  This is such a classic communication problem. I’d like to hear how to overcome it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I... I would pay good money to see Bashir and O'brien getting trapped in this holonovel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Lmao it is now my goal to use the phrase “language salty enough to cure pork”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I... I would pay good money to see Bashir and O'brien getting trapped in this holonovel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The Founder Pounder series could be interesting. With horny shape shifters, the depravity is limited only by your imagination!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[HN] Goldman Sachs reportedly said Apple Card savings account was a mistake⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do I keep hearing about this? Goldman Sachs screwed up, and they have no one to blame but themselves. Chance and bad luck were not involved at any stage. I’m sure the terms were decided on well in advance, and in excruciating detail, which is supposed to be what they’re good at. All the information they needed was right there.

  They could (and should) have seen this coming, but instead, they were blinded by greed, didn’t do the math, or both. Boo fucking hoo.

  Wow, that’s bad. She looks (and moves) like she’s from The Sims.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gotta find some way to pass the time on that long trip home.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The “Bored!” panel alone made me laugh!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[TECHCRUNCH] Phasio helps local manufacturers manage their customer relationships⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  TechCrunch being lazy. This is more like a press release than a story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Resistance was futile⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  While my tastes are different, yours is an opinion I can respect, because you recognize Mulgrew’s awesomeness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Resistance was futile⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It works for me because Mulgrew really didn’t like Jeri Ryan at first, so throwing someone out the window for even suggesting a sexy new character makes sense.

  (For anyone who hadn’t heard this before, it turned out fine. Mulgrew and Ryan were friends by the time the show ended.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still trying to get me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, yeah. That’s why I called it “tiny” and “not worth it”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still trying to get me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It just occurred to me that this is one of the (tiny) benefits of English being a confusing pain in the ass to learn: phishing scams are often much easier to spot.

  Overall, it’s not worth it, of course, but still.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oberth Slander #2⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, now I kinda do want to try and tell you that, just to see what your response will be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oberth Slander #2⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I must object to the slander of the Miranda class. That is one of my favorite starship designs of all time, Star Trek or otherwise.

  I have no problem dumping on the Oberth class, though. Those things are crap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suella Braverman reacts to photo of herself standing on dog at Tory party conference⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeesh. Saying nothing at all would have been better than trying to make a joke of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[HN] Please don’t theme our apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  At first, I thought a theme was just a color scheme, and my initial reaction was “relax, people. Let people use different colors if they want”. After actually reading things, though, I saw that what they mean by “themeing” is much more complex. They have some solid arguments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Racist provokes Klingon. Klingon breaks Racists nose.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Racist provokes Klingon. Klingon breaks Racists nose.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I recognize this scene, but can’t remember what it’s from. Help!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to find a show I watched before⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Is your username a reference to The Good Place? If so, I approve! 👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to find a show I watched before⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yaaaaaaaay!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to find a show I watched before⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I asked some friends. The first response I got was “Love Sick?” I don’t know if the question mark is part of the title or if they were uncertain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monty Python?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is an especially good one. Nice! 👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon To Start Running Ads In Prime Video Series & Movies, Will Launch Ad-Free Tier For Extra Fee⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As far as I’m concerned, the presence of commercial “breaks” makes a movie unwatchable. A good writer, director, or editor carefully manages things like pace, timing, and emotional impact. Interrupting that with an ad for car insurance completely destroys the mood, and cheapens the entire experience. I don’t care if commercials are “limited”. They shouldn’t be there at all.

  I only tolerate commercials if I’ve already seen a movie a million times, and I’m only half paying attention anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I love this conversation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California sues five major oil companies for 'decades-long campaign of deception' about climate change⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I like California’s reasoning here. I don’t know if the lawsuit will be allowed to succeed, but to me it seems only fair.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[HN] Amazon's Union-Busting Training Video⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  We won’t describe ourselves as anti-union, but we will constantly use the phrase “warning signs” when talking about indications of possible organizing activities. Also, “living wage” is a no-no word.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Amazing catch!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you risk the virus to click this game ad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I would be very tempted… but then I’d also wonder if the ad was the best part. You know, like a great trailer for a crappy movie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Putting Kim’s head on that guy is quite possibly the best use of that pic I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen some damn funny versions. Nice!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[TECHCRUNCH] X, formerly Twitter, challenges California’s new transparency law as unconstitutional⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In my totally unprofessional opinion, if an irresponsible asshole is against a law designed to force responsible behavior, said law is probably a good idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Danny Masterson Is Sentenced to 30 Years to Life in Prison for Two Rapes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You have to be MUCH more rich and famous before you can get a watch with stuff like this. Didn’t he read the Celebrity Handbook?

  Good riddance.
