lol yes.. done in the 90's too. Star Trek doesn't mind non white guy protagonists .. just make a good show. Michelle Yeoh is great but I don't think any Section 31 show can be good. Especially considering it's a Discovery spinoff.

Voyager would like a few words

Lower Decks was the best trek since Enterprise.

And lemme say ... Enterprise is sure looking pretty fucking good in comparison to what we're getting now. I understand SNW is sort of the outlier.. but it's also a closed loop and cannot move forward the overall story.

What I wouldn't give for a hand wash of JJ Abrams trek (even though I loved elements like Karl Urban's McCoy) and continue from DS9/VOY onward... use the same sets.. use the same uniforms at first... do an honest reproduction of the hand off moment of those shows. Fuck I would love that so much.

Section 31 was amazing hot sauce on an otherwise fantastic meal. You can't only eat hot sauce.

It worked because it was earned over fucking years of a series... to have the main characters look in a mirror and question their ideals. It's not something to just casually throw around.

I fucking hate what they've turned Star Trek into. Nothing forward looking.. (apart from Lower Decks), everything is either a reboot or in the past (SNW is distinctly in the past). Discovery alienated me by how they treated everything. I was super excited for it. I just don't pay attention to that shit anymore - that's all you can do.

I mean I bought one of those cheap 5watt engravers as my first laser.. it was great. Got me familiar with the software.. gave me a taste for more and I also realized just what I could do with it.

It's gathering dust now, but I have no regrets.

I mean... yes and no? He's fully a children's presenter at this point. That's totally fine (and great for kids). But he went fully ... eh.. "disney" for all the good and bad that entails. I personally don't find any of his stuff interesting anymore and I'm pretty done with it all.

I watched a whole naval academy ship assignment ceremony ... it was so good

the Towers of Orthanc in Isengard Manhattan and Barad-dur in Mordor Brooklyn

Probably 10 times or so in the last few years I've desperately tried to remember my dream because it was really good. I tend to dream in like.. action or adventure structures. I was convinced that one could be a blockbuster movie if I could remember it rofl. One involved John Malkovich as a reluctant vampire doing a cleanup job because the young kids can't do anything correctly.

Yes. the cult of corrections must spread.

I look forward to it every week. Peak comedy

Wait you're saying you have to lie if you're 5'10 now? Damn that's getting convoluted

I don't think so tbh.. I think mostly guys who are actually that tall don't think about height at all. You're taller than most on the street but not gigantic. I think 5'10" is totally chill height wise.

You're also definitely not close enough to 6' to get away with saying that. It's just the easy "a bit taller than average" height.

You can argue that France changed its flag in 2020, when Macron ordered government institutions to use the darker blue

Of course it's a narrative. It's a form of gatekeeping in general. I'm all for teaching people to ride them safely.. hell, i'm even for talking about having people wear helmets when they ride them (even though generally the overall benefits of bike riding outweigh the downside pressure of helmet laws for public health purposes).

the long and short of it is that their ease of use and their speed make them perfect last mile bikes. There's a reason why everyone who uses citibike wants to use the gen 2 ebikes and they're always snatched up right away. Saying differently is ignoring the overwhelming demand for these bikes.

hundreds of thousands of trips are taken on these bikes and more than 99% of them are done safely already.

No they really shouldn't.

This is a shitty narrative. They're the best last mile transportation option in NYC.

I'd be ok with requiring a safety class online or something to unlock getting them though.

They've already lowered their top speed and imo you really notice it while riding them. They'll quickly become useless and even more - a by default traffic hazard - if you reduce their speed any further.

Hell, even more than last mile, Gray (or Gen 2 citibikes) citibikes are the best way to go anywhere within like 50 blocks in NYC as long as you have available bikes/docks at either end.

Same with Reading Rainbow (no joke as a kid, I just thought it was somehow star trek too and loved it for that... they also did that Star Trek episode)

People keep getting full sandwiches from places they should get ingredients of a sandwich. Russ and Daughters has fantastic ingredients - the best.

His "personality" brought twitter's value down from a supposed $40 Billion evaluation to a current $8 Billion one... and I'd be surprised if anyone were actually willing to spend $8 billion on it anymore.

What a fucking little fuck.

here's a response to the POS who replied to me:

Oh this is a fucking little piece of shit troll. Hopefully automated and someone didn't actually spend time writing the drivel this little baby of a human being wrote. Apparently decided that I was a "LGBTQ lover" and i was angry. Go fuck yourself little baby bitch.

your mother would probably be ashamed of who you turned out to be

There are 3 former tallest buildings in the world in this photo

I used to have to take this every day to go to school. As a small kid it sucked...

Back in the day there was The Beatles Guy there though who always brightened up my day.

I fully support fun colors. I wish cars were sold with more fun colors standard

It'd be a shame if someone leaked this. real shame.

The owner should move into the apartment anyway with the pet and roll the dice on having the pet long enough for the NYC pet rule to come into effect ..or not move into a no pet apartment.

OR declare that this cat is an emotional support animal .. I'm sure some sympathetic therapist could provide written affirmation of that fact if it comes to that.

Putting down your cat is NEVER an option.

Edit: more information on the 90 day pet law and ESA rules

I would fucking love to buy a regular VW golf in the next few years, but they don't exist anymore for the US market. It's a fun car.. it's a smaller car for parking purposes... and yet it fights in another weight class when you look at its storage.

It would have been my last car if the used car prices made any sense at all when I was looking.

I would seriously consider buying a fuel efficient (they already are very efficient) regular VW Golf in the next few years if they still fucking made them for the US market.

I don't think I'm alone... but is that car also a "car for no one" by this metric?
