The one where Tuvok chokes the life out of Neelix on the holodeck: relatable.

Recently started a rewatch of Voyager and canโ€™t seem to tell if somehow the first season and a half contain all my least favourite episodes or Iโ€™ve just had tragically rose coloured glasses about this for thirty years. ๐Ÿค”

Every time a republican gets in front a camera they should be asked to name and prove antifa leadership, funders, and locations.

One day I should make a list of the most laughably bad technology in science fiction, but โ€œThe Fallโ€ in Total Recall (2012) has to be ranked #1.

In some alternate universe where this wasnโ€™t manufactured, building a Charlie Kirk bear is unhinged gross pathological insane person behaviour and society should not give one lukewarm soggy shit what events occur in that mentally ill persons life apart from their access to psychiatric treatment.

The only thing I wanna know about this dumb shit build-a-bear story is how many places this idiot rage bait farmer had to go before they found somebody that would say no.

Iโ€™d have started Kite Man: Hell Yeah a long time ago if Iโ€™d known it features Natasia Demetriou delivering lines like โ€œI hope you and your large pores are happy!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Iโ€™m glad people are making some, but why the weakest version of the argument? Congress needs more former high school debate kids than just Katie Porter. There are so many more incontrovertible and damning accusations than just โ€œheโ€™s unwellโ€.

I noticed this half-assed sign stapled about 9ft up a light pole on my walk through the gayberhood this morning. The bigots that hung it clearly didn't count on 1) A Very Tall Gayโ„ข๏ธ with 2) the accompanying gangly arms and 3) nothing but time to ruin a transphobe's day.

Media placidly regurgitating the content of this morningโ€™s totalitarian sermon as if itโ€™s something other than the constitutional San Francisco fire of 1851 is so surreal. Predictably facile and feckless forgone conclusion, but surreal nonetheless.

Solutions in search of problems. ๐Ÿ™‚โ€โ†•๏ธ

But, I think it will take a fair bit longer for that to be sufficiently proven out such that everyone realises itโ€™s hype (they might argue plenty of time to fix the faults ๐Ÿ™„) than the typical bubble burst -> financial crisis cycle weโ€™ve become accustomed to.

This. Also, if a central pillar of AI hype is that it has to be learned to be used then itโ€™s already failed at one of its core value propositions.

Okay, it wasnt just that I was a Zelda noob the first time, BotW really is a higher degree of difficulty than TotK was.

You spend the first sixteen hours of the game getting one-hit by everything and any shit that might help with that is locked behind some unclimbable wall or impenetrable barrier.
