Why is he even focusing on the Old Testament? The New Testament is like 500 years older than the Koran and there are thousands of people who use that as a literal interpretation of how to live their life. (it's cause he's a disingenuous shitheel) (also lol at expecting him to know the first loving thing about the Koran other than "bad because jihad") Julio Cruz fucked around with this message at 15:03 on Apr 14, 2019 |

Re : Local Election Chat I received a letter from the local Tories. Inside the envelope was another letter (exactly the same) but addressed to my wife. There's an amazing paragraph about Corbyn that includes the line "Did you know that he has advocated taking people's homes off them, in line with the Marxist doctrine that all property ownership is theft from society." I think Kevin Drew, Constituency Agent for Hemel Hempstead Conservative Association is sounding a bit desperate with that reach. Mine went straight in the recycling, the other copy was donated to one of our cats who likes shredding. She's had a drat good go at it. One of the Lib Dem candidates knocked yesterday. She looked quite shamefaced when I told her I was a Labour Party member. How pathetic is that? In my ward a potential UKIP candidate was spotted a week or so ago doorknocking to get nominations although I don't know if they had any success and I've not seen any literature from them. I will be leafleting the local area this coming week, and probably doing some canvassing too. These local elections are the first time I've been really involved even though I've been a party member for quite a while and it's actually quite exciting despite having only 2 of the 51 Councillors currently. I hope we might be able to double our score at least this time around.

My best guess is that the landlord expected the tenant to remain in the house paying rent right up until the buyers move in.

Seemingly for them to be so grateful for the landlord graciously providing them a house out of the goodness of their heart, that they would help the landlord to sell it from under them. https://twitter.com/gross_its_me/status/1117155992196780032 I was so focused on minimising the impact on you that I wanted you to help sell your home entirely for my benefit.

OwlFancier posted:TNG is sort of the classic trek, lots of good episodes and absolutely iconic, but not necessarily the best overall. https://twitter.com/softsynthbear/status/1116843758945878017?s=20 F'real though I think I've liked all of the trek's I've seen. Never been able to get into TOS because it's too cheesy. TNG has some bad episodes but also some of the absolute best ("The inner light" is one of the best I couldn't get into DS9 all that much but I think maybe if I'd actually watched the series from the start I'd get into it more. I'm quite enjoying Disco so far but I'm a few episodes behind atm. I think the 2nd series (up to where I've seen, ep5 or 6) has been better now it's had less of the Klingon stuff and is getting a bit more into classic trek territory. Pablo Bluth posted:Farscape. Oh yeah man Farscape started out pretty dumb but actually got really, really good, and the ending.... drat. Failed Imagineer posted:TNG is the obvious place to start. I'm currently making my girlfriend watch through for the first time (only took 9 years but she's loving it) but I highly recommend skipping many episodes - I use both letswatchstartrek.com and a Reddit guide, plus my own episode opinions, to decide which ones to skip. Mostly Llwaxana episodes, anti-Irish racist episodes, Wesley episodes, and the one where Beverly's grandmother bequeaths her a candle containing an ancient sex ghost. Oh hey can you gimme a link to the reddit guide etc.?

If we're still doing sci-fi chat, I forgot to mention that of all the great characters in the expanse, Jared Harris steals literally every loving scene he's in and should be in more stuff.  Edit: also yeah, when I recommended Discovery I forgot to say the first season is poo poo lol, just completely excised it from my memory at this point.

Yeah, I'm enjoying disco for what it is but it doesn't really feel like star trek though I think the second series is getting better and (unsurprisingly) the episode directed by Frakes was excellent. I feel like on the whole they've put too much emphasis on the grand plot arc and not enough on the characters (beyond Michael). Some of my favourite bits of TNG for example were the daft scenes where they played poker or chatted in ten forward or had some dumbass farce adventure involving looking for a lost cat or whatever - the little soapy sections that really fleshed out the personalities. I'm nearly two series into disco and I still don't know a thing about 99% of the crew, even the ones the writers desperately want me to care about (tilly, that cyborg woman etc).

It doesn't feel like old trek but I think that's ok. Old trek died. It died after multiple bad series like Voyager and Enterprise and even worse films. Old trek died hard. People seem to forget that bit. It ran itself into the ground. It wasn't failed. It just died.

The degree of rage I felt when they didn't just loving beam Airiam out of space and into the brig can't be expressed, such bullshit. But it was good to see them doing that old-school thing of giving a minor character an episode so we'd 'care' when they kill her. BSG owns until the last couple of episodes. SG-1 owns real hard. Farscape owns. Lexx makes Farscape look normal and sane, and is good and cool, if my memories of late-night viewing as a drunk teenager serve. DS9 is probably the best Trek because Dax is insanely hot and Odo owns and Sisko chews the scenary. The Expanse owns an extreme amount. Amos  Chrisjen Alex Bobbie Drummer Babylon 5 is the best and greatest though. Now and forever. Crusade got done dirty. New Voltron on Netflix kind of rules too. Sorry babes, but I'm too mentally fragile to engage with the government's current and previous atrocities so it's just sci-fi opinions from me today. My opinion: sci-fi is the best genre.
