- Comment on A SpongeBob themed goody bag I made for a recent party (except the ring) 2 months ago:
Thanks! They were not my initial plan, but I think they turned out quite well.
I actually spent several months trying to track down a bulk quantity of blue “Flying Fist” toys to be the glove. Three pastel “Flying Fist” toys. These childrens’ toys will launch the fist using air pressure if you squeeze the handle. I was also considering mini boxing glove keychains for a little while. Eventually I somehow had the brain-blast to make a custom sticker instead, which would be much easier (and cheaper) to get.
It worked out really well, too, because I was about to put each guest’s name on the back of the sticker so every person would get a gift-bucket with the right sized shirt in it.

Thanks! I was a little bummed out to realize “The Wash” was too obscure a reference for even the most SpongeBob savvy of my guests; but I thought it was funny, and I guess that’s what counts.

- Comment on Unfortunately, the Goran'Agar Rehabilitation Clinic actually has a very low success rate 6 months ago:
It seems like being xenophobic is a deliberate part of his character (look at how he treats Cardassians too); but I am always taken aback when he says something awful, because it feels so out of place in the optimistic future.
Plus, it seems like even the other in-universe characters are bothered by it (Keiko and Dr. Bashir have raised issues with it by the episode I am up to), so it is extra strange that he is “allowed” to just go around being casually xenophobic and hasn’t been sent to Federation sensitivity training or something.

My interpretation was that ketracel-white was both chemically addictive AND needed for the specific amino acid (or whatever it was that their body could not produce).
This, to me, meant that any Jem’Hadar that wanted to drop ketracel-white would go through withdrawal and then die painfully. For most Jem’Hadar the two different aspects would be indistinguishable from each other and viewed as one effect.

- Comment on Matthew Vaughn Quit ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’ Over Fake Script Written for Halle Berry: ‘I’m Out of Here’ 8 months ago:
After reading the article, I’m not surprised First Class was my favorite of the X-Men franchise; it really seems like Matthew Vaughn understands what was needed. Putting DoFP right after instead of letting the younger cast stand on their own for a while always felt like a mistake to me, and I missed the lighter tone from First Class as well.
I also found it interesting he was thinking of Tom Hardy for a young Wolverine, since I’ve seen that thrown around as a fan-casting for a while.
- Comment on ‘Daredevil’ Hits Reset Button as Marvel Overhauls Its TV Business 8 months ago:
It’s a bit of a long read, but I thought it was interesting what a mess the Marvel production was.
Marvel Studios has always had a tough relationship with TV cough Inhumans cough. I think Agents of SHEILD being their only successful non-Netflix show before launching a plethora of shows on Disney+ (and even that one was a little rough around the edges).
Since launching Disney+, I have personally found the Marvel TV quality to consistently hit C+/B- quality, with occasional highlights (the first half of Wandavision, most of Loki); which surprised me since I felt the movies hit higher quality more consistently.
It makes sense the TV landscape has been hard with Marvel after reading this article, though. Committing to a whole season/ series with no pilot seems risky enough, but combine that with no show-runner and a fix-it-in-post attitude, and it’s a shock the shows came out as passable as they did.
It sounds like Disney is planning to change that, but I’m not sure how much I believe that to be honest. It’s also worth noting that I only think it’s happening because of the recent negotiation with the WGA.

I recently started TNG and saw that episode for the first time a week or two ago. When she died, I literally did not believe it right up until the end of the episode because of how anti-climactic her death was. I was absolutely sure it was going to be a fake-out.
When the episode ended, I had to look up why she was written out because I was so utterly perplexed.
- Comment on Reflectacles to escape Facial Recognition 10 months ago:
As far as I can tell, these supposedly protect you from facial recognition because they reflect IR. I’m not an expert in security cameras, but don’t they only use IR at night? While they could technically run 24/7, that would burn out the LEDs in half the time.
These are also quite similar to the “anti-paparazi” reflective clothing. If you are interested in these as a statement piece, those might be of interest to you as well.
These seem like the developer came up with the function of the sunglasses after coming up with the sunglasses (after being inspired by the anti-paparazi clothes).
All in all, I don’t really see much value in these sunglasses; and I suppose I wouldn’t really be that concerned about facial recognition with proper masking safety, anyways.
- Comment on **BLUE BEETLE Discussion Megapost** 2023-08-18 🪲🦸 10 months ago:
Overall, I thought it was a cute enough movie.
The CGI and costume looked rough to my eyes, but I gave it more slack afterwards when I found out this was originally slated to be an HBOmax release. The superhero aspects also felt a little played out and dragged a little, but nothing that was an active detriment to the movie
Where the movie really shines, though, is the family. They are the heart of the movie and have phenomenal chemistry. I’m glad they’re carrying over to the James Gunn universe, as it would have been a waste of elephantine proportion to lose this cast. As a quick aside, I wish we got a little more of the dad and a little less of a George Lopez, but their overall dynamic was still great.
My biggest issue with the movie, though: not enough Harvey Guillén! He’s great in What We Do in the Shadows and when I saw him on screen, I was anticipating him to steal the show in Blue Beetle. Unfortunately, he did not get nearly as much attention as I’d hoped; but I pray he’ll somehow return for the next one (though I doubt it).
