Aa!

Portal was a Star Trek story after all

Not a typical one. Wheatley proved himself immune to Kirk’s usual method of dealing with rogue computers.

You end up with echo chambers by blocking people and communities you don’t like.

Downvoted content is not only still visible, half the sorting options ignore it.

I can’t help but remind you that O’Brien was the one expecting redundant backups in Cardassian systems.

O’Brien was scrappy, but Rom was scrappier. He learned from lack of resources while integrating Ferengi systems with Cardassian systems.

O’Brien had resources to back him up. He may have caused a language epidemic, but Rom never caused a panic unless he was instructed to. And he did that without question

Can you guess why Jimmy has to live in a slum?

Because Superman is a super-dick?

He basically begged for that position after years of standing in the transporter room, waiting for the odd episode where something actually does go wrong with it.

He wanted a place where he could be creative and solve problems, rather than be overshadowed by the chief engineer getting the credit every time.

As a software engineer for a large corporation, I feel this deeply

Probably Monty Python’s Life of Brian

I was one of those Holy Grail kids, I loved the movie and memorized the lines. Wanting more, I looked up other Monty Python works

I was in 7th grade or something, raised in a very religious home. I was not expecting what Life of Brian was, and I know I wasn’t old enough to understand all of the jokes they made

Hilarious movie

I’ll say it.

In spite of everything we saw in Discovery, Michelle Yeoh was always a delight, no matter which character she played

If we got more of her, regardless of the rest, I’ll enjoy it

Well in Rain Man, he counted 246 toothpicks (“82, 82, 82.”) out of 250

Silly Kim, the Borg can select what to assimilate and what not.

Except for the times they couldn’t, such as In the cases of Hugh, Icheb, and Endgame’s Janeway vs Borg Queen.

Okay maybe the last one isn’t fair since Janeway did have the future advantage. But the other cases showed that entire cubes were lost to this sort of attack.

I for one fully support Kim’s weaponized concerto

There are very few situations where a dead man’s switch would have helped these whistleblowers.

Once they have gone public and are at risk of being “suicided” they should have already released everything they knew. Sitting on it after already going public in any way only helps if the goal is to blackmail or extort the company, rather than to expose the company or protect others.

A lot of people have latched onto the idea of a dead man’s switch (and I get it, technical solutions are fun to create), but the only part of the scenario it would help is before the whistleblower goes public, while they are still gathering information and haven’t yet been discovered by the company. Even then, it wouldn’t protect them from being killed, it would only ensure that the partial work is released in case they were discovered and prevented from finishing it.

The Tick.

I really enjoyed the comic book hero shows, and The Tick and Freakazoid were great fun to watch as parodies of the genre.

I was so happy to see The Tick get a couple of seasons as an Amazon show.

Doesn’t seem all that hard. That’s my name too.

The end

This is somehow racist.

You think all Salome Jens look alike, don’t you?

You should see the episode when a woman body swapped with Kirk, and how the Enterprise crew suspected something was wrong

You should probably just rescind rule 3 at this point

Says the guy who never tried racht. He spent a week on a Klingon ship, and now he thinks he’s an expert on their culture

You should have kept watching. It felt like the uniforms changed from one scene to the next

I avoid eye contact and hope I didn’t disrupt his day

“The Good Place” suggested that what you have done is less important than what you are currently doing to improve as a person.

You may never erase the your moral failings from the past, but as long as you are still trying to be better, that’s what matters.
