I cut my hair in preparation for what is to come.

I haven't cut my hair in at least 15 years, and never before in preparation for anything.

We're all pretty much just waiting for them to kidnap the wrong (or, sadly right) person.. and then a charismatic and unpolitically aligned person to step up and lead the rest of us forward against this nonsense.

I could go on about olives for days.

Brown, green, black. Yum.

I especially love the green pimento stuffed ones. I'm a maniac. Did you know that pimento is a type of pepper??

It gets pretty crazy when it comes to storage.

A very profitable product in any format. Humans like collecting stuff.

The less you have, the less you are burdened by.

This concept also applies to nefarious or predatory activities in the name of big daddy dollar or count currency.

Once dead internet finishes manifesting, it'll be simply bots shilling & scamming themselves. The data centers will cease to feed the greedy pigs and will be left for the rats. However, the product will have no time to rejoice for we will already have become addicted to the next big thing.

"Thugs" isn't the right word.

Terrorists. Fascistic Lackeys. Brutalizers.

I have plenty of synonymous for these faceless fuckfaced assholes.

Oi, I'm but a simple socialist who once lived in a commune, residing in the world's newest fascistic regime! A few of us Yankees still read. I personally prefer to watch the beebs so I can keep up with current trends such as Cockney rhyming slang.

I'm sure they both own plenty of baby oil. Too bad we are the ones getting dry-fucked.

Mayonnaise, probably.. would work for most Europeans.

For the Western hemisphere, hollandaise or Thousand Island. (Keep in mind, ketchup won't work well with the olives.)

Asia, you're gonna want a few extra things to build it up. Japan got it right with Umami, baby.

Tribbles and barn, say ye?

'Discovery'... the main contribution from that distraction was giving us Harry "Dwight" Mudd & 'Strange New Worlds'.

As soon as we got a chance to evacuate that starship, we took it; and joined up with a better crew.

You're definitely correct about the writing on TOS. To expand upon your point - look at the widescreen monitors and flip phone communicators, the earpiece devices and other things that they use. Those didn't even exist yet, not really. I'm sure in some ways these things informed the development of the real-life equivalents, however ~ you can't deny the writers did a lot of things as realistically as possible (given the setting). I can't remember ever seeing fire in the vacuum of space in TOS. However, on 'Discovery' we had plenty of whacky-not-in-a-fun-way scenarios.

Lillian in space. Thanks for the chuckle.

I liked LD okay, but the bleeped cursing bothers me. Either fucking cuss or frickin' don't. It happens too much to not be distracting for me. The Orville felt like classic Trek, which is my understanding was on purpose. Seth was a real member of Starfleet, albeit minor.

What happens on Risa stays on Risa.
