This is like someone standing in Times Square saying, “I don’t go to New York or tourist destinations!”

Why are you here? How did you manage to get here?

Star trek Voyager: Elite force!

It was so good for its time. I loved it so much as a kid. I especially loved the portable pattern buffer being a great in-universe solution to explain how a game character can carry many different weapons. It fits so well into the universe that I half expected to see such a thing on the shows someday. It would have been too disruptive to plot development for the characters always to have what they need with them, though.

Thanks for the giveaway, amazing to see you in the fediverse!

“Coffee, Black.”

“Make it yourself!”

Yeah we need humanoid lizard people with chameleon eyes and tiny inconvenient T-Rex arms.

Yeah! Who’s getting more sad about getting socks every year? As soon as I moved out I started appreciating the gift 😃

If people ask for gift hints I often say “fun socks!”

So nutrek is an umbrella term for Discovery, Lower decks, SNW and Prodigy right? It’s it common for people to hate all 4 with a passion? They’re all sooooo different. I can get hating one, because they are all basically different genres.

I think people are afraid if they support one that they hate, then we’ll get more of the same. So have a knee jerk reaction to be toxic when their hated show is discussed. The irony being that historically star trek is a show that seeks to show an example of interpersonal harmony. These people do want an outlet to discuss their grievances about the shows but mostly see that outlet when someone mentions the show because they love it.

If someone hates all 4, they must be pretty deep into some extreme ideology that somehow doesn’t conform with all of Star Trek.

Maybe startrek.website needs a neutral zone that only allows constructive criticism but still provides an outlet for these feelings. 😅

Edit- I forgot Picard existed, whoops!

Expanse did it well too. There is a character that uses different pronouns, and people just used the right pronouns for them. Thats it. Boom representation achieved.

Now I get that trills were used to stealthily start trying to get trans and gender queer screentime in a very hostile 90s era.

In discovery, Adiras coming out had to once again be aided with the framing of the trill.

Adira had to loudly declare their preferred pronouns in the deep future when all of this was supposed to be no big deal.

It would have been so intelligent if they were just called by their pronouns and were just treated like any other character.

I understood the writers managed to get a coming out story that a lot of people can relate to. But in the future people should just be, and not need to come out.

Am I missing out on some fantastic space shows and movies? I watched the expanse as it came out, the same with Orville. What else is there that suggests market saturation? I need some good stuff this winter 😊

I can’t remember who said this in the show in Universe; maybe Janeway? But I think a similar question was posed, and the answer was that nobody would have anything to do if exploration was entirely automated. It’s fun and exciting and gives people’s lives meaning.

My headcanon is that many mundane things are automated, and we don’t see them because they aren’t plot-relevant.

This is cool. I use an app a lot like this but for my puppy. Logging is super helpful at the start of getting a puppy and trying to track bowel habits and training progress.

If you ever feel like it, a mode for tracking puppies is useful. I currently use “Doggy Time” by a developer that also makes a similar baby tracker.

Perhaps we will be to our descendents as the first tetrapods are to us.

Not the worst thing to happen to a species, seems to happen to all of them.

I got a great new story once these clicks dry up: “Expensive disposable fork thrown out a little earlier than forecasted”

I’m not a fan of Elon but low Earth orbit satellites by nature are meant to de-orbit. Yes they cause astronomy light pollution but cannot cause Kessler syndrome since their orbit is temporary from the start. Being so low there is atmospheric drag, which sometimes slows objects more than predicted.

Making news of this is like being shocked that infrastructure undersea cables and communication lines are falling apart and being replaced. It’s a fact of life.

Why should these things be free? The other things we get for free on the web are either supported by donations or they harvest something from you that’s valuable and sell it, that’s not free either.

I’m into the idea of paying for higher quality services and have enjoyed my kagi trial. Might see if I can find someone to split an account with.

The same behavior happened when sync came out. Endless complaints about an app being from on app store with the option to pay the hard working developer for their work.

Do they go on public transit complaining that see ads there too? At least when you pay for the app the ads go away forever.

I say this one is canon and it’s proof that Trip didn’t die in enterprise. The hologram just got super inaccurate and twisted as it got passed around with lossy compression in a game of telephone like an old meme.

Yes! It’s much nicer than fdroid.

Thirsty dog speaks the truth.

If this was a different franchise I would see this as hyper commercial pandering and useless plastic junk.

But every year my good friends and I have an ornament exchange party where we are supposed to bring an ornament that embodies ourselves in some way or another. This would be perfect, as obviously me being here I love star trek, animals and Data is one of my favorites. Alas on the website I don’t see a direct way to buy this in Canada.

😆

This makes sense.

All they care about is the general well-being of the temporal federation. Perhaps it’s so difficult and wiggly wobbly that it’s worthwhile letting one of your temporal agents languish in the 1900s for decades if in the end it works out for the timeline. Especially if strange circumstances somehow strengthen their position in the temporal wars.
