  • Me, every time I'm watching VOY again

    Jump

  • I still crack up anytime they start to broach Chakotay's "Native American, but in SPAAACE" stuff and you hear that pan flute music start to play.

    Which gives me an idea for a new meme format: First panel details some New Age gibberish, second panel is Chakotay with a bracketed subtitle saying "Pan flute music intensifies"

  • It's my wife's favorite Star Trek (she loves T'Pol), largely because it was a re-watch of this that got her into Star Trek. She and I were both NASA nerds as kids (both having attended Space Camp) and ENT does a great job of bridging the space program we know with the Star Trek we know.

  • That there is Hank Sassley, lower management personnel from a strip-mall based independent accounting firm. Good guy. Calls ya "Champ" when he meets you.

  • Switched to Zen as soon as I switched to Linux about a year and a half ago. Love it.

  • To people outside the UK : Do you recognise this man?

  • Robbie Williams? (from US, best friend used to have "Millennium" on repeat for a spell) I honestly thought at first that this was a Jonas brother or maybe post-reconstructive surgery Zac Ephron, but that didn't make sense with the UK part of the question.

    Edit: I see I'm correct. But I honestly only dug into that part of my mind because I recalled both the aforementioned single and the general thing, stemming back to those days, that he was like huge in the UK but practically nowhere else. In other words, the question itself served as a clue to who he was (meaning he is apophatic--I only recognize him because I am aware of his absence)

  • I’m tired boss

  • I just want to know why Jack Napier from Batman's 1980s flashbacks has a podcast?

  • What's the most entertaining "bad" movie ever made?

  • Sad I had to scroll down this far to find this.

    "Ugh, ninjas" is a perennial line among my friends.

  • Given the argument that Data has Free Determination, Voyager is about how The Federation enslaves holograms

    Jump

  • I know it's an aside, but this post raised this question for me: So, is Data still alive 900 years into the future? Can we get a Brent Spiner cameo on Starfleet Academy and FINALLY see Data and the Doctor interact on screen? I feel like they'd have lots to talk about in regards to the struggle for the acceptance of non-biological life forms

  • Log Cabin Republicans announce they no longer support trans rights - LGBTQ Nation

    Jump

  • This is such a fun conversation. I'm a priest in the Episcopal Church and our denomination has been talking about this for many years now. One of my colleagues made a great counter to the whole "male and female" thing by noting that God also created light and dark and day and night and there's a whole range of things that exist between those two dichotomies.

    Also, there's numerous trans readings regarding Jesus within the Bible itself! For instance, Saint Paul notes that Jesus "is the Wisdom of God." Paul is drawing from the wisdom tradition, which depicts God's wisdom as a woman. Further, Saint John's gospel clearly draws from the book known as the Wisdom of Solomon (from the Apocrypha) for his preface, held by many Christians to be the most explicit biblical statement on Jesus' divinity. Later, saints like Julian of Norwich and Anselm of Canterbury would write of Jesus being our Mother. So there's a rich tradition which recognizes Jesus, a He/Him male, embodying long established and celebrated feminine aspects of God (it's for this reason that I don't usually go for swapping the gender of the Father or referring to the Holy Spirit as "She" because I feel like it winds up masking the more clear, and challenging, divine feminine things about Jesus found in the Bible itself). There's definite trans/gender-queer things going on in these texts!

  • Delta Will Use AI To Cut Costs And Set A Different Ticket Price For Every Passenger—CEO Says Profits Could Rise 50%

    Jump

  • Okay, who let a Ferengi become the CEO of Delta?

  • It's just a matter of time.

  • Will the dog be in the back?

    Yeah, the dog will be in the back.

  • Murder my mussy

  • And are there two? And if so, are we talking Osprey or Chinook when they do the helicopter?

  • Endure the admonition

  • Notice. Not a SINGLE Deep Space 9 episode on there.

  • DuckDuckGo Is Selling Anti Pervert Glasses That Contain Zero AI, Cameras, or Even Electronics Whatsoever

    Jump

  • Ray-Ban is owned by Essilor-Luxottica, a truly evil conglomerate. Worse on Purpose has an excellent piece about them that is well worth everyoneʻs time to read.

  • DuckDuckGo Is Selling Anti Pervert Glasses That Contain Zero AI, Cameras, or Even Electronics Whatsoever

    Jump

  • Iʻve been buying Knockaround glasses for years. Theyʻre not owned by Essilor-Luxottica and have pretty great quality that has improved over the years. Only reason Iʻve had to buy new glasses from them was either due to theft or loss.

    EDIT to make the conglomerateʻs name accurate and not sound like itʻs co-owned by Aragorn using his kingly name

  • Magnets. Perhaps keyed into the biometrics of certain personnel? Honestly, I just assumed that they were basically a much more technologically developed version of those cabinets at my aunt's house that you push the corners to open.

  • I think the tools you see O'Brien and others using do do that, just with directed energy.

  • If Paramount were smart, they'd do something like this. Disney+ has all kinds of "screen saver" ASMR-adjacent things. Paramount could easily whip up an hour-long slow pan of generic crew life on the Enterprise. I mean, I've put on the 10 hours of nacelle white noise you can find on YouTube.

  • I think this is how the "currency" of knowledge and experience works in Star Trek. The more senior position you have, the more away missions you get to take, which is part of the incentive to be promoted. Since there's no money, experience becomes currency (in a sense) so having the privilege of away missions and all of that is like getting a raise. We see this in the various shows (SNW in particular) where being picked for away missions is a kind of desired reward.

    Plus, it also fosters more captain openings in a society where people can just keep going well into their 100s. It's how Kirk got to become captain of the Farragut, yeah? His captain died on an away mission?
