Daylight savings is a silly invention
  • IIRC there are only 2 states that don't abide by Daylight Saving Time: Arizona & Hawaii

  • Companies Like Amazon and JPMorgan Spy on Their Staff
  • I was at a professional development conference offered by my union yesterday. 3/4 of the presenters I went to were using their management-owned accounts (and in one case, a management-owned device!). Now, none of the topics were about unionism--it was all how to be better at our jobs, but I couldn't wrap my head around it... and they put up QR codes for us to access on our phones, and guess what? The links wouldn't work for me because I refuse to put any work shit on my personal phone, so I wasn't logged into my work account, and therefore didn't have permission to view the document. I just could not believe that people were surprised...

  • Generated Image #1 Rule
  • Coca-Cola has entered the chat

  • Just a tiny bit spicy
  • I went to an Indian place once and asked the waiter to make my food spicy. It was kinda medium-spicy, and when the waiter asked if it was spicy enough, I--stupid white boy I am--said no. He took the dish back to the kitchen. He returned a little later with the chef. They both watched me take a bite and regret my decision. Through the tears, I told them the Spice was just right. They laughed.

  • #1 or #2?
  • Ah yes, the Stewie Griffin solution

  • DS9 was the most sexually explicit star trek of them all.
  • Censors in the 90s were obviously MUCH more concerned about portraying the love between two consenting adults who had been married in a previous life than they were about a sentient puddle of goo that can make himself look like he's dressed.

  • 💀 rule
  • Not for me, but I fully embrace your right to embrace and catch it.

  • What's smth you feel most guilty about doing in a relationship? Current or past relationship.
  • Staying with her even though she was abusive. Having kids with her. Then finally getting up the courage to get myself out but not being able to take the kids with me.

  • A reminder that the Beastie Boys are cannon in the trek universe.
  • Honestly, I thought that's where the joke was going.

  • What's a great but uncommon comedy movie we should watch?
  • Clue. One of Tim Curry's finest performances. Madeline Kahn's, too.

  • Joke's on you. I'm in dark mode all the time.

  • Everyone in this thread is talking about Beverly or Jean-Luc, but I'm all about the less-imposing Worf.

  • What's something that you were surprised to find out a lot of people hate?
  • It has a 49% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, so about half of people seem to agree with you.

    As a stand-alone film, it is probably fine. As an entry in the Ghostbusters franchise, I did not enjoy the film.

  • Discerning taste
  • There's a subreddit called "Watch it for the plot," but the plot refers to the woman's .... huge tracts of land.

  • ::slurping noises::
  • I don't really know what you're referring to or if you're being serious, but if you are being serious, then I'll just say it relates to Lower Decks episode 4x02.

  • I'm pretty sure that T'Ana would be all over this. But I don't think she'd make it a rap battle...

  • Disney did it right with the freaking porgs when Episode VIII dropped. Those things were everywhere

  • MAS*H in space?

    I know a strictly military-focused show goes against Roddenberry's vision, but what are the chances that we could see some sort of war-focused Trek in the future? The scenes in "Under the Cloak of War" (SNW 2x08... yes I'm a few weeks behind) fascinated me. What would a MAS*H-style show look like in Trek? Could the show tell the story of the war exclusively from the medical perspective? Until now, we've only gotten glimpses of war shown through the eyes of our main characters (O'Brien, Nog, Chakotay, Burnham, M'Benga, Chapel, etc) and we've gotten fleet-level looks of battles, but very little on-the-ground coverage of war.

    I'd prefer the setting to be some war set some time after PIC--something we as an audience know nothing about. What are your thoughts, Lemmy?
