  • I spent the first 24 years of my life living in rural northern Michigan, where they have more Confederate flags than the Confederacy did.

  • Could even be a copycat using the opportunity to get their manifesto in the news

  • I had to take a day off for my boosters. The second one has me curled up into a ball shivering for 6 hours. Still better than permanent lung and memory damage

  • I can't handle any comedy where the punchline is hicks, because the cringe is too real for me. Can't watch Letterkenney either unfortunately. Spent too long growing up around those people to see them as funny rather than hateful

  • That's why it's working. It's such obvious provocation, but he's so insecure he can't resist it anyway

  • Yeah, as soon as Trump tries something like that, he's no longer a useful idiot, and all the actual old money, that he's so desperate to suck up to, will destroy him

  • He's more of a mascot, like Morn in DS9, but not as good looking

  • So the answer is just to buy a lab-grown diamond, and then tell everyone it's real, because once the poors have it, it won't be cool anymore

  • Talk to your DM! Does the warlock have a copy of her pact that she (or anyone in the party) can read? This would be the perfect time to call on any Wizards or diviners you may have helped out in the past.

    It may feel like you need to spring a Wish on your DM, so they can't twist it against you, but actually, the spell, and any big moments like it, will be way more fun if you work together to figure it out. When your DM knows what you want to happen, they can find ways to work it in, and the story almost always ends up better for it. Collaborative storytelling like this is the whole reason we play TTRPGs and not only video games

  • I do this too! I otherwise don't listed to music at all, but when I need to be somewhere, it's the best way to keep track of time

  • It does seem weird to me that he would still have all the evidence on him in Middle-of-Nowhere PA, a couple days later, but I mostly just talk about that as a way to point out this is all still allegations

  • Strange New Worlds, despite being a prequel, is a great place to start. Deep Space 9 is also really good for learning about Star Trek, and it's probably the best written overall. You could also watch a Best of the Next Generation marathon. I'd recommend that over watching the whole thing, because TNG really shows it's age sometimes.

    The most important thing to remember is that most Star Trek shows take a little while to get off the ground. They usually find their feet around season 3 (that's when Riker grew his beard).

  • No, but he's a flawed character commonly misinterpreted by fascists

  • You misundstand me. I'm probably one of Enterprise's biggest fans. It's just not what I'd recommend for someone getting into Star Trek. It's tone is different, and the roots of the franchise aren't easy to see if you don't know to look for them. I wouldn't recommend Discovery as a first show for the same reason. Strange New Worlds though is an excellent option.

    I've actually personally been getting a friend into Star Trek through Lower Decks and DS9. Once she was hooked, telling her there was a Lower Decks crossover in SNW got her onboard there as well. Now we're kind of watching everything simultaneously lol

  • I've been thinking about this recently. Video Game is becoming such a broad term as technology progresses, and the number of people engaging with them is exploding. I expect, soon, we'll see distinct interactive arts defining themselves. For now, interactive art is what I'm going with

  • Code Lyoko. The symbol was the "face" of their AI villain

  • The French animated movie Mars Express has been pretty popular since it's released last year as well
