  Twist: a red shirt is watching the video trying to use it as a tutorial, and can’t replicate lockpickinglawyer’s results.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I had always wondered the same thing about these cups⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t. It’s probably got grounds or something settled into the bottom and the cup is shaped like that on purpose to prevent you from drinking them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sorry, but your post makes it sound like that’s what you’re saying. Either that or you consider pithy, dismissive responses (ie “cope and seethe” or PPB) to be trolling, which I also disagree with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I disagree with the characterization of Hexbear as being trolls. A bunch of people disagreeing with you in an argument isn’t trolling, if they were following you to other comments or sending you threatening DMs and shit now that’s a different story.

  We can get a computer to tag the birds, answer questions about them, and generate new pictures of them.

  I was being glib but yeah shit sucks. There was a long stretch of my life where if something had happened to the bus I took to work I would have been fuuuuuucked.

  A guy named Kevin was riding the subway playing his Steam Deck. A true tragedy.

  I feel like the holodeck probably has a “private browsing” mode. It would be like the first thing they implemented.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think individual blocking of entire lemmy instannces is a planned feature, just got to wait for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why were the TOS movies better than the TNG movies?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel the same way. I think it’s just because the TNG films wanted to turn Picard into Kirk and frankly Patrick Stewart can’t carry an action scene (neither can any of the rest of the TNG crew tbh). The TNG cast would have been perfect to do a plot about space whales or a dangerous anomaly flying towards Earth, but they kept trying to do The Wrath of Khan but worse.

  Also a pox on everyone who says that Motion Picture or The Search for Spock are bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m thinking of Picard being a cyborg now (before everybody just agreed not to talk about it), but I’d have to rewatch disco to get a more specific example and I’m not doing that. It’s a feeling I have that I admittedly could be off base on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s interesting because it kind of highlights how a lot people perceive Star Trek technobabble (or at least, the pop-cultural understanding they have of it) as being incoherent nonsense when a lot of the shows have put in a lot of effort into making it not that. One of the most annoying things about the newer Treks is that apparently the writers at CBS started believing it too, causing them to take less care with technobabble in those shows and actually writing a bunch of nonsense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It would explain a lot.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t everyone in the Federation have a universal translater? I always assumed it was some kind of implant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Andrew Tate prosecution files reveal graphic claims of coercion ahead of trial⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  God damn I just found out the other day about this guy’s accusations in the UK which had actual texts of him admitting to sex crimes and the cops still refused to investigate. What a POS I hope he rots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hexbear federation megathread⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The black book of communism is one of the most hokey and widely debunked pieces of sloppy anticommunist propaganda ever made. You would know this if you had ever interrogated your sources even a minuscule amount.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hexbear federation megathread⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  lmao you’re a black book guy? To think I felt bad and deleted my comment.

  Landlords, kulaks, Nazis collaborators etc are not ethnic groups, they are groups of people who have explicitly chosen to do something that is incredibly harmful to others, often thousands or millions of others. Saying that they deserve to die is no different than saying that someone who commits a murder does, it’s just that our society has conditioned you into thinking that the terrible things wrought by capitalists are “normal”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hexbear federation megathread⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why the international symbol for getting someone who actually deserves is it the-doohickey

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spocking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Scotty says he “bought” a boat at one point, but I’ve also seen long explanations that “bought” doesn’t necessarily mean with money and it’s just a common Human expression for when you get something.

  I think it’s clear that on Federation worlds you can just rock up to a replicator and get anything that isn’t dangerous (and you can get the dangerous stuff with the right license/permit), but on the frontier/border areas (ie DS9) Federation citizens receive a stipend or a wage so that they can live “on the economy” along with the non-Federation citizens.
