There’s no edge here, man. It’s mainstream now. This guy is turning into a bona fide folk hero.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 3 weeks ago:
I honestly hope he’s never caught, but that’s not very realistic. The only real bright side to his inevitable capture is that we’ll know what name and face to put on the statues.

Some will bring up the “slippery slope” as a reason for us to treat this guy within the legal system as we would any other killer. I would respond to this people that we’re already barrelling headlong down a greasy slope and have been for a long time now.
Far from endangering is further, this guy has shown us an offramp.

That would seem to be a pretty big leap out of character for Mariner. She only acts like she doesn’t have boundaries, but she actually sets pretty rigid limits on where she’s willing to go with people she considers close friends.

I have this headcanon now that Boimler met his purple universe self once, and that’s why he started dying his hair.
Wait a minute now, is he actively dying his beard as it grows in? That’s pretty weird, isn’t it? Did he lie in his own personal log about dying his hair, or does the hair dying occur at a follicular level?

Reading these posts of yours is my favorite thing to do immediately after every new episode. Entertaining and informative as always!
I was surprised that there was no reference to Boimler’s hair color in this episode. It has been such a non-issue that I almost wonder if there’s something in the show bible about conspicuously never mentioning it, beyond a single throwaway admission in Boimler’s personal log about dying it (LD s3e01).
It could have been fun if there was some weird connection to the purple dimension, especially with how his facial hair has been a running subplot this season.

There’s a trope out there that Gen Z has to do everythingbfor themselves because the older generations have failed them so thoroughly.

They already own a second or third house in a mountain state so they can ski in the winter. They’re already pre-migrated.

No, I think it’s because they want to hug the mountain, to envelop…that mountain.

I’m just glad that people with bizarre sexual hangups are channeling those into fulfilling creative pursuits. Still not a fan of how anime girls all have the faces of ten year olds though.

The Enterprise crew is climbiing the Black Mountain, why are they climbing the Black Mountain?

My headcanon is that it’s fiction, and we diverged from it in 1966.

Every since one of them tore out half the insulation from my car hood and stuffed it in every corner of the engine compartment, I’ve had it out for them. Furry little obsessive compulsive weirdos.

Idunno, old man McCoy in the TNG pilot was pretty memorable, as was Picard in the first episode of DS9. It’s a fun tradition.
- Comment on What's your favourite Star Trek theme? 3 months ago:
Lower Decks is the best one of all the post kelvin Treks, for sure, but that might be because it’s borrowing so heavily from TNG/TMP.

- Comment on Why 🤷♂️ do users 👨💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭? 3 months ago:
I mean the easiest solution is to enable a toggle to just switch them off. As many people have pointed out they’re usually superfluous or used mainly for emphasis anyway. It’s doubtful that much actual meaning would be lost.
What I had in mind immediately at first was a more sonic implementation, where certain emojis would be expressed as sound effects rather than simply dictated as descriptive phrases. 👏 would be expressed as a clap sound, etc. Naturally I recognize this would be massive effort to implement, but maybe if your concern is accessibility then that’s what you should be shooting for. Rather than limiting non-dieqbled persons can use because a small proportion of people can’t experience it properly, work towards translating that into something they can experience.

Well sure, but the occasional well-placed emoji can art up a comment too. The problem isn’t the emojis, it’s people using them poorly.

That seems like a limitation of the screen reader than anything else. It needs to either translate those more succinctly or just ignore them.

It’s mostly just a snobbish “get off my lawn” response based on the popularity of said emojis on platforms popular with the youths. 🦾🧐🫴
