Trying to go it alone is suicide. If someone is legitimately planning to be well supplied and wait out a major calamity while everyone around them starves than they're going to end up dead right quick. Not only do you have to sleep sometimes but gangs are going to form quickly and looting will...

I know one guy who is prepped for the apocalypse. He's got the decade worth of food plus water supplies plus a serious stack of firewood along with other bits. He lives in a nice subdivision in a nice home sporting a lot that might be a quarter of an acre. His neighbors are going to feast on his...

I've heard that part of the reason she got canned was the crazy was already setting in on the show and I'm open to that possibility. I'd still have ejected Nelix.

Doggo just learned his owner is a NERD

Unfortunately his videos are all temporarily down but one of the reviewers I've been watching for years now is SFDebris at SF Debris - Science Fiction Reviews and More He had an idea for Harry that was so good it hurt me to hear. We know that even though they keep Kim on the show that for the...

I've seen a lot of disagreement over which episodes people have liked from the half season but most people only seem to like one or two. Combined with only getting half the episodes, the increasing time between each season to get new episodes out and shit like Rick acting as Harmon's mouthpiece...

That post is a response to your post here which was part of the larger discussion at that moment.

Reminder they were going to kill off Harry Kim until Wong was voted one of People Magazine's Most Beautiful People. Their next choice to create room for Jeri Ryan was firing Kess even though the audience fucking HATED Nelix. At least George Lucas, upon facing fan backlash about Jar-Jar, scaled...

I think the little girl episode is the one where everyone sits in the ready room musing on whether or not they should stop a planet from exploding and you just want to punch everyone. "Well what if it was an evil dictator instead?" IT'S NOT AN EVIL DICTATOR IT'S A PLANET WITH A DILITHIUM...

The episode where Data is communicating with a little girl on a doomed planet Picard tells Data to cut the communication and is 100% prepared to just nope right the fuck out and let that whole world explode right up until the voice starts asking for help.

The Prime Directive primarily exists to keep us out of meddling with pre-warp civilizations. When someone actually breaks the warp barrier (or is about to) the Federation gets the ball rolling on diplomatic involvement as those people are about to enter a much bigger universe than they knew...

He may not have liked it and sought a diplomatic solution but he was going to do what he was told. Hell, we know with hindsight that solution was no solution at all. The Cardassians don't follow the treaty for shit, arm their colonists and the Federation's help boils down to pointing out that...

The Baku were on a Federation planet and there was an agreement made with the Sona, their cousins, regarding resources. This treaty had Federation approval. The Baku were not native to that planet. The Indians were on a Federation planet and there was an agreement made with the Cardassians to...

Movie Picard backs the Baku because he wants to get in the pants of a milf space elf despite everything involving the resettlement being nice and legal. It's not really even the planet that is at issue either. It's the ring around the planet and the medical benefits it provides. Television show...

In the episode where Data creates Lal Picard does tell an admiral to eat dirt when the dude pulls rank trying to separate them. Even then he's not exactly defying the chain of command as he plans to immediately return to Star Fleet Command to get shit sorted out. No you're not separating a...

The only time Picard really went off the reservation was in Insurrection when he was under the influence of a milf space elf. Taking off the combadge for effect was not his thing.

The novella Who Goes There is really good if someone is looking for a bit more of The Thing. Unfortunately The Thing From Outer Space isn't very good and neither is the soft reboot prequel thing from a few years ago. So you've got one good written story and one good movie. There's at least two...

But with TNG

Wait a couple months, change your name to Smith and move. edit - probably have to delete all social media everything immediately

Fox News still exists in the 24th century.

Back in the day when you got your cash grab it was shit like Return to Mayberry, Return to Gilligan's Island, etc. You got everyone back, you went over some of the same beats, no new ground was broken but in the end everyone got what they were looking for. That's all I wanted with this. I just...

It's alright, everyone thinks that one is a gigantic piece of shit.

Ten light years isn't a ton better. It's still ten years.

So there's an episode of DS9 where a changeling posting as Bashir has rigged a runabout with a proto-matter bomb and enhanced shields. The Federation and Klingons have all gathered around DS9 for what everyone believes is the coming Cardassian/Dominion fleet but the real plan is to use that bomb...

Wait, so that supernova was traveling to Romulus for five hundred years and it still snuck up on them? An exploding star doesn't explode faster than the speed of light so 500 light years is minimum 500 years of travel time. Maybe they all deserved to die.

No, this is not R Kelly.

He delivered many convincing spears until it convincingly fucked up his spine and shelved him for a decade.

Internet says that's like 185 miles per hour? Goddamn.

But like, with Kobe.

edit - double

Bert Kreischner's book Life of the Party is funny as fuck and he does the reading for the audiobook. One of the stories is I think him dressing up as a member of KISS to perform at a grade school talent show when he's like 10 and rocking out while the music played? I don't remember exactly but...

Reading the comments I'm getting the impression that he does the wildest hot takes for shit like this regularly?

Sure took long for more proactive moderation to turn in to people trying to game the system to cause trouble.

The first go I heard something that didn't quite sound like the slur but now that my brain's locked on it comes out clear as day every time.

Just saw it and it exceeded expectations. I by far prefer the last act of this to the last act of the book. The book does as close to nothing with the Overlook (as it is rubble in the book) or its ghosts as possible while the movie actually tries to do some shit. The opening music is the same...

Like I said it would have been a better film if it was just "there was an EMP attack, these fucking monsters showed up, we ran, we don't know what happened anywhere." Keeping it mysterious is superior to declaring them invincible and having them beat all military off screen to then end the film...

If you're prepping for the boogaloo and you're diabetic than all you can really do is prep ketogenic. Bailing on carbs has decent results for some diabetics. Insulin storage requires refrigeration which can be challenging.
