Last one I went to was Queen + Adam Lambert in August '19. It was a great show, but sorta awkward cause I went with my ex. I was supposed to see King Crimson last June, but who knows if/when that'll ever happen. :sigh:

Nope! That's next.

Or maybe the TNG movies are next.

I've heard Nemesis is what you watch when you're done watching Trek forever

Nemesis is what you watch if you want to be done with Trek forever.

First Contact and Generations are both decent, Insurrection is terrible, Nemesis is ... well you know how sometimes recovering addicts talk about a trip so bad they realize they have to get sober or die?

I just rewatched TMP and it’s great. The only outright bad treks are Final Frontier, Nemesis, and Into Darkness.

I thought Generations was just OK, and I also enjoyed parts of First Contact. All of the TNG movies suffer from the writers giving the characters zero character growth, and half of the ensemble are there just to be there, though. A lot of them also write the characters really poorly.

I'd suggest you watch DS9 first, at least the first couple of seasons, which overlap with the last couple of seasons of TNG. Not that that's 100% required but I think going chronologically is a decent idea, especially since the Enterprise shows up a couple times, and of course Worf and O'Brien are regular characters on DS9.

Raku posted:

The minimum wage increase is bullshit anyway if it's not tied to inflation

Pass it correctly so that it automatically increases and no republican can attack it without actually arguing for lower wages than people are set to have

Social Security is chained to CPI so that the annual COLA is a non-political decision. There's griping about the accuracy of the actual yardstick used, but it's not up for debate every year.

SSI benefit rates go up by the same amount as Social Security. The resource and income limits one must meet for SSI entitlement are not chained to CPI, and require an act of Congress to change.


Those limits have not been raised since 1989.

It was Parler, not Gab, that asked people to send them photos of their driver's license in order to get their equivalent of a blue checkmark, right?

I mean, this is funny, but beyond people who used the same password on Gab as for everything else is anything being exposed that wasn't on these people's facebook?

Does his brother not have car insurance? There's several other posters who've actually worked in insurance, but I thought incidental drivers are generally covered by the owners insurance.
