Miles O'Brien

I like it, but for some reason I don’t like it as the intro.

It totally fits the theme like you say, it definitely has an uplifting hopeful tone.

But it’s just out of place in my brain, so I skip it while watching the show.

Doesn’t stop me from jamming out to it in the car.

I don’t care for a lot of discovery, but I can’t say it’s not entertaining. I have made it to season 2 episode 9 so far. Not sure why but I stopped there and picked up another show.

It doesn’t rank in my top 3 series, but it’s not deserving of all the hate it gets.

I love strange new worlds, haven’t seen the newest season yet but I’m working on rewatching the whole series.

I haven’t seen Picard, and honestly I don’t think I will. I won’t pass judgment on it’s quality, as I haven’t seen any of it, but I know enough to know I might be disappointed.

And if I’m being honest with myself I just want to keep the nostalgia of TNG the way it is: Pretending Nemesis never happened.

The new shows are overall good. Every show has its hits and misses. I skip a lot of season 1 TNG.

And I skip the intro of every Enterprise episode. No, I don’t have enough faith, at least not while watching the show. It’s a banger though and in my Playlist.

It’s okay to not like the new shows, it’s not okay to shit on other people who do.

Executives should be forced work their lowest paid company position, and be dumped in an apartment with absolutely nothing.

See how long they survive.

You can talk to me about my work-life balance when I’m not putting the healthy option back because it’s more expensive than the cheap unhealthy ultra processed bullshit and I can’t justify the expense.

In the old days the brick-and-mortar stores would refuse to stock any game that was even remotely controversial in content or age rating.

Either you’re too young to have experienced “the old days” or you live in a very conservative area.

There was absolutely a mature section for nearly every store I went to, they either had sleeves to cover the games with printed/handwritten titles, or were collected and kept in their own area that was in view of an employee to tell kids to stay away.

Places like Walmart

Oh, you meant department stores, not actual local game stores.

There’s the starfleet way, then there’s the Janeway.

If it isn’t proof they target children, I don’t know what is.

Microtransctions prove they should be illegal every time I read any article about them

To me it’s felt more like “look at me I’m so unique”

I’d love to be able to repurpose my old kindles. I have 3 of them that have been gifted over the years and another two that I could probably just ask for since family members have newer ones.

Ideally I just want to have a simple ebook reader and nothing else for at least two of them.

The only issue is from the (admittedly small) searching I’ve done, they aren’t easy to root or install custom roms due to the software version or how new they are. I’ll admit I don’t exactly know what I’m even looking for.

I’d rather reuse things I already have than buy a new tablet just to read books on, especially since it seems like they’re just overpriced generic crap that all looks and mostly feels the same.

Only because you aren’t shaving your legs…

I know because… Reasons. Normal reasons.

$399.99

Lol

Lmao, even

I ain’t buying that shit. I will happily buy two 3d printers, upgrade them, and print a giant coffee table sized version before I spend that much on such a small set.

go fuck a duck

Poor duck…

“It’s fine, Doc’ll wave a light over it”

ahem that’s “NoJay Consortium”, if you please.

Well yeah, we kind of already knew that…

gestures vaguely to surroundings

I propose taking that 1k, measuring against the average income of anyone who makes under 1M, and use that percentage of cost of living to fine the company appropriately.

Example: 1k fine for someone who makes 10k/yr, that 1k is 10% of their yearly income, whereas a company that makes 10,000,000,000/yr, that’s only 0.0001%

When it’s time for money: COMPANIES ARE PEOPLE TOO!

When it’s time for punishment: but you can’t hold a company responsible, it’s not just one person.

Well I know who I think I am.

I guess Google just says “fuck 'em”?

Yes, 100%, absokutely correct.

Google is a company.

Companies do not care about you. You are not a person, you are a number.

It’s in the pattern buffer, just tap a button or two, and instant ketchup! Way better than using the replicators.

You ask a bunch of questions about a task in order to convince the client that the task doesn’t need to be done at all.

I ask a bunch of questions because I’ve forgotten half the answers already and am trying to make enough stick that I can make something close enough they don’t notice my attention is wandering while they blather.

We are not the same.
