “everything is females fault” Tate types.

Facebones , (edited )

Duh. Republicans and Police are all terrorists, full stop. Their supporters as well. Lock them ALL up and quash any resistence as necessary in line with appropriate escalation of force.

EDIT: Blocked the terrorist who thinks opposing the actively stated Republican goals of trans genocide is “fear porn”

Facebones ,

Found the terrorist.

Facebones ,

Precisely this. I tend to extend the tolerance paradox to violence, sometimes people have never been punched in the face and it shows. Just like tolerance of intolerance only allows intolerance to spread and shit all over everything, so does pacifism in the face of violence. I don’t want her to be hurt, but she supported a system and society that sees violence against trans as a core value and she doesn’t get to shocked Pikachu when she reaps the fruits of her labors.

Sucks to suck. 🤷

Facebones ,

Agreed. I tried either the last mainline or the one before it and it just didn’t do anything for me.

SNW, IMO, is mutha fuckin Star Trek.

Facebones ,

“Star Trek says it’s bad to kill everybody more than 5% different than me

Fucking woke bullshit”

Facebones ,

Yeah I enjoyed Picard even as somebody who hates Two Tone Dramatic Drama™, but #1 had always been what drew me to Trek.

That we COULD be better, and we SHOULD be better.

Facebones ,

The Orville geeks me out, because all the ads play it up as “FAMILY GUYYYYYYY IINNNNN SPPPAACCCEEEE” and I whole heartedly believe that’s how he pitched it to make it happen -

And then it was one big bait n switch, “HAHA actually I’m just a nerd and wanted to make a good scifi show suck it Fox!”

Facebones ,

One does not simply tell Seth MacFarlane no. 😂
