Too many ads lying to me about hot single chromosomes seeking casual synapsis in my area.

Tekeli-li

I agree with basically everything you said, although I’ve found more things than just the Gorn in SNW to be cranky about. While TNG era never TRIED to get science and engineering right… they tried WAY harder than SNW, which is saying something and NOT a good something. It’s like TNG’s attitude was “We know we’re goofy, but we DO have technobabble consultants, and we try to link some of what we’re doing to real physics and engineering” while SNW is like “We don’t even like, bother man… rule of cool in a Hollywood hipstery writer way, we don’t really know what we’re talking about, nor do we care… hey can we get mocha lattes to the writers room ASAP?” Major pet peeve of mine.

Also, I love Carol Kane as an actress, but she’s just Lillian in space, and honestly, I really didn’t ever need that. It feels out of place, but shoe horned in anyway.

Certainly, some of my joy in the show also just has to do with it just being better than Discovery (for which I’m like…oh thank god) and just gratitude that at least they’re trying to make something LIKE Star Trek.

Lower Decks was a better show. So was The Orville.

Having worked with a bunch of Boomer and older Gen X EEs, it is a fucking misogynistic boys club of white ass old men with undiagnosed autism. I have never heard so many racist and sexist jokes in the workplace (except when I worked in VC, and those guys were JUST sexist).

So this surprises me not at all (in fact, I think I’ve heard it before, but as “Black Boys * * *”).

Shrek is love. Shrek is life.

Yiff.

Even a broken Berman is right twice a season.

I always thought it was a “Dandy Lion,” like a fancy Victorian gentleman lion.

Also

“Uhuhuh… you thaid blow balls.”

“Yeah! Heheh! Yeah!”

This makes me want to implement a programming language as an alternate tabletop magic system. Maybe give my players runes to experiment with and let them figure out it’s a programming language.

Not futa enough.

Many of my self hosted solutions are just DIY cludges. I was talking to a friend of a friend on Saturday about media streaming and he told me all about his Jellyfin setup and then asked about mine and I was just like “I just store MP4s on an SSHFS drive and play them in VLC on my TV (which runs Linux Mint).” When the survey asked about the various types of software I was like “No… I don’t use anything like that… wait… yes I do! I just don’t use a prebuilt solution!”

Data has scanned everywhere,

Searching for a sign.

And there within the warp core,

Is the answer to a never ending time loop!

Yay, a time travel episode.

Also, thespec.com has some very obnoxious javascript going on.

Know people that worked with him, can confirm.

“Move fast and break things” Startup mindset is dangerous when taking your customers into potentially hostile environments. If only Michael Crichton had warned us about that decades ago.

Now Lt. Warf, Tasha and I jump out of the targ, taking them totally by surprise!

I knew that.

They also thrive on incest, and love to breed with their own parents and siblings.

Bedbugs are already just super gross, but the more you learn about their biology the more gross they become.

Because Lemmy is like social media and Matrix is like Slack and Discord and they both followed the conventions of their predecessors. You’re welcome to go take it up with the devs on Lemmy.ml.

Neither my wife or my ex (my son’s mom) thought this joke was funny.

But my son laughed at it.

Be as uninteresting as possible. Millions if not billions of people’s information of this sort is out there.

And honestly, my sourness with the 32nd century is sourness with Disco. It remains the only Trek series I haven’t seen every single episode of.

So I’ll give Academy a chance.
