All the cool kids hang out at Ten Forward


  • For those on the fence about Borg Backup because it's a command line app, FYI there's a great frontend GUI for it called Vorta (yeah, in line with the Trek theme lol) that works really well. I don't see it mentioned often, thought I'd pass that along. Might want to avoid the Flatpak version if you need to back up stuff outside your /home dir.

  • Everyone's overlooking the fact that she legitimized gender-affirming healthcare as medically necessary on live tv. And refused to walk it back. She's not really what I'd consider a true ally, but she did us a real solid there.

  • Bless this man, he does appear to be the real deal. Someone please buy him a drink

  • It's trippy looking at these old photos, isn't it? I mean wtf argh lmao, Leonard Nimoy in an "Indian" costume. Wow.

    Side note. It took 70 years, but now instead of shit like this we have movies like Prey being made (omfg tell me you've seen it? I thought it was amazing). So we've come a long way.

  • These photos are wild, I don't think I've seen these before.

    Yeah, today is recognized as "Columbus Day" federally in the U.S., but it's increasingly been referred to as "Indigenous Peoples' Day" for the past few years at the state, city, town levels.

    Possibly linux is right, Columbus Day is a product of racist national pride. It's not as popular as it used to be, thankfully, and it's not something most Americans are particularly proud of. It's definitely going to be officially renamed one day, but it's going to take time (and likely face opposition from racists). Seriously, fuck Columbus, he was a butcher.

  • Colour Out of Space does have scenes of body horror, btw. Great movie, but yeah, disturbing body horror.

  • Bahahahaha this is amazing

  • Yep, she has a skin condition. I didn't know this, so I looked it up. I guess it's not super common knowledge, but she has discussed it before.

    One of the fans asked Terry Farrell about her skin disorder, which prevented her from doing much shooting outside, such as the episode Rocks and Shoals where Dax stays inside a cave for most of the episode. Farrell told how she was teased when people saw her about walking about with a parasol.

  • Haha, is that from YouTube? I tried screenshotting the one from the official Trek YouTube account, but it looked like it was just upscaled and smoothed and was kinda meh. Thanks for trying though!

  • LMAO

  • First thing that came to mind: "Space vape!!"

  • Original file if anyone wants it. Sorry for the low res, I couldn't find a better version online and didn't feel like digging up the episode to make my own screen capture.

    When you're out of drugs and the universe sends hugs

  • And this one. This one speaks to me too.

    Obligatory "Janeway is my spirit animal" remark lol

  • As someone who has never been a "morning person", this gif really speaks to me.

  • It is like that! Hah it has been well over a decade for me, but I do remember it gets worse. There's thi.... ugh, balls nasty tree bark flavor that gets more intense and leaves an throaty aftertaste that even Jameson couldn't flush away. Some people claim to like the taste of Malort, but I think they're just dead inside.

  • If you're ever in Chicago, order a shot of Malort. It goes down exactly like that.

  • Ahahahahaha what have you done? All these gifs are amazing

  • Agreed 100%! A good stout must be eaten!

  • My gripe was that IPAs had no subtlety in flavor, it was all hops. To each their own, there's so many different types of booze these days. There's just so much different stuff out there now. Citrus sounds neat, would probably be real nice in the summer.

  • Ahahahaha, it's the old snob in me coming through, even though I don't drink anymore. Yeah, I was quite...opinionated about things like stout mouthfeel (it has to be chewy or what's the point) and IPAs being absolute ass.
