I want to see an animated series of the future federation historians that have to read the copious amount of unhinged reports from 24th c. starfleet captains.

MalikMuaddibSoong@startrek.websiteto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that Toys R Us wasn't killed by competition, but by private equity companiesEnglish10·2 days agoIt is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.
Truer now than when Henry Ford said it like a hundred years go.
The SEC exists to shelter Self Regulating Organizations from any threats of democratic governance or law enforcement. Oh ya and to keep up the legalese charade that there literally is no such thing as counterfeit stock (because the Secret Service has purview over counterfeiting for some strange reason)
Fuck the stock market 🖕
Watching the two on the left go from hardnosed atheist commandos to saying “Praise Sol” with conviction, what a wild fucking trip of a show.

resting bitch font, I’m dyin 🤣
Every time
MalikMuaddibSoong@startrek.websiteto Risa@startrek.website•But also, the correct answer is Devil's DueEnglish3·13 days agoYeah great suggestion, Wrath of Khan is an excellent entry point.
The enterprise being an underdog the entire time is a great showcase for the best of trek: the crew and the problem solving 👌
MalikMuaddibSoong@startrek.websiteto Risa@startrek.website•But also, the correct answer is Devil's DueEnglish7·14 days agoWow, Devils Due is like the second episode I watched (first was Silicon Avatar) and I remember enjoying the ending where Picard mimics all her tricks before telling her to fuck off.
In hindsight easily a notgreat episode, but I remember it fondly.

Form of truncated whitespace! Shape of single whitespace! 😂

Honest answer: I’m sloppy on mobile
Better answer:

MalikMuaddibSoong@startrek.websiteto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•It's a whole genre! English13·26 days agoAlso every Ben Stiller romcom (and most his other movies too). Dude’s got a hangup on cute blondes, we get it already.
MalikMuaddibSoong@startrek.websiteto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Got another one hooked guys!English52·26 days agoMe when my 13yo daughter shows me how she can draw on her ipad on her mint box because she found, downloaded, and stood up weylus all by herself.
MalikMuaddibSoong@startrek.websiteto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•Til before he was a science fiction author, Gene Wolf helped invent the Pringle potato chipEnglish4·1 month agoThe second book, Claw of the Conciliator, is the hardest slog with the most confusing ending (but is ultimately rewarding when it ‘clicks’).
However the third book, Sword of the Lictor, is the best in the series. So many of the best moments are in this book, as well as some of the most famous quotes.
For me, the masquerade ball at the Archon’s palace is the “buckle up” moment for the rest of the story.
For a real trip, restart book 1 immediately after finishing book 4: there is so much you will see know that you know what to look for.
Also matey, the audible audiobooks are amazing 😎

MalikMuaddibSoong@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?English1·4 months agoAmen, I am equally puzzled.
Truly some of the worst FF decisions all in the same game.
Why is the key to the postgame dungeon a piece of undifferentiated loot? Why did the game allow me to accidentally lock myself out of the postgame by selling it?
Why is the story is a low effort clone of Star Wars?
Why set FF12 in the world of FF:Tactics but make no reference to it?
Why, oh why, an all-women-race of playboy bunny girls in lingerie and heels?
That being said, programming your own teams’ AI is peak jrpg wish there was more of that. This baby got thrown out with all that dirty bath water unfortunately
Once you learn that 1/8 == 3.5g it’s a slippery slope to:
- 1 oz == 28.3 grams
- 1 kg == 2.2 pounds
Slangin sacks without the metric system? Not even once.
MalikMuaddibSoong@startrek.websiteto Music@lemmy.world•Windows 95 chime composer Brian Eno denounces Microsoft for its ties to Israeli governmentEnglish1·4 months agoWow Really? I enjoy Phillip Glass but I had no idea. What can I search for to learn more? “14.4baud phillip glass” is giving me nothing 😔
MalikMuaddibSoong@startrek.websiteto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Which distribution should I recommend to beginners to scare them?English1·4 months agoKnoppix wow, a whole OS on a cdrom. My first foray into Linux, I think read about it an issue of MaximumPC (or maybe it was Maxim)
I felt like such a sorcerer when I crossed the threshold from just burning bootleg media to burning and running an ephemeral operating system.
Thanks for reminding me knoppix is still alive and kicking
MalikMuaddibSoong@startrek.websiteOPto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•Welcome to the teamEnglish8·5 months agoSage advice. In the meeting I will assume positive intent, like he’s protecting me from mummy’s curse.
Oh is it finally time to eat?
