Warriors seal their own stembolts!

You talk like a Ferengi bIHnuch! The glooreeee of one meme has a value unequaled by any amount of latinum.

I had Subway Surfers as a kid and still watched Star Trek.

And just replace Bluey with Thomas and Friends or whatever.

My mom would be lass lax in making do our homework if we watched whatever Trek she was watching; I was drawing pictures of Picard by the time I was 10. This was in the 2010s.

While also caring developing its characters extremely well; I think only DS9 had better character development.

In my opinion, it’s not that worth it as a beverage; it’s best enjoyed in a root beer float. Of course, that makes it even more sugary, but it’s at least a pleasurable experience of texture.

I most frequently have A & W; it’s pretty rare we get anything else. I don’t think I’ve had a lot of Mug; I’ve certainly had some before, but it feels like I see more A & W and Barq’s around my area. I don’t think I’ve ever actually been to an A & W; all the Las Vegas locations had been closed for years (and still are) back when I lived in Vegas, and there’s only 1 in the entirety of the Phoenix area where I current live.

Honestly, for me, root beer is root beer. Also, I rarely drink it as a standalone beverage these days; I mostly just use it in root beer floats. I’d only really choose it if there was no Dr. Pepper around or I was avoiding caffeine.

The root beer thing sounds so surreal to me, but it really shouldn’t.

Your body replaces most of its cells over the course of about a decade, give or take a few years (except for brain cells, which admittedly throws a wrench in my point). What’s not to say it didn’t kill the version of you 10 years ago?

Further more, think of yourself from 1 day ago. Can that exact version of yourself still act on the world, or is that version effectively dead as the result of your mind changing over time? That exact version of you isn’t somehow carried on by soul.

In some sense, the very continuity of consciousness could be viewed as a continual process of death of the old self; all the transporter does is create a brief gap in that continuum.

In a nutshell, we’re always dying in some form as a product of the nature of time itself. Why should we get mad at the transporter?

Maybe the soul is how we transcend these deaths; maybe there’s no such thing as a soul.

Reminds me of this delusion I got the other day:

I love how the other TOTK subplots are environmental crises, and then we just randomly have drug rocks.

If only Apple Music would give Linux users some way to access lossless…

Though honestly, I’m only on Apple Music because my parents pay for it anyway (I’m a college kid), and I’ve already started accumulating a CD/digital audio file collection, which currently covers the first 6 studio albums plus albums 8 and 21 plus 1 B sides compilation, 1 single, half a live album, an album demos compilation, and 1 single.

Although the 256kpbs limitation on the browser isn’t the worst (better than a lot of video streaming services forcing 480p on unapproved devices), it still irks me.

I first heard this in an NPR article talking about how ineffective DARE was.

Don’t forget this monumental achievement in post-modern music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS88-n4Ek0s

The Borg assimilate buffer time from Scotty; that makes the entire collective several percent more efficient and turns out to be the secret to the Borg taking over the entire galaxy.

I think PRO should rank above ENT just because ENT cranks the horniness to 10 to the point of interfering with characterization and character development. True, Prodigy is kid-oriented, so it can’t be that horny, but still.

However, I can understand PRO ranking lower overall because the classic series and LD are so good and PRO, for all its virtues, does have its flaws.

I mean, I can’t even stand Jankom until season 2; Rok’s similarly a bit a annoying, but becomes a bit more bearable after the timeline. Also, the style’s a bit inconsistent; most of the main cast looks fine (Rok’s eyes could do to be a bit smaller), but real Janeway looks a bit out of Shrek, the Doctor just looks strange, and many of the background and minor characters looks really uncanny valley.

Also, although I think the plots are better than DIS, the whole “big bad”, “let’s save the entire universe twice” thing is still a bit tiring.

I think Mr. Tysess is absolutely beautiful with his gigantic chin, though, and I am astonished how much of that beautiful “random Ensign on Picard’s bridge” quality Daveed Diggs’s voice has (Thomas Jefferson is not very Starfleet). I need more Daveed Diggs in Star Trek!

I recently watched Galaxy Quest for the first time, and I thought the first half was okay, but then it suddenly got real good with the “By Grabthar’s Hammer, I shall avenge you” moment, which almost made me cry.

As for ST09, I find it a fun enough film. It’s not classic Trek, but I still think it’s a decent film; I’d probably have to do another rewatch to give my full take. In some ways, I still think Pine was a better Kirk than Shatner himself.

We’re wobbly, spinning, confused little people spinning round and round.

True. It really drives me nuts when people whine, “I DOEN’T WACH NUTREK CUZ IT SO POLITICAL”, not realizing the only reason older Trek doesn’t seem political is they watch it out of its contemporary sociopolitical context.
