  • Now compare this episode to the one in TNG where the roles are flipped and O’Brien is the one possessed by an alien. How does Keiko react? Does she show concern and try to figure out how to save her husband? No, all she does is scream at him to get away from her. Even when a bit of Miles manages to break through when he paused and looks at her going “Wait… I know her…” she doesn’t tell him to fight it, she just continues to scream in terror.

    They really went out of their way to make Keiko as unlikeable as possible.





  • Careful there friend, you’re awfully close to reinforcing a negative view towards women/people in general based entirely off of a conversation on the internet that is most likely fake anyways.

    Golly, you’d have to be a real stupid jackass to let that happen, huh? Just a completely brain dead, ignorant, son-of-a-bitch.

    Fortunately you’re smarter than that, right? Right?


  • What fans said that? Seriously, all these articles and posts seem like the most pathetic form of copium.

    “Oh boy, his supporters must really be feeling bad now right? Right?!” Wrong. His supporters are not having second thoughts. They’re not regretting their choices. They aren’t feeling betrayed. They are overjoyed, and the constant attempts to reframe that as some Leopards-eating-faces schadenfreude is the stupidest thing I’ve seen all year, and I watched the run up to the election.

    All these fucking posts are either based around like 1-2 tweets from no-name people, obviously fake accounts, or the worst; obviously made-up anecdotal stories from leftists, desperate to feel good about themselves, about how some right-winger in their life suddenly regrets all their choices. “Oh my racist uncle is a farmer and he’s really feeling betrayed by Trump now. He’s sooooo mad and-” Fuck off. No he’s not. You haven’t talked to your estranged uncle in years and have no idea what he’s feeling if he even exists.

    Miserable leftists desperately pretending that right-wingers are regretting their vote and secretly feeling as miserable as them. Grow the fuck up. They aren’t regretting things. They won, and they’re happier than pigs in shit about it.

    As humans, our eyes contain 3 different types of cones (red, blue, and green). With these we can see around 1 million different colors.

    But Mantis Shrimp have 16 different types of cones in their eyes! And with those 16 cones they can see a whopping… 16 colors.

    While our brains allow us to mix and match the different bands of light our eyes detect in order to “see” a wide variety of colors, Mantis Shrimp lack that ability. What they detect is what they get, there’s no neural post processing, or at least not any that allow the perception of mixed colors.




  • “Safety Protocols Off”

    What the fuck? Why is that an option through a vocal command?! If it’s really needed, that should require someone from engineering to make the adjustment and it better be for a damn good reason, not just “I wanna experience real danger”. With the amount of issues that come from Holodeck malfunctions, it’s insane that Star Fleet allows them at all, especially because they seem to fail quite often in their hands.

    Seriously, Quark has a better safety record than Star Fleet when it comes to those. His holodecks have only had ONE major incident (Our Man Bashir) and even then it could be argued that the holodeck saved the crew by injecting their patterns into the program when they would have otherwise been entirely lost. Compare that to the Enterprise or Voyager where they have a Holodeck disaster every other week, often self-inflicted.
