Nope. But thanks <3

I’ll just fold it under my Locktober win.

It is what it is. Thanks though <3

I’m glad that you’re doing better now buddy.

Thanks buddy. I’m sorry that your holiday wasn’t the joyous celebration it is supposed to be. The world really is slapping everyone around the side of the face lately and it’s not fair to anyone. You have my condolences, friend.

I’m glad that I, and others, are able to help you escape the monotony though. It is nice to have a place to come and see (mostly) everyone being silly and chilling out. You definitely help a lot with that vibe. <3 So gotta give yourself props for doing that same favor to others, man!

The place you saw that was when you accused me of it last time and when you were posting transphobic dog whistle memes. There is a reason why your hexbear account was banned for this.

We all will brother. I’m sure I’ve got a ton of your stuff saved in mine. I just hope I don’t step on your toes.

I’m trying. EMH keeps fucking around with some opera bullshit. Goddamn daydream subroutines.

Luckily my sense of smell/taste is mostly intact. Dunno why but this is my third time getting covid and third time not having that symptom. I be grateful.

All good! There’s a bunch of reaction videos to that commercial up online that are pretty funny.

It doesn’t grow solely in Newfoundland so you might be able to get it elsewhere. It’s just an herb. The issue comes with getting it at specific times of year.

Sounds like none of y’all have had newfie dry dressing and it fuckin shows.

Ta-da.

Y’all use the most disgusting overly wet stuffing in the world and then get surprised when it’s shit.

I misread it as omniscient. My bad there.

The root system isn’t omnipresent though. It only exists where life exists. The root system doesn’t permeate in regions of dead space or intergalactic space. If there’s nothing for life to grow on then the network doesn’t exist there.

But it doesn’t. That’s the thing. Warp Drive might (but only when utilized in specific fashion, it doesn’t violate causality simply by existing) but the Spore Drive never has. The temporal shenanigans that happened with the Discovery wasn’t caused by the spore drive. It was caused by a time crystal/Red Angel suit.

Causality is things affecting other things. One event happens which triggers another and there is an outcome. That can continue on indefinitely, but causality is the inherent link between cause and effect. To break causality is to have an outcome that occurs before the event. At no point does the spore drive in Discovery do this. There’s no causality paradox or anything similar that happens in Discovery that is caused by that Spore Drive. The closest is when Disco travels forward in time by a couple of months in Season 1. The warp drive only breaks that as well when you start introducing time travel into it, using that warp drive to specifically cause temporal fuckery.

There’s nothing to be sorry for as the only thing of mine that you’re negating is the ‘omnipresent’ thing and that’s only because I misread it as omniscient. Even then you’re not negating it fully as Season 4 specifically shows that the mycelial network doesn’t exist outside of the galactic boundaries. It only exists where life exists.

Everything else stands.

Okay I was actually talking with my roommate a few minutes ago, while you made this comment, and we were talking about Stargate. We’re both huge Trek fans and she has seen all of Stargate. While talking to her I realized why I felt put off by SG-1 and you touched on it.

Every part of Stargate SG-1 that I’ve seen feels like it’s Team America: Space Police. As a Canadian, I really fuckin hate that. So if you’re saying that’s less common then I might give it a chance. I really really despise the concept of a bunch of militarized people rocking up somewhere and suddenly and aggressively imposing their will upon the local population. Which, as I found out when talking to roommate, is sort of the concept of the first Stargate movie? Going in to kill Egyptian-esque gods that have enslaved the locals of another location?

Oh I’m aware of Teal’c. The show was constantly on TV and my parents liked it but I never watched it. So I’m familiar with the premise and most general characters but I never got into it personally. Teal’c I ended up becoming even more familiar with when I was doing research thanks to God of War. God can that man act…

Hilariously I wasn’t actually being gay in this moment, although you are totally right to immediately go with that line of thinking for ‘in my tastes’ lol. This might sound hypocritical considering my love for Discovery, but Stargate SG-1 seems to be more action focused than Atlantis. I could be completely wrong but that’s just my impression from seeing it casually on TV every now and again. DSC has a bunch of action but it’s also pretty heavily peppered with a lot of really great dialogue and character development so the action feels ‘earned’ to me. Not just throwing it around just for the sake of it. I could be wrong but SG-1 (and again this is totally from the outside looking in with no real information/watching history) feels like it just has a lot of action. I mean that’s probably due to the fact that they’re going through gates to random worlds.

Atlantis seemed more researchy and talky, like TNG or VOY, which I gravitated a little bit more towards. But again I only ever saw sporadic episodes and have no idea what the hell was going on beyond the fact that they found old shit underwater and there was a cute dude in glasses.

Yup. Took Stamets a year (or more) to cultivate his sample. Took even longer to grow all the spores on board.

You’re in good company. I was staring at it for a good 5-10 seconds before it clicked and I uploaded it.

You say that like Gale actively planned to try and kill Mystra. He was trying to give her back a piece of something that he thought was part of her. Meanwhile she was such a fool she couldn’t see that this mortal was pining to do something for her. Instead of saying it was dangerous she just kept saying “Nah babe, I don’t need anything, I’m good.”

So I’m not sure saying “Here. Kill yourself.” REMOTELY fits the ‘crime’ of making a mistake in trying to display admiration for your aloof idiot girlfriend who is supposedly a God but too blind to see what is right in front of her.

Please ask consent first.

That being said, yes. Do it.

I just don’t own anything that has a radio built into it anymore. My phone does but needs wired headphones and while I have them I don’t use them anymore. That and I’m not going on the internet to suffer through a trillion shitty ads about some local car dealership.
