Don't you dare use a VCR to timeshift programming or fast-forward those commercials either, you bastard. You absolute monster.

In the early 90s I used to record Star Trek TNG live when it aired. I was a wizard at timing the arrival and ending of commercial blocks. My pause/unpause skills were HOT. Most of those tapes are still in a box in my parents house…

I used to work with someone who liked fuckin' voyager so much they named their first child after seven of nine's human name.

They had never seen DS9.

I was just thinking the other day that Annika is a very pretty name, followed immediately by how much Voyager sucked.

Relax they stopped donating money to hate groups [directly from the company coffers, it now just comes from the family that owns the company]

I know a lot of gay people who were just kinda fine with that and considered it solving the problem, because they really wanted to rationalize being able to eat that fuckin' chicken again lmao

as A Gay, I didn’t give a poo poo when it first came to light any more than I do now. A corporation is evil? Oh, word? gimme that fuckin’ chicken. no ethical consumption under capitalism binch.

I will try this first thing tomorrow and if it works you will be etched in my memory as a hero. loving Teams has recently started not delivering messages if you’re away. So you can’t just look over and see if the icon is blinking anymore. now you have to become available and then BAM a bunch of messages appear. gently caress Microsoft for catering to these awful control freak assholes.

It’s funny how work has been going since The Great Resignation stopped being reported on. It didn’t stop happening, it just stopped getting coverage. My company still can’t hire anyone to do anything and everyone still there is skating by on bare minimum effort. I’ve been trying to slot more and more into that mode, but I’ve got a “Protestant work ethic” thing that is very hard for me to kill. I do take 90 minute lunches most day though.

THIS is the poo poo that’s going to unmake our society. When a critical mass of current and potential healthcare workers just finally give up and say, “gently caress this I’m out” never to be replaced we’re so, so hosed. more intense and sooner than expected. lol. lmao.

Was listening to the latest Planetary Radio podcasts from the Planetary Society over the weekend and it was a super depressing one-two punch all about how public-private partnerships are necessary now for everything followed by a deep dive description of how Congress formulates NASA’s budget every year and how they’re not even going to keep up with inflation anymore. Of all the awful poo poo discussed, when I heard them say (swear to god), “Space Suits as a Service,” I cracked a ping I didn’t know I still had.

There’s something so depressing about how we handle space stuff now. it used to be like the one thing we could all point to and say, “look - we can do this cool poo poo, and it’s not about money.” Maybe that’s naive, but it still makes me sad.

Nixon pulling out of Vietnam was going to endanger the drug pipeline that the CIA ran from the Golden Triangle back to the States - they didn't need to kill him, but they did depose him.

The CIA infiltrated CREEP with James McCord, who deliberately bungled the Watergate break-in so that its perpetrators would be caught, Mark Felt leaked the cover-up to Woodward and Bernstein, and then CIA Director Vernon Walters leaked the entire plot to Congress so that they knew exactly what to look for as far as incriminating evidence of a cover-up.

Notice how there's a distinct shift to Latin America in the 1980s after Saigon falls.

We really are Just That Evil, aren’t we? It’s taken me 20 years to deprogram from blind obedient incremental change voter, but poo poo like this is still crack ping. I remember when I was in my late teens I was getting into George Carlin in a big way and I was really on board with most of his stuff, but his extreme hatred and cynicism about the government I just couldn’t take seriously. I should have listened then.

I mean I still tip well even if service is bad. maybe the kitchen is backed up, or the server is having a really bad day. having worked in a service profession I get it

tipping is bullshit, but until it goes away you should feel obligated to tip. don’t like it? don’t eat out

This is the way. Also, always tip in cash so the business can’t gently caress them over. Indeed, so that the wait staff can claim no tip and actually keep it all. Restaurants are the shadiest of businesses when it comes to employee exploitation.

e: well ok, no more replying without reading the thread. I will take this opportunity to say, “lol, social security for slave labor.” That’s a hoot. Nobody born after 1980 is getting social security.

I actually have kind of a soft spot for our local ambulance chaser. He’s spent years putting up billboards with his Mr Clean visage mixed with The Rock eyebrow that say, “Misny makes them pay!”

These days you just see that quixotic expression on a white background with no text. If you know, you know. And he puts them up everywhere
