Yeah I was considering Tildes and then I saw all the insane moderation. Left that shithole as fast as possible.

That… makes sense. Again. My brain is on fire. Forgive me lol

Same here. Just been circling around to punch everyone in the throat lately. Yaaaaaay.

I want off this crazy ride.

I’m okay for the most part, just wiped. I’m going to be so angry if being stabbed doesn’t kill me but this shit does after the boosters and everything else. I’m going to haunt every anti-vax, anti-mask motherfucker from now until the end of time.

No. What a fucking insane leap to make.

Proteins that could not be adequately replicated by a computer while also being accepted by the network. Again. Literally in the first few episodes.

A computer simply couldn’t properly interface with the network.

Not the first person to say that lol

For the record it wasn’t going to stop me from giving it a go, just that’s why I never tried it. Didn’t realize that’s why but it was hard to articulate. If there’s some self realization in there then I’m all for it.

It’s on the list either way. When will I get to it? No clue. Probably within the next couple months. Stargate is the one with the silver fox looking dude, right?

Somewhat. I’ve never completed a full watch through of DS9 but I’ve seen the other two countless times.

I guess but I genuinely don’t get why people are bothered by others not using it. The tech was made insanely classified and the only two people who ever conceived of the idea are dead. Mentioning of the spore drive was made essentially punishable by death and it was left forgotten to history. Stamets and Straal were never working on it as a propulsion method. They were working on it as an idea in general. Starfleet was the ones that co-opted their really niche research and then classified it to the highest level because they were desperate. The Klingons and the Romulans weren’t ever at that state of desperation like the Federation was and if there’s one thing that we’ve seen throughout Trek is that humans excell at pulling things out of their ass when times are beyond perilous. That’s our gimmick. Not to mention that the Romulans and Klingons have cloaking tech. We don’t. Not like we didn’t try. Why can’t we have tech that they don’t have?

I realize it would create continuity problems, especially with Pike, but it wouldn’t kill me if they decided by the end of the show that it took place in an alternate universe like the Kelvin movies did.

Note for below that I’m not projecting any of this onto you. After writing it it does feel kinda angry. The tone should be read with casual conversation, no hostility pointed towards you or your idea. Just my personal opinion on it. Sorry if it comes off abrasive because that is not the way I mean it.

I get where you’re coming from but I can’t think of a bigger insult than if CBS/Paramount were to do this. One of the loudest things from people who hate the show are those screaming that Discovery isn’t in the Prime Timeline. Started with Season 1 with people arguing that ‘CBS doesn’t own the rights to the prime timeline’ which was the dumbest fucking concept ever devised but ran like wildfire. That whole “It isn’t prime” thing still sticks. You see it from people who hate the show even here on Lemmy who refuse to believe that it’s canon and act like it isn’t. If they suddenly ended the show with something that says it isn’t the prime timeline then ignoring the issues it makes for SNW/Lower Decks, they would literally be giving the rage baiting assholes everything they’ve ever wanted. They would bend over and say “Fine. You were right. It isn’t canon.” It would invalidate everything that came before it and make all the fans of the show like myself who’ve defended it feel like utter fools. Honestly if they ever did it? I would abandon Star Trek in its entirety. Would sell off my models, get rid of the flag, and eradicate Trek from my life. It would feel like a slap in the face to the fans to say “Hey, the trolls were right.”

I’ve actually never watched The Wire…

Will support though.

That is incorrect. The entire episode was made fully canonical with a Season 2 Discovery episode. The episode opens with a flashback including various scenes from that episode. The entire episode revolves heavily around the events of that episode as well.

Beep boop.

Nah. Not a bot. Just a sad boy with too much time in his hands <3

I really wish I had the game for PS4. Music was a banger too.

Stamets,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

Nah, it makes a difference. Thanks <3

What about leaving it open?

How could you forget to do that (unless you have a medical issue which genuinely makes you forget to stay hydrated/not feel thirst or something like that)?

One such disorder would be ADHD. ADHD has a lot more symptoms than people think. Sure, you’ve got the rambling speech/jumping topics/high speed talking but there is far more than that. One thing is that when we actually get into a ‘zone’, it’s way deeper than a neurotypical gets. It’s a pure fixation that’s known as a ‘hyperfixation’. When in this state the brain will start to dump important tasks to go after what you’re on. The most common task that gets dumped is basic bodily care. You won’t drink water, you’ll neglect eating, and you’ll often try to avoid using the bathroom by holding it until the last possible moment. You just don’t want to stop doing what you’re doing.

However even when not fixating the brain will still often dump that task. If you’re in a particularly ‘manic’ state, or more of an active state, you’ll just forget to drink water or to eat. It’s just not classified as something important to do. Example? I’m typing this out to you while only now realizing that the last time I drank any water was when I posted this comic strip 12 hours ago. Am I thirsty? Yes. My mouth is actually a little dry and it’s kind of uncomfortable. But I genuinely was forgetting that I needed to drink water.

ADHD is horrible.

I’ve really gotta watch that movie

Stamets,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

It was. Thanks for pointing that out. I must not have copied correctly. Thanks for the heads up!

Stamets,

Feels like sacrilege but i’ll let it slide this once <3

Also got the damned pop up a few hours ago myself. Luckily all that it seems to do is cause the pop up. Once I clicked close it would start playing.

YouTube really is trying to generate competition fast as possible with all the nonsense over the past couple years. Sure. Ads a big revenue. But forcing people to watch them will not work. People will leave and go elsewhere or at least break it and use ads anyway.

Oh god I forgot about that… That was fucking terrifying to open my inbox to.

Should be illegal to be that funny.

I’ve got a massive water bottle that I go through like twice a day. Have always loved water. Remember constantly being tested for diabetes because they thought I was just thirsty all the time. Nope. Just love water.

Liquid life baby.
