  • Ok now I want to know where people live, if they have AC, what temperature their bedrooms are and how it effects their night water habits.

    I’ve never tried keeping water by my bed at night, and chugging if I wake up in the middle of it now I’m night bottle curious 🤔

    Like, will I feel magically hydrated and limber in the morning? Just another thing that I add to my routine to make me feel great in the morning?

    I’ll update if I piss the bed.



  • Star trek Voyager: Elite force!

    It was so good for its time. I loved it so much as a kid. I especially loved the portable pattern buffer being a great in-universe solution to explain how a game character can carry many different weapons. It fits so well into the universe that I half expected to see such a thing on the shows someday. It would have been too disruptive to plot development for the characters always to have what they need with them, though.

    Thanks for the giveaway, amazing to see you in the fediverse!

    So nutrek is an umbrella term for Discovery, Lower decks, SNW and Prodigy right? It’s it common for people to hate all 4 with a passion? They’re all sooooo different. I can get hating one, because they are all basically different genres.

    I think people are afraid if they support one that they hate, then we’ll get more of the same. So have a knee jerk reaction to be toxic when their hated show is discussed. The irony being that historically star trek is a show that seeks to show an example of interpersonal harmony. These people do want an outlet to discuss their grievances about the shows but mostly see that outlet when someone mentions the show because they love it.

    If someone hates all 4, they must be pretty deep into some extreme ideology that somehow doesn’t conform with all of Star Trek.

    Maybe startrek.website needs a neutral zone that only allows constructive criticism but still provides an outlet for these feelings. 😅

    Edit- I forgot Picard existed, whoops!

    Expanse did it well too. There is a character that uses different pronouns, and people just used the right pronouns for them. Thats it. Boom representation achieved.

    Now I get that trills were used to stealthily start trying to get trans and gender queer screentime in a very hostile 90s era.

    In discovery, Adiras coming out had to once again be aided with the framing of the trill.

    Adira had to loudly declare their preferred pronouns in the deep future when all of this was supposed to be no big deal.

    It would have been so intelligent if they were just called by their pronouns and were just treated like any other character.

    I understood the writers managed to get a coming out story that a lot of people can relate to. But in the future people should just be, and not need to come out.



  • I can’t remember who said this in the show in Universe; maybe Janeway? But I think a similar question was posed, and the answer was that nobody would have anything to do if exploration was entirely automated. It’s fun and exciting and gives people’s lives meaning.

    My headcanon is that many mundane things are automated, and we don’t see them because they aren’t plot-relevant.
