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.
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...
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.
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...
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?
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.)
Inspired by the ongoing Resurgence giveaway, I thought it might be fun to discuss some of our favourite Trek games. Underappreciated gems are particularly welcome!
I really don’t like Lower Decks. Before you downvote, I would never tell anyone it’s bad or that they shouldn’t like it. I just really can’t figure out why most people seem to like it so much....
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.
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 😂
I poked around a while and couldn’t find anything, I see memes from y’all all the time and the progressive nature of Star Trek has got me. I wanna watch it....
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.
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
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.
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....
The U.S. Libertarian Party has filed for conservatorships for President Joe Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, referring to them as “geriatric elites” mentally unfit to properly serve the American populace....
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”)
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.
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”
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.
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!”
