I once bought laundry detergent at Walmart and was surprised to find it locked up. Had to buzz an associate to open the case and then take it to a register so I could purchase it. They wouldn’t even let me carry it to a register myself.
The irritating part: directly across the street was a Sam’s Club (which is a Walmart company) and they don’t lock up detergent. Just stamps, high priced electronics, and high priced alcohol.
That poor people live here. According to Zillow, the average price for a home is $760,877. For fuck sake, Travis Barker of Blink-182 used to live here.
I don’t know about shopped but Brooklyn Nine-Nine was picked up by NBC the day after it was canceled.
Most people from what I understand can’t get Cybertrucks insured unless they go through Tesla directly.
And don’t even bother trying to put out a fire on a Cybertruck… because you can’t.
I once had a conversation with someone about a hypothetical thing and they said it was the plot of this movie.
I eventually watched it after that.
I wonder who took them seriously with those Danica Patrick spokesperson ads.
A big disclaimer at the top here that I am going to be discussing familial death.
Hello to everyone reading this. Not sure why I am greeting you, the reader. Last week my maternal grandfather passed away. He was in hospice care with bone cancer and overall poor health. The lead up to being admitted into hospice was a sudden and unexpected turn. During my grandfather’s final days, my family set up a computer at the foot of his bed so we could watch shows with him. Regardless if he was awake or not I took time by his side and watched Enterprise. As an important side note, I have always lived with my grandparents (I’m Filipino; this is a cultural thing).
In the week since my grandfather’s passing, I have been rewatching Enterprise. When the show first broadcast in 2001, I was 10-years-old. I grew up watching TNG, seeing First Contact and Insurrection in theaters and going on The Klingon Encounter attraction at Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas. For me, my grandfather was the Star Trek fan who I looked up to. I watched it because he did. So when Enterprise premiered, it was the first series I was old enough to watch in completion during its first run broadcast. I remember my grandfather being excited for “Broken Bow”. He let me stay up late on Wednesdays (and later Fridays if I recall correctly, when the timeslot changed) to watch with him.
Getting to watch Enterprise at the age of 10 to 13 (“These Are the Voyages…” aired four days before my 14th birthday) had a big impact on me. I didn’t realize till later as an adult when I finally took the time to watch all of Classic Trek and then all of New Trek (circa November 2023) how much Star Trek meant to me. You’d be hard pressed to not find me wearing a badge on a daily basis. As a Southern California resident, I drove out to Beverly Hills to attend the advanced screening of the Discovery finale in May. Then in August I finally attended my first convention: STLV.
I am writing this as my way of being reflective. Watching Enterprise with my grandfather is one of the happiest memories from my childhood. I miss my grandfather so much. Each time I watch an Enterprise episode, I feel like a kid all over. This brings me joy during a time of grief. I intimately associate Enterprise with my grandfather.
Someday in the future I want to get a tattoo of the mission patch in honor of my grandfather. 
They can also fuse with a human child/teenager.
You do realize this is Kelvin Timeline we are talking about, not Prime Universe?
So O’Brien is the Arnold here?
Yes but at least in California, details are posted by CHP (or maybe other law enforcement organizations) on Twitter. Every time I’ve clicked an Amber Alert notification, it sent me straight to Twitter.
My point is, not all the relevant information is posted in the notification you received on your device.

Yet on the face of it, many Americans support this since it is effecting Palestinians.
