Yeah this is one thing that’s been irritating me.

I had friends in highschool who were catholic, one even got about 75% toward being a priest, and they always said whatever the pope says is catholic “law” (not their word, but I can’t remember the words they said exactly)

Now suddenly the pope can be wrong? What changed? The bible certainly didn’t…

A tan suit was considered a “big story”

If that had happened, there would have been a republican countrywide manhunt to execute him.

Daily reminder: Fuck Rick “That Asshole” Berman

I always thank the first few enemies for their service. It’s through their sacrifice we learn.

The first one almost never gets to kill anyone. Except that goddamn goomba fuck that guy.

And thousands of people everywhere read that title, didn’t bother looking a single bit into it, and are now repeating to everyone they know “Japan cured aging!” until someone corrects them.

Yeah, respond to further humor with sarcastic asshole behavior, that’s the way to grow a community.

Sorry, my dude, I can’t believe I forgot to Spoiler tag something so plot critical!

A couple minor changes to this one:

Obrien: gets imprisoned and tortured while returning cart, gets dumped next to the corral for pickup

Garak: convinces someone else to return the cart. They are happy to do so for such a charming gentleman. Merely a simple tailor, of course.

Someone more clever than me can find a joke there, I’m sure!

Oooh, sorry. The one for Yar is incorrect.

“Dies walking over a strip of tar while returning the cart”

Every day we played, we knew how the night was going to end.

At some point when it’s getting late, we’ll all be trying not to be the first one to say anything, then one person shoots another, it devolves into a half hour of free-for-all; explosions, probably literal tons of bullets, and when we all finally ran out of ammo and started beating each other to death with pool cues, bats, and police batons, the night would come to an end.

And then another half hour of talking while a few wandered around aimlessly in cars or sat on the dashboard.

I get all the local disaster updates from startek.website!

So far, nothing has been reported, but I have a feeling the users will come pouring in soon!

Aaaaaaaany day now…

My house flooded. But it’s not reported, so it didn’t happen!

Sure would be cool if the US wasn’t anywhere near there and started minding it’s own fucking business and stopped supporting a nation set on genociding it’s displaced neighbors (and don’t ask how they got displaced either or you’re somehow racist)

That said, why would any country near there want to send out a boat to intentionally get near the US navy? I wouldn’t do that during the best of times, and I once volunteered for them. During wartime conditions? I wouldn’t be within 250 miles of a naval ship, and that would still feel too close.

There really isn’t a single country on the planet that can match the US navy. We don’t feed or house or take care of our people, but we sure do make a lot of weapons.

And I mean all of that as an insult.

Lmao be mad all you want, the fact is ships wouldn’t be getting attacked here if the US were minding it’s business from the very beginning. Saying “it’s because piracy” is just an excuse. Show me pirates, and ones that aren’t just being opportunistic about a conflict the US STUCK ITS NOSE IN

When should you introduce her to the new shows?

After watching the old ones, of course!

Start with TOS, move on to the first set of movies, watch TNG, DS9 and Voyager, generations to nemesis, THEN you start on the new shows.

I mean, technically you could show in some kind of chronological order, but then she’s going to be frustrated by the differences in technology. Especially discovery. They reeeeeally wanted to be more high tech than anything else while still wanting to be set before most things we’ve seen. IMO, it’s very jarring and doesn’t work well. But I just ignore the “it’s before everything else” problem and it’s a decent show.

I’m certainly biased, but I feel shows should be shown in the order they aired, not the order they’re supposed to go according to Canon. They are a product of their time, for better or worse, and most issues I feel are more easily sidestepped if you view them as such, all together. Seeing the strings on the enterprise two episodes in a row is a lot easier when you don’t have to compare it with pike’s sexy hair modern cgi space battles.

I used to screw around with friends as The Panto Gang where we decked out pantos in the most ridiculous visual mods, and drove circles around people until they started trying to blow us up.

In 8 months, I put more time into gta online doing that than in the 9 years afterward.

Jesus christ that episode…

I dare anyone to Watch that and tell me casual racism against the Irish died out a long time ago…

Starting the year out as an optimist I see!

Sometimes it is effective. Just ask everyone who salivated over the PATRIOT act.

Now whether is justified is an entirely different story.

Well, that was plastic, this is 24k leaf.

I’m not about to advocate anyone waste $450 on something like this, but from what I know of the human body and chemistry, it should survive in your stomach if you take it with food.

If someone wants to verify, you doo-doo you I guess.

Well my wife likes to wear hers when she goes to pick up food, so maybe this woman likes to wear it when she’s driving.

Heck I know someone who refuses to drive without a specific pair of gloves “because driving doesn’t feel right without them” and they have a panic attack without them.

Or maybe they take turns wearing it. Or even just on special occasions and I happened to witness one.

Whatever the case, it made my day
