Oy, I missed it. Happy belated cake day, TPM!

Where did you learn this?

Omg those stupid commercials lol

This is trippy, I didn’t know Starship was a thing. JFC, I feel like I’ve been living under a rock. I’m reading up on it on their site, and I’m impressed by the range of shell support and customizable options.

This is gonna be really helpful for me, especially for work… I’m constantly switching between several perpetually-open terminal windows used for different things, and it’s real easy to confuse what local dir I’m in and/or what repo/branch I’m connected to. I didn’t realize I needed this in my command line. Thank you for posting this!

It was really disappointing to learn what a colossal dick Berman is, but it did explain why he was almost completely absent in that DS9 documentary and why no one bothered to mention him. Yeah, terrible choice for a Trek (or any progressive program) showrunner.

I must be hallucinating, I thought I already replied. I hear you about Chakotay, I think I went through similar phases of opinion on the character. Yeah, Beltran did appear to perform in good faith, so I can’t fault him either. It’s awful that it even happened, though.

I grew up watching TOS reruns and was exposed to pretty good representation via Sulu. There was a noticeable difference between Sulu and all other Asian roles on TV and in the movies when I was growing up (80s), and it sure sucked seeing all the gross stereotypes and blatant racism played off as jokes. I’d imagine you can probably relate. Representation matters, especially when you’re a kid!

This is an accurate statement, but (running with the analogy) I like to think ummthatguy carries a benelli compared with the rest of us lol

Btw, side note, sorry if this sounds random (I intended to comment yesterday but got busy and am now just remembering), but the two spirit story you tell is amazing and is a concept I think modern western society could really learn from. So thank you for dropping this knowledge on us from time to time, it’s really cool and much appreciated. There’s an alternate universe out there where a legit First Nation consultant was asked to advise on Chakotay’s back story and development on Voyager, and I imagine stories like this being woven into that show’s fabric. Wouldn’t that be something? Ok I’m done rambling haha, you have a good one. 🖖

Omfg I’ll take the cute loud kitty cat over the sword made out of fuckin wood any day of the week

When I first saw this, I was in a different point in my life and didn’t know who I was (I only knew I was angry and miserable), and I loved that Kor immediately accepted her. It made sense to me. I don’t know if it was subconscious or not, I’ll probably never know.

But I know I really love this scene now, and I’m grateful to the show writers and producers for including it, especially after learning about the uphill battle they faced to integrate themes like this. Inclusion matters and makes a difference, even if stupid assholes complain. It’s a lovely scene, and I’m forever grateful.

All these pride memes are awesome. And you guys are so awesome

Omfg I’m just remembering I did something similar when I was ten or so. I think my little brother was like four?

I’m at 7-11, flipping through comics, and see what I think is my little brother messing with the comic books (putting them in the wrong slots in the magazine stand) out of the corner of my eye, so I scold him and go back to reading. I just hissed at him, didn’t even bother looking.

Then this girl I don’t know comes over, grabs the kid’s hand, says “Come on, <random unfamiliar name>, let’s go.” I look over and I don’t recognize either of them, and she shoots this “wtf is wrong with you, weirdo” look at me and leads him away. And my actual brother? On the other side of the store, oblivious to the world, just being his usual self, picking boogers, nowhere near the magazine stand, and I am clinically dead from embarrassment.

Agreed, it’s so far off the mark that it’s distracting. At least they cast someone older? Maybe they were in a rush and had no time, I know tv series filming can have crazy tight deadlines.

Has anyone done anything (serious or meme) about bad Trek casting decisions? I get the feeling Wesleyan Crasher would be at the top of the list.

Ahahah, that is hilarious, it must have been so awkward! Yeah you are never gonna live that down

Lol get outta here, that is awesome. Happy Mother’s Day!

He was the best, his setups were really good. Lol the bastard

R.I.P. Steve! He’ll be missed! Thanks for posting this

No issues loading or viewing in the Thunder client on Android. Mobile Chrome and Firefox also good. Nice GIF!

Haha, awesome

Whoa, Larry was in Voyager?

You’re comparing assholes to oranges

Facepalm oh jeez, I had the user style set to something other than the default, which renders it white. I don’t remember changing that. Oh well, it’s fixed now. Thank you!
