I like knowing i’m talking straight into the mic

The microphone was not designed to be talked straight into it like that. It was designed for someone to hold the phone like a human. The mics are designed to help pick up audio from the direction of your mouth when your phone is in the normal position, not the one you’re using. By attempting to maximize efficiency and talk into it, you’re actively making it worse for the other people you’re talking to.

Bro. You almost gave me a heart attack for a second there, making me think I somehow posted something VERY different.

Imagine taking a meme seriously

What’s wrong with that?

Because it’s insanely inconsiderate and extremely egotistical. You aren’t the only person in the world. We’re both watching the movie and we’re both equally as confused. When you ask those questions what you’re doing is interrupting the movie for someone else to demand an explanation for yourself. An explanation you will not get as, again, both of us are confused. Other people are watching the movie too. Interrupting it to try and get answers for yourself is some narcissistic behavior, especially when you’re in a movie theater with shitloads of other people around you.

Moreover, during the middle of the movie is not the place to have a discussion. People are trying to watch it and enjoy it, not listen to some breakdown about the events so far. If you want to have those discussions then keep it for after the movie when attention can be properly given to the discussion, not a half whispered response in a tone of “Dude, can you shut up?”

Literally yes. Minus stuff like laughter, or mild gasps or other reactionary noises.

I don’t mind the Kelvin movies too much. Actively enjoy them for the most part. But JJ was definitely the worst part of those movies by far and I completely agree with the meme. You can feel the love of everyone bleeding through despite him, not because of him. So many people worked on those movies who were huge fans of Trek and then he has the nerve to openly talk about how he isn’t a fan of Star Trek.

Beyond is my favorite of the Kelvin movies and, what do you know, JJ didn’t direct it. Funny that.

I’ve never actually seen it… I just know enough to get away with some passing references

An accurate update lol

Bro, I didn’t even realize it was you who posted this.

You have no idea how common this sentiment is lol I’m everywhere.

Sending hugs though buddy

I wouldn’t say most lol I only post in the meme-y area, and even then that’s specific. But it does mean something. Honored, all the time, when someone reacts with “Holy shit, Stamets!” stuff. Even more so if I’m just talking with them. There are a couple people I talk with on Discord that at first acted like I was a celebrity. I just post memes to distract from my own problems. The fact anyone cares is deeply deeply humbling. Trust me on that <3

Honestly given all the shit I’ve been dealing with the past couple of weeks, yeah. If a disembodied flaming skull appeared at this point I’d just be like “sigh alright. What now?”

Because people frequently crop the image to remove the watermark. At least that’s my assumption anyway.
