Oh no, I liked Glass Onion…

It’s just the sound of some machine running, but the meme is usually something along the lines of:

“You can’t do X, you have to do Y!”

“X goes brrrr”

The humor is in stubbornly doing something in a dumb way.

Cool beans

This is always upsetting.

Same for rewatching iasip. I think they’re late 20s when it started.

That’s how it subtley becomes part of your vocabulary without your knowledge.

I’ve never seen this, but it’s hilarious.

I can hear the harrumph of judgement.

I was straining to think of another minor TNG character, and then I noticed - Guinan!

Oh right, I’ll put the context in the post body.

The_Picard_Maneuver, 1 year ago

Really? I still see it.

I did accidentally put it as a comment first, then removed that myself before adding it to the actual post body.

Showing the back of the hand makes it look like she’s flashing some Vulcan gang sign, haha.

That sounds like a hell of an awesome project

At the risk of overanalyzing a tweet, this is actually generally good advice. Scanning your body to release tension is a common stress-reduction coping skill taught in therapy, and in clinical settings is often referred to as “progressive muscle relaxation”, which has been shown in many studies to reduce stress in the short-term. If you google this term, you’ll have better results.

Here’s an NIH article that covers a few things, including progressive muscle relaxation:

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8272667/

It’s not intended as a permanent solution for underlying causes (e.g. doing coke or alcohol, like you said), but more of something to mildly reduce stress/anxiety in the moment.

I didn’t care for it either. It was like they wanted to explain why every alien race looked like humans in costumes, but I was perfectly fine with suspension of disbelief.

The only game that I’d considered playing that my build couldn’t run was Starfield. Seems like that worked out for the best.

Private cloud gaming, you say? That sounds like something I might need to look up.

Stories about him are like a neverending supply of rage. I just recently heard about how he intentionally sabotaged Wil Wheaton’s career to avoid having to pay him more.

I didn’t know the story behind it until recently, but the first time I watched DS9, I thought “Wait, are they really trying to get away with replacing this awesome character with a younger, cuter actor?” I assumed it was a desperate bid for ratings.

I thought they both did a great job, but we’d had 6 seasons to get attached to Jadzia!

Look at the flowing mane on that man!

All the information is in the meme.
