CeruleanRuin,

Po-tay-toes. Boil em mash em stick em in a stew.

CeruleanRuin,

He’s also very funny as a GRR Martin / Rothfuss type in Mythic Quest on Apple TV+.

CeruleanRuin,

You’re looking at it wrong. He isn’t saying those things for people who already know them. He’s a teacher. His job is to transmit the same enthusiasm he has to someone else who is just hearing a thing for the first time. I don’t get smug from him beyond the confidence of knowing what he said is interesting and true.

CeruleanRuin,

I’m glad you clarified, because I was about to look up “Irish guacamole” on Urban Dictionary and add to my own trauma.

CeruleanRuin,

What do large hairy gay men have to do with this?

CeruleanRuin,

Lol, flatulence

CeruleanRuin,

But I don’t want that shit-tier comment on lemmy either.

CeruleanRuin,

Gotta spread the love around to different communities, and parcel it out. Make ten memes and post two a day, meanwhile banking up more. If you have the talent for making memes, before long you’ll have so many stored up that you can just post them at will, either over time or downthread as a reaction to something else and let someone else repost them.

CeruleanRuin,

Not sure that’s a great baseline, really.

CeruleanRuin,

Maybe your posts just sucked.

CeruleanRuin,

I don’t browse All because of this , but I did sub to simpsonsshitposts and yeah, just that one tends to dominate, even though most of the posts are indeed what it says on the tin, ie stupid worthless crap.

CeruleanRuin,

This is useful.

CeruleanRuin,

It’s like a midden heap for memes. Everyone throws their random crap in there. Sometimes you find a gem amid the poo.

CeruleanRuin,

That’s a great point. They’re certainly at least 3-dimensional, as seen most clearly when someone is on the main viewscreen but their eyeline matches the smaller figures on the bridge, rather than looking more like a zoom window as it would if it was a simple camera-flatscreen configuration.

CeruleanRuin, (edited )

That could have been an incredible story, if the whole story was about that. But it felt like an afterthought, like they needed to create some motivation for the character that the Nexus could exploit. Apparently it was Patrick Stewart himself who suggested that plot point. On top of that you have Kirk and his horse, which seemingly has nothing to do thematically with Picard’s troubles.

The Nexus concept is good, but they didn’t push hard enough on it. Here’s this psycho-temporal rift in space that functions like a literal heaven. It’s basically the manifestation of everything the Traveler talked about: thought transcending time and space. So Picard wants to cosplay a Victorian family Christmas, and Kirk wants to be alone on a ranch? Like, what? Maybe if Kirk was there with Carol and the son he barely got a chance to know, it might have created a parallelism that Picard could relate to. There’s just way too much going on, and it doesn’t cohere very well.

CeruleanRuin,

Have you never had those cheap plastic vampire teeth?

CeruleanRuin,

The inertial dampeners are only used when someone puts their sonic shower in “wet” mode.

CeruleanRuin,

Picard would have justified his choice. Janeway didn’t even try.

That’s not an indictment of Janeway, but of the lazy writers of that episode.

CeruleanRuin,

Maybe not what you’re looking for, but fanedits are that thing to me. No body will ever see them on any streaming service or in a DVD bin at the store. They’re like treasures I can share only with other people who truly love movies as much as I do.

Also, I have the original special edition slip-case DVD of Dogma, which currently goes for as high as $19.95 on eBay!

CeruleanRuin,

“Humans couldn’t possibly change the environment that much!” [gets in manufactured vehicle and drives an hour to work on a concrete roadway without seeing a single natural tree or animal]

CeruleanRuin,

My favorite is using "crap and “pants” as adjectives.

“This show is pants.”

“It’s a bit crap, innit.”

CeruleanRuin,

Both the uniform coloring and the size of US currency has long been a challenge for the vision-impaired here. Most other civilized countries have implemented different sizes for their bills and/or tactile features like “windows” that make it easier to identify a bill by touch.
