Me, upon seeing the response: Hahahaha! Man that was fast. Dude always has the perfect reply ready.
5 minutes later: tries to squint through Klingon makeup 🤔
One trip to IMDB and Memory Alpha later: …holy shit.
The next day: I should post a reply.
Now: We’re in now now.

I AM WARNING YOU MISTER!

Goals require long term work, commitment, and developing new habits.
This is why I’m doomed.
Well that sucks. I am guilty of really only following Risa, mostly due to big gaps in my watch history and wanting to avoid spoilers for the newer shows. I’m not surprised though… Reddit had (and still has) tremendous amounts of inertia.
And now that you know, feel free to join us in the rabbit hole!
Successfully pulling off a lift-and-move like that was huge. I wish more niche/fandoms had followed suit instead of staying put.
You know what worked for me? Getting passably good at singing the Bowie parts. It’s like the parts that want to get stuck are in opposition with the Bowie parts and there’s some mental tussling then suddenly the song is over and you’re free.
It also works well at confusing the shit out of people at parties who all want to sing along yet seemingly never got the memo that the song is a duet.
Oh, no mockery intended on my part. I was just trying to make sure all of the elements got equal representation.
Me: watches TNG episode
Risa: memes that exact episode

You jest, but she gives a wicked purple nurple.
Mine is similar, a constant high pitched airy whine that never stops. Every once in a while I get the classic “ringing in the ears” that’s more of a pure tone that fades after a few seconds. Every doctor has been all, "your hearing is fine bro ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "
If they were president, they’d be Swimmy Carter.
Thank you for this. I found the lack of Post in the post disturbing.
This. I am in a solidly blue district. 4 out of the 7 school board candidates, ALL of the non-incumbents, were running on some sort of “family values” or “parents’ rights” platform. But their statements to media were highly scrubbed because they know to tread carefully and avoid the dog whistles. One of them unseated an incumbent (and the only POC in the group) yesterday. I’m glad the trend is going in the right direction nationally. But I wouldn’t call for a victory lap just yet.
If I’m tied to a train track any potential fart risks coming with a little extra mustard on it.
It will be painful and slow, but I appreciate the support lol. I’ve got a lot of catching up to do myself, as stuff got in the way of consistently watching DS9 and even getting into Voyager (being a teenager), Enterprise (being an adult on night shift), and any of the streaming stuff (being an adult both burnt out on streaming subscriptions and way behind in the lore). It makes sense to go through things together with her, but… yeah only watching like 3 episodes a week is excruciating lol. Especially since I am a natural born binge-watcher.
…I have no idea if I’m looking at an actual show clip or a very well made fan thing. All I know is that I need to watch Lower Decks. But it’s also something that my SO would appreciate, and it’s hard enough to make time to get through TNG (her first Trek). Gah!
Get hired, show up, join union, walk out.
