No offense to the bald comminuty meant, my favorite commanding officers were bald!

I just meant some of the right wingers are already making themselves bald (skinheads) like ferengi are bald.

Perhaps not forced birthers, they ARE however extremely sexist and force their women to be naked at all times, and have no rights…

I’d say the rest of us are more like aliens forced to LIVE on Ferenginar.

Don’t even get me started on how the average right-wing/incel/pilled male is basically already an honorary ferengi…

Sharpen their teeth and give them some giant lobes and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Some of them even shave their heads already…

Here’s the one that convinced my dad that connecting everything is bad:

Your smart fridge knows what’s inside and knows you just added a 12 pack of soda and donuts to the shopping list. They sell that data to a bunch of companies, including your insurance company. They know you have diabetes.

Your insurance rates just went up for the fifth time this year because your insurance company knows what you’re eating.

And it’s a good thing you don’t drink beer or your car insurance would have gone up ‘due to increased risk factors.’ too bad you wanted to buy a new car this year.

Not only can you not afford it now, the price went up because they know you want a car. I’m sure they would make a payment deal with you though.

And every company will know all about the deal, the beer, the donuts, and all it took was sending money to whatever company had the information, and they were more than happy to sell it.

The more we allow companies to freely operate like this without regulation and without proper punishment for breaking the rules, we will continue sliding toward the hellscape of Ferenginar. For the non trekkies, it’s a hyper-capitalist species of profit-driven assholes.

Pfffft. Miss me with that shit.

I drink tea thank you.

I saw an arcade version at a flea market in Ohio a few weeks ago.

I was confused as fuck, but figured “well the creator probably doesn’t give enough of a shit to sue anyone over it”

I guess I’m kinda right.

And since this is the world we live in, most people proceed with that understanding.

This was not the case in 2007.

That could come later.

For now it just means reassigned to a desk somewhere not too far from MPs.

Same.

My wife and her friends think the “square hole” video is hilarious, but I don’t know anyone who is aware of the Amigara Fault comic.

That’s unfortunate.

I do enjoy builders and management games, so I was hoping it had improved.

I’ve got my fingers crossed that they pull a No Man’s Sky and actually strive to make a playable game, but the longer it takes, the less likely it seems.

That could mean that the already content players are still happy with their game, and the vocal haters don’t have enough to hate on that doesn’t sound petty.

I say that as someone who has not played CS2 and plays 1 heavily modded… So the fuck do I know

I’m never sure what she’s currently watching, since she flips around between various shows, and hinges them quickly.

Currently she’s watching some procedural crime drama shows, but I’m sure she will be looking into more when she finishes the current series.

I’ll have to suggest those to her when she starts up again!

While my wife watches them, I find myself asking “what was the point of adding that into the show?” too often.

It really does feel like the show is just going “And get a load of THIS sad sack, piece of shit, worthless, spineless, insecure little fuckwit who’s just THE most unpopular at school, and work, and all the cool people HATE them ALL BECAUSE [generic reason that 95% of people can relate to]”

I’m sorry show, but we don’t need to know if the murderer had dropped a scoop of ice cream at the park when they were 27.

Hey, I’ll have you know I only have one alt!

… Don’t tell Keiko, but it’s for porn.

It’s practically a British rite of passage.

Can you really say you’ve had the proper UK experience if you haven’t been stabbed? I myself was stabbed 17 times on my last outing to Brighton.

Sure, I could take this to mean that the ship’s laundry personnel mixed it up, but I like to think on big stations, it’s more like a laundromat, and they’re in a relationship.

“This is why we separate your clothes from mine, Terry. This is the third time this year!”

I see no problem with blocking users for their belief that I should be slaughtered over the sin of checks comments being born in the USA.

And I see no problem blocking instances where they gather.

THANK YOU!

I always say a fun “bad” movie is often better than a high production value meh movie.

Give me comic book ridiculous Hellboy, not some serious brooding slop.

I want the movie to understand exactly what it is, and lean into it.

Give me Spaceballs. Give me Godzilla. I have seen so many “artsy” films. sometimes I just want to watch a guy punch another guy with a teacup so hard he dies, and scare three other dudes with a can opener.

Sometimes I just want to see a couple normal looking people absolutely wreck a gang of thugs who underestimated their opponent.

And hope if they make sequels, the sequels don’t get too full of themselves.

Hey that sounds like studying linguistics to me! ^{Pun mildly intended.}

That’s gotta be a bit of a gut punch though…

I’ve only ever met a few native Germans in person, and understand just enough to get to the bathroom, so I don’t know if I just misheard, or they’re one of the few people who do say it that way.

I’ll take any native German’s word on their own language though! Lol or even anyone who’s studied.
