Are you saying you need a friend?

That's a rather large leap in logic. And "the poor" wasn't even mentioned, so your opinion just comes off as inflammatory

But I guess opinions are like kittens, people just give 'em away

Lmao, I was having the same thought. "Shore" wouldn't have crossed my mind unless I'm talking about Gulf Shores. And that's a beach town in my mind. Hell, I grew up close enough to Jersey and have lived near the Gulf of Mexico for over 20 years; "shore" just isn't in my vocab like that

You can also choose "no party" as a voter. Idk how that affects voting in primaries, depending on the state you live in... but it's an option as well

Edit: missed the part about "going into politics", which kinda changes the dynamic of my statement... but still, it's an option for voters that aren't going into politics

If you "add to Steam" from Heroic, will the game still receive any updates/patches, or would you have to re-add it to Steam?

Is there any benefit to using the heroic launcher vs just downloading the game from GOG with the steamdeck's browser and adding them to Steam? Like any patches or updates for the game would have to be done manually if not using heroic?

I'm starting to think I should use Heroic for ease of access and then adding whichever one's I want to play at the time as a Non-steam game from there. But wasn't sure what the pros and cons are. I appreciate the info

Do you have a source on how to do this? I keep seeing that you have to use Heroic Launcher or Lutis. I just want to buy games on GOG and then play them on my steam deck, but haven't had time to figure out the best way to go about it

Also, do GOG games only save to internal memory and not the SD card? I read that it one article, but don't know if that's still true.

I'm still figuring out everything I can do with my steam deck, I just don't have as much time as I used to, to REALLY tinker around with it

I'm not a tech guru, but pretty familiar with linux and ok with using CLI (though I've never needed it on steam deck, just a point of reference for my comfortability)

I can't wait to watch Strange New Worlds, but I'm saving it for now. And I love that the Voyager and Discovery themes are your go-to... because they're the best ones! Haven't even seen Discovery, but watched the intro and the theme song is excellent. And you're correct, Janeway was morally right to seperate Tuvix. "Keep your shirt tucked in, go down with the ship, and never abandon a member of your crew". Tuvix wasn't a crew member, and her priority was to the both of them, not him alone... I'll die on that hill too lol. But thank you, I'm excited that your excited for us! We've just been nerding out on it with no shame

Last bit that's an unpopular opinion: I hate Bones. I understand his merit as a balancing character and he occasionally does or says something that really makes you say, "hell yeah, good on ya McCoy!"... but fuck Bones. I'm sorry, I'm not sorry; I can't help it. He's just a dick as his whole personality, to the point that it seems like he was mean as an actual person, not just a character. "Fuck Bones" is a running joke between us at this point. I just need him to get off the bridge and go do his job for the love of god, you don't have to insert your hardline opinions about everything; nobody asked you. "You're a doctor damnit, not a command officer!"— End rant. But I've noticed I'm in the minority on that one lol. Bashir's the sweetest doctor by a landslide though

I do plan on watching Discovery, despite what I've heard, because I still love the premise of it all, at the end of the day. I already know the first season will be rough... but idk, if I can get through season one of DS9 (and let's be honest, season 2 as well), I think I'll get into it. Cause by season 3 of DS9, it started to slap and felt like good 'ol space again, and I started to love it for it's own flavor. So I'm optimistic and persistent enough lol

But yeah, it's the best thing Lemmy has given to me because I'm more than officially hooked. Hell, my text ringtone is the TOS intercom tone and my wife has a Janeway popsocket on her phone (There's a right way, a wrong way, and the Janeway). We have TOS on blueray and I'm planning on hitting up the library for the rest... y'all got us pretty good, to say the least lmao But we appreciate it

Yup, got the wife on board too lol. We both love Sci-Fi, but neither of us ever watched it. And then suddenly, we had an enormous pool of great sci-fi to watch! We started probably around October, 2023

I had posted this on !risa@startrek.website around that time

If they have a second set of pads with it; put the first ones on and rip 'em off quick, taking the hair off like a wax job. Then place the next set of pads

The /s makes it sound rude, like it's not nice to see me lol

Witness me!!!

You just made me realize that my client only shows plaintext usernsmes now as well. Now I'm wondering what username was 👁👄👁 ... it always made me uncomfortable seeing it, dunno why

I NEVER NOTICED YOUR USERNAME, BUT RECOGNIZE YOUR PROFILE PIC MF'ER! I'MA CRANK MY HOG AND GET IT WARMED UP TO START STALKING YOU RIGHT NOW BROTHER! AROOOOOOO!!!

That bastard and the rest of the Star Trek people here! They got me watching Star Trek because of their damn memes. They were often funny even without context, what can I say?

I had literally never watched it before. I've now gone through TOS, TNG, Voyager, Lower Decks (save the last season), and I'm over halfway through DS9. Mother fuckers assimilated me... and I'm ok with it

I suspect they're also using an alt now to lurk/comment and not posting like they were. There's a user I saw that seemed to track, but could also be a coincidence. Hope they're good regardless of anyone's opinion, we're all still just people here at the end of the day

Heyyy, it apparently works the same on Boost. In honor of teaching me how to tag people, you are now tagged as "Tagged". Thank you and congratulations!
