Accidentally the whole thing?

I reserve my compassion for human beings. If Mitch McConnell ever had any humanity, he sold it a very long time ago.

0% important. I haven't gotten around to Lower Decks yet and I thought the episode was fantastic.

If it isn't so cold that it has very tiny, fragile ice crystals pushed to the surface by the bubbles, it's basically piss.

That goes double for Sprite and Barqs in particular.

You enter the US illegally? Believe it or not, jail. You imprison a US national for entering your country illegally, also jail. Immigrant, emigrant.

If I'm not wearing a sportcoat it goes in my back right pocket. If I am it goes in my inside left.

Dark mode just looks bad aesthetically, IMO. Maybe it's something to do with my ADD, but I can't focus for long on apps or pages using dark mode. They're boring to look at.

When I first started modding Skyrim back in 2012, I spent a solid week solely on water mods looking for something I liked. One day near the end of the week I was walking to work, and I had to cross a bridge. I looked out over the water and had a momentary thought about checking what water mod "they" were using.

TNG probably has the largest proportion of gold standard episodes of any Trek series, IMO. There's so many great episodes.

In no particular order, several that come to mind for me are:

• The Best of Both Worlds
• Inner Light
• Tapestry
• Measure of a Man
• Darmok

As if posting from a mobile device somehow prevents you from using paragraphs and punctuation? Give me a break. You either can't be bothered, which means you're not worth interacting with; or you had to repeat at least a high school English class or two growing up. Either way you need to stop blaming your fucking phone.

My 512GB Steam Deck, easily. I've used it almost every day for going on a year now, and the novelty of playing things like Witcher 3, or Mass Effect, or a fully modded Skyrim anywhere I want still hasn't worn off.

I really like it, for a few reasons. In no particular order:

1. I wasn't sold on this newest iteration of Kirk yet, but after this episode I'm wholly on board. We got to see some of the the swagger and the bravado that define James T. Kirk, but with a unique type of charm all his own as well.
2. I also wasn't the biggest fan of La'an, because she just hadn't the screen time yet to feel like a person. But in an episode all about the looming figure of her ancestry, we ended up seeing that she's much more than just a tie-in to the most popular TOS arch/villain.
3. Seeing an episode take place in the 21st century but not in Los Angeles was pretty cool, and being a Canadian I enjoyed that they took advantage of filming in Canada by not trying to pretend Toronto was New York or something. And then even leaning into the Canada thing with the Roots store and the Canadian currency... it made me happy.
4. I really appreciated the nod to the Temporal Cold War, and how it's likely responsible for the discrepancies between our timeline and the one Star Trek depicts — and the introduction of the Whovian-esque concept of "fixed points", or events that Time insists on making happen no matter what effort is put into averting them.
