Yay, my birthday falls on the last weekend. I definitely want to be there.

I bet the “piece” of the bridge is the captain’s chair. What else would it be?

Could they not have found a pun for fox?

Shouldn’t Church and State doctrine (or whatever it is called) immediately make all of this illegal?

Unrelated but that movie was disappointing. But I’m also someone who didn’t like Army of Darkness.

You wanna be Bella Swan, the teenage girl with depersonalisation disorder or Edward Cullen, the predatory 104 year old vampire?

The vampires in Twilight are described as have unique powers. Edward is a mind reader.

  1. He is attracted to a teenager whom he tries to stay away from at all times.
  2. Bella has no thoughts. Edward is never able to sense a single thought from her.
  3. Midnight Sun, the latest book, is set during the first book, which is about Edward’s period which he ran away from Forks, Washington (the setting).
  4. Are you sure you want something associated with 50 Shades of Grey? That book series is Twilight fan fiction. Even the movie adaptation of the first book goes as far as to copy fscenes from the first Twilight movie.
  5. Oh and one of the characters is a werewolf who is supernaturally destined to fall in love with Bella’s unborn child.

EDIT: I have thoughts about Twilight, none of them good.

I saw this question posed on Mastodon. If you got lost in space and rescued by aliens who made you live in a simulation for the next 40 years based on a book, what would it be?

For me: The Great Gatsby. I would have to play the part of Nick and just get drunk all the time.

If you actually believed that, then wouldn’t you give up on an illegal third term?

Don’t worry. It’s nothing serious anyways. There is a band named Hopesfall. I thought it was dumb so I came up with that.

I have never actually read The Onion, I just like seeing their headlines.

I would immediately cite anti-LGBTQIA+ sentimentality as the contributing factor. While lots of people understand that homosexuals aren’t the only people who can contract the infection, I’m sure the treatments being aimed primarily at homosexuals as the highest risk group, will make certain people unwilling to believe it is a potential risk.

It sucks that safe sex isn’t a thing being discussed. However it does feel like anti-abortion laws would be unnecessary if teens had access to sought information. I’m sure with the advent of Internet based pornography, teens are being influenced more by that with no educational tools to say that people in pornography (I am sure not everyone across the industry follows health guidelines but for the “professionals” you’d hope they do) have access to testing and other health related care.

If we are going to be cynical about this, one reason I suspect sex education is no longer being thought would be to fall inline with twisted alt-right/conservative values about women NEEDING to have children. With lack of information about contraception, teens might believe they can’t be safe. Maybe they actually have access to contraception but aren’t aware. Maybe contraception is being banned. If you have no contraception, then the rate of pregnancy will increase and maybe those anti-abortion lawmakers wish to see more unwanted pregnancies instead of anyone wishing to engage in recreational sex that doesn’t aim for procreation.

I guess none of you noticed the editorial board has a signature from Ted Kaczynski, aka Unabomber.

I’ve been rewatching Steven Universe. This reminds me of the corrupted gem monsters.

There is a Tabletop episode for Star Trek Catan which has his son Ryan and Jeri Ryan as the guest. Had to mention that.

 

I guess the only case we can examine is The Doctor. Whenever The Doctor uses a transporter, what traveling: the lights or the mobile emitter?

There have been many cases which The Doctor has become solid so other solid objects can no longer pass through them. If the object we are seeing being beamed is the mobile emitter, then is it necessary for them to be on a separate pad? I imagine the person accompanying The Doctor could just hold the emitter instead.

 

Did Captain Janeway do the morally right or morally wrong thing refusing to let Seven of Nine return to The Collective?

 

EDIT: I just want to make clear this is sarcasm.
