Miles O'Brien

I will happily wax everything below my ears, dress up in a skirt, and put on some makeup in order to have breakfast with Leonard Nimoy.

Knowing big bang theory, half the episode would be shitty “trans people exist isn’t that funny” “jokes” and with the laugh track, there’s 3/4 of your time slot.

And then it would be Zachary Quinto.

Calling out reposts obsessively is weird to me.There’s more people who have not seen something than who have seen it, at least on the internet. I think most people have seen the moon…

But if I ever have a problem where the vast majority of the posts I see are reposts, I’ll simply block the channel for awhile. It costs me nothing, and takes less effort than typing out a comment complaining in every repost.

It’s the “STOP LIKING WHAT I DON’T LIKE” meme, come to life. And I’d rather let people have their fun. Doesn’t cost me, nor anyone else, a thing.

I love when people say they feel dumb because they didn’t know something, because then I get to share xkcd with them, too.

As I keep telling people, they keep saying “DEI” because even most Bible belt folks get uncomfortable when you drop the hard R they really want to say.

Ah yes, that pursuit and sharing of knowledge known as “paying a shitload of money for the privilege of making a company that ultimately provides nothing of value some extra cash”

I didn’t know ml is cool with ultracapitalism as long as it’s under the veneer of knawlege.

As someone who paid enough attention in highschool chemistry to get a B, and occasionally watches Nile(red/blue) and E&I videos… I know some of these words/symbols!

My wife isn’t quite nerdy enough to get this yet, and my parents haven’t watched TNG in so long they don’t remember the phrase.

I have nobody who gets this in my life…

It’s a piece of media that’s critical of a fascist regime, and the person who says it’s fake is a .ml

if they ever answer, it’ll be dismissive about how all western media is biased against china/nk/Russia. That’s as close to an explanation of “why it’s fake” as you’ll get.

You should always be critical of any media that doesn’t have a concrete source though. I don’t personally know anything about radiofreeasia, so fuck if I know how reliable they are to begin with.

Every single company pouring money into the incinerator is positive they’ll be the one to crack actually useful AI or even actual GAI.

I didn’t know shit could clump that high without supports…

You know, I was about to jump on this deal but then I noticed the shipping costs

Bruh I’m not paying for shipping, no deal.

Always assume that at least 10% of polls are bullshit, from people not understanding the question, the poll, the answers, or people just screwing around, or intentionally choosing funny/ridiculous answers.

Poll question: do you believe in a deity

Poll answers: 1 yes there is a god 2 there are many gods 3 I believe in zorg the destroyer who will bring about universal chaos 4 no

Some people who would answer literally anything else are going to choose 3 simply for the lulz.

Waaaaaay ahead of you.

I’ve been screaming for them to stop for years.

un-miles-obrien, basically a cheeky way of saying unjerk my role play… Yeah not very clever mind you, but I work on transporters not words.

The higher the amount of energy you require from the dilithium, the quicker it fractures. In newer starships they recrystallize whioe still in use, but in older federation ships like when Those Old Scientists were roaming the stars, it was a real danger that you’d break the only dilithium crystals on the ship and be more or less stranded if you pushed them too hard.

Of course you still have to deal with warp core stress and heat dispersion on newer ships.

So when a sovereign class goes to warp 6, that’s more or less cruising speed. When she goes to warp 9.975, she needs to haul ass to get somewhere right the fuck now

Especially with subspace damage at higher warps with less streamlined ships/warp bubbles, starfleet limited travel in general to warp 6 and some areas the speed limit is warp 3.

/uMO So in other words… Whatever the plot currently demands, that’s what they go with. It’s just a show of “we need to be there quickly” or “we have some time to kill” more or less.

Should hold the same penalties as a poor person’s fraud.

Both can be true.

I never watched alien growing up, and only half-watched it with a girlfriend (sorry, good movies are great but… Boobs vs stereotypical teenager watching a movie…)

By the time I watched the movie fully, it just held no scare factor for me.

And so many dumb choices were made in Prometheus, it’s hard to take the people seriously when everyone is acting like children who have never been in space or a dangerous situation before.

The cycle:

Step 1: (as a child) “wow this movie was great, I love Greek stuff!”

Step 2: learns a ton about Greek mythology over the next many years due to interest sparked by the movie

Step 3: (likely as a teenager or older, re-watching it one day) “holy shit this movie is absolutely nothing like Greek mythology, why did I ever think it was good…”
