I feel bad for the employees who have to clean that mess.
especially because 1) it will be trashed again in 30 minutes, and 2) they get paid crap

I remember the summer of ’90 waiting for the conclusion of BoBW seemed like forever!
solidarity to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikers, but I’m sad we’ll have to wait so long :(
man, I hope this becomes available somewhere, soon.
I agree with a lot of this. I strongly disliked SNW in the beginning, but it stated to get closer to the TOS “feel”, and that was an improvement. But where they do lots of character work, they do too much, to the point where the stories lack depth. I mean… this is a sci-fi show, but the writers seem to want to make a dramedy set on a starship, and that’s not Trek to me. I want to see the science and tens solving problems together with science! not shooting everything or spending almost the entire episodes between flashbacks and the present, where every. single. thing. is all about working out some personal or interpersonal drama.
out of all of the SNW episodes, maybe 1/4 were actually about exploring space and Trek stuff. the rest are all character drama that’s really exhausting to watch.
S02 found a better balance and helped by making all that drama more “fun”, but the Trek part of the show shouldn’t just be a backdrop or pretext for the characters’ personal drama. I want good sci-fi stories, not convenient setups for will-they-or-won’t-they or having every other episode about dealing with someone’s PTSD. when DS9 did it, they sed a lighter touch so those moments were meaningful. with SNW, it’s everything, and loses meaning.
I agree that this era of Trek is getting overworn, and I’m very ready to focus on another time period with new and different characters. A break will be nice, at last.
so… how do you like openSuSE after 3 years of fedora?
He’s usually pretty good, but i’ve caught him flubbing details here and there.
by getting it surgically altered. I could never show the old face ever again.
also, moving and changing my name.
yikes
Plus the Founders caused their own bout of chaos
well, technically, FC assimilated Earth happened in an alternate timeline, but you make a good point about the Domino War and wanting to avoid that. So, yeah, I’d want to arrive after that ended.
oh, definitely TNG-era Star Trek.
Socialist Space Utopia where I can be or do whatever I like anywhere I like, free of need and want? Sounds awesome!
What would I do? Explore the endless opportunities!
“People in the lgbtq+ community aren’t real trek fans” is absolutely not what he said.
he agreed with it, which is tantamount to saying it himself.
He shouldn’t have agreed with this asshole who tweeted at him, but that is what he did wrong.
yet, you’re here defending him? so, you think it’s ok to agree with bigotry as long as you don’t say it out loud? wow
But this is just not good enough for the woman who quote tweeted him and just had to add her own little flair to the truth to make it sound worse.
Beltran says agrees with a homophobic/transphobic tweet, and your problem is that someone objected? So, to you, the bigotry isn’t the problem, but the fact that anyone has a problem with bigotry and speaks out against it? Because that’s what it sounds like.
where I live + self-identifier
because of course they are
This is good news! I’ve found other communities a little restrictive when it comes to certain types of discussion, and your guidelines are both more permissive and, more importantly, more transparent. Thanks for that!
the alt-right movement is like an abusive relationship, made up of a bunch of very insecure people constantly seeking approval from an abuser who doles it out with an equal amount of degradation, keeping them confused and isolated enough that they have no choice but to keep coming back because - after having driven everyone else away with their hateful rhetoric - the abusive alt-right is now their only source of “community” at all.
it’s a cult.

I don’t want to discuss the incident in detail because it was very traumatic, but long story short, I had a near-drowning incident when I was 12 (technically not a drowning because I survived). I was technically dead for several minutes.
I saw nothing. total blank. I remember flashes of struggling to get to the side of the pool one moment, and flashes of waking up in an ambulance the next. then it cuts out again, and then I woke up in a hospital room with tubes in all my holes (plus some tubes in new holes) and surrounded by my mom and brothers.
