I saw the JJ Abrams movies, but I’ve pretty much just watched the original, TNG, and sometimes DS9 on repeat for years. Finally starting Voyager now…

The Trekkies on here are a great group for sure.

join us…

Kirk’s overworked kidneys:

Scully doesn’t believe you.

Even as just a standalone project for laughs, I bet something like that would get plenty of views.

Man, I loved that show.

Honestly, I know that people dislike twitter/X, but the ability to summon grok in the comments to look up info that people are arguing about is a cool feature. It’s like an anti “firehose of falsehood” tool.

It’s funny to laugh about right now, but it’s genuinely worrying.

In addition to all the expected work uses, people are also using it for their emails, help with flirting over DMs, writing their vows, winning arguments, etc.

And then he went on his way.

Isn’t that her purse?

The first part is (hopefully) tongue-in-cheek: “foid” or “moid” are variations of a pejorative for “female” or “male” that started unironically in incel circles, but I mostly see it used ironically in memes like this now: similar to others like “Chad, Stacey, Alpha, Sigma” that came from the same place.

Tech is just technique. Calling a new thing you can do a “tech” comes from gaming circles, like how speed runners find strategies to optimize their runs.

I don’t know if it came from elsewhere first, but it’s not very common nowadays in the US.

It’s old-fashioned, and it’s not like the woman’s parents have the authority to say ‘no’. It’s more like a gesture of humility, then a “we accept you into our family” sort of thing. If someone does it these days, it’s probably in the south and with a really traditional family who they’re trying to impress.

I’ve had good luck with steam games, although I mostly play older titles these days and not online multiplayer.

Jesus, that’s ridiculous!

I had an SSD die on me a few months ago (boot sector got corrupted). It took forever for me to figure out what was wrong… It was a Samsung SSD, but since it was 13 years old, it’s hard to say it was a quality issue.

I don’t know if I’m just seeing more of it because I switched to Linux myself, but it certainly feels like Linux has taken a giant step toward the mainstream recently.

I just got fooled by the John Williams post also. I’m going to have to get off the internet today for my heart’s sake.

There’s occasional goofy humor, but the “dad jokes” like this are just made up for the meme template.

(also for what it’s worth, I always recommend starting where it all began: with the original!)
