- Comment on I'm about to have to get a second job 5 days ago:
Definitely the worst thing that happened during those years.
- Comment on Wagon Train to the Stars 2 months ago:
I think TOS had as many mobster episodes as it did cowboy episodes.
- Comment on Let's Give Prodigy a Little More Meme Love 2 months ago:
I thought people didn’t like him because he said something stupid on twitter? Can’t find it now of course.
- Comment on 👣👣👣 2 months ago:
Yeah, it saves you money…by costing the prospective employee. There’s only so much we can or should be willing to give up for free, and it’s 3 interviews.
I also question if more than that is really improving the quality of your hires. Far more often, multiple interviews are more a symptom of bureaucracy; multiple managers insisting that they get to stick their fingers in the pie, rather than actually learning anything more meaningful about the candidate.
- Comment on 👣👣👣 2 months ago:
Never do more than 3 interviews. And that’s assuming they’re relatively short, maybe 1 hour apiece. Any more than that, and they don’t want you bad enough.
- Comment on Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code? 3 months ago:
There are probably legitimate uses out there for gen AI, but all the money people have such a hard-on for the unethical uses that now it’s impossible for me to hear about AI without an automatic “ugggghhhhh” reaction.

Then the US flag will become Jeffrey Combs.
Not like, a picture of Jeffrey Combs. Just a spare one, clinging to a flag pole.
- Comment on What are the biggest red flags when talking with a Trek "fan"? 4 months ago:
Every captain gets a little genocide, as a treat.
- Comment on So um, about Ferengi’s having their lives rubbed… 5 months ago:
- Comment on It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose 5 months ago:
Sisko and Kirk have already had a crossover episode, so I have to assume the entire journey would just be Sisko pitching tribbles at Kirk.
- Comment on What I have to assume people complaining about Starfleet officers not always blindly following orders actually want 8 months ago:
Captains are actually fully autonomous, admirals just exist to make sure they feel like cool badass maverick rebels.
- Comment on Why did they put eyeliner on evil Kirk 😳 (I'm watching TOS for the first time) 8 months ago:
Queercoding villains to make them seem dangerous and deviant to the people of the time (and those that are still stuck in that time). Admittedly, the people making that decision probably weren’t conscious of that being why they thought eyeliner made him look villainous.
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
Yeah, it’s been awhile, but iirc in the first episode Janeway springs Paris from a prison in new zealand because she needs a pilot.
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
Besides, federation prison is just a sunny beach on New Zealand anyway. The worst part is getting stuck in the delta quadrant but that happened like one time.
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
Great filters are strictly hypothetical anyway.
- Comment on Best character in the entire franchise (OC) 11 months ago:
Love Majel Barret, hate Lwaxana.
Also, did we have this same conversation a couple weeks ago on telegram?
- Comment on Best character in the entire franchise (OC) 11 months ago:
She’s a sex pest though, worse than Barclay.
- Comment on What is this, an Alamo for ants? 11 months ago:
I completely missed that lol. Thanks for pointing it out to me
- Comment on The origin of starfleet combat training. 11 months ago:
There is a huge stage influence. Just look at how 90% of the planets are a couple of boulders in front of a cyc.
- Comment on What is this, an Alamo for ants? 11 months ago:
The funniest part of this is the last panel. Why is DS9 moving at warp get down from there
- Comment on Every race needs at least one. 11 months ago:
“You can’t fuck if you’re dead” what’s to understand
- Comment on A good grade at parties 1 year ago:
What would you consider sincerely fun, no pretending? Would any of those activities be something you could share with loved ones? Boom, party.
- Comment on A good grade at parties 1 year ago:
I think it depends how close you are with the people around you. I had a good time at a friend’s holiday party recently (with no drugs or alcohol) just because I really love those folks and I’d enjoy spending time with them no matter what.
- Comment on Discuss 1 year ago:
The trolley problem is bullshit because in the real world when you’re presented with a lose-lose situation, the correct response is to look for a third option.
- Comment on Remember: 9 months until we build a statue of this guy. 1 year ago:
We SHOULD put up a statue to Avery Brooks. Why not? He’s a dang treasure.
- Comment on Is this right? Not a Star Trek fan. 1 year ago:
Ah but they’re non-temporal. If Q ever did that, they wouldn’t be present when we see them in ds9, therefore Q does not and can not!
- Comment on Starfleet may have a security problem 1 year ago:
And then once you’re a captain you can pretty much violate the prime directive as much as you want with impunity.
- Comment on Starfleet may have a security problem 1 year ago:
Section 31 actually knows about all the infiltrators, but at least in early stages of their infiltration when they’re trying not to arouse suspicion they end up doing a better job than the human admirals would have anyway, so they’re allowed to do their thing.

Ya made me look bad!
