Your body learns real fast that looking down no longer helps with typing 👌

the government is not allowed to provide a service for free that a company can charge for

I am beyond mildly infuriated by such an idiotic stance, but it tracks with what I’ve seen.

RIP postal service you’re next.

Top 10 TNG episode for me and has one of the best “oh shit we really doin sci-fi” moments in TNG:

CRUSHER: Here’s a question you shouldn’t be able to answer. What is the nature of the universe?   COMPUTER: The universe is a spheroid region seven hundred and five metres in diameter.

It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.

Truer now than when Henry Ford said it like a hundred years go.

The SEC exists to shelter Self Regulating Organizations from any threats of democratic governance or law enforcement. Oh ya and to keep up the legalese charade that there literally is no such thing as counterfeit stock (because the Secret Service has purview over counterfeiting for some strange reason)

Fuck the stock market 🖕

Scifi writers: the setting is sleek and futuristic

Scifi set designers:

Every time

The writers: I have an idea…

The fans: What do you think this is? HAMLET? GONE WITH THE WIND? RUGGLES OF RED GAP? It’s a goddamn B picture! Big men in tights! You know the drill

Somebody show this clown TNG The Most Toys, the one where the emotionless android feels a surge of hate and blasts the space billionaire that enslaved him.

RIKER: Mister O’Brien says the weapon was in a state of discharge.

DATA: Perhaps something occurred during transport, Commander.

And then he gets away with it because Riker hates billionaires too 😎👌

The second book, Claw of the Conciliator, is the hardest slog with the most confusing ending (but is ultimately rewarding when it ‘clicks’).

However the third book, Sword of the Lictor, is the best in the series. So many of the best moments are in this book, as well as some of the most famous quotes.

For me, the masquerade ball at the Archon’s palace is the “buckle up” moment for the rest of the story.

For a real trip, restart book 1 immediately after finishing book 4: there is so much you will see know that you know what to look for.

Also matey, the audible audiobooks are amazing 😎

Delivering this feature goes against everything I know to be right and true and I will sooner lay you into this barren earth than entertain your folly for a moment longer!

Sage advice. In the meeting I will assume positive intent, like he’s protecting me from mummy’s curse.

Ya I will figure it out, it’s just another clown lording over an imaginary fief.

Can’t wait for code review lol.

Yeah really fun premise slathered in boring characters.

If I recall it devolved into some CW-flavor bullshit revolving around the girl, who is her real father, why is she special. Blah blah blah.

They can be archived without being playable

You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger darling.

Imagine an archive for unreadable books, unwatchable films, and unplayable games too!
