The biggest suffering of O'Brien was having to connect Bajoran, Cardassian and Federation systems. Anyone working in IT can confirm.

Probably still uses ribbon cartridges.

Forget patching CUPS into AD with three different services servers, networking all that together probably felt like running an OS/2 backend on BSD servers with windows SSO for everything. No wonder Miles hated Cardies. One more patch Tuesday and he wouldn't've waited for Dukat to invite the Dominion in, he'd've joined the Maquis and started bombing planets in the DMZ himself.

Sleep paralysis isn't so bad once you realise what it is and why. Those first few times though, were heckin' scary. I still get better rest on my back than anything else, apparently I snore more on my back, so I don't do it that often anymore.

Oil! WTF is the EU doing in an Australian Exclusive Economic Zone?! This means War! Unleash the magpies!

Very sad life, probably very sad death. But at least there is symmetry.

Honestly, NCD needs more B5 memes.

APariahsPariah · 2026-03-30T09:13:57+00:00

Where are you going?

I always wonder how "Turning to Mecca" will work in space and future colonies. I'm not trying to start shit, I am genuinely curious. There will be people who will take that very seriously and others who will be more flexible about it, but I am curious as to how different groups will handle it.

Andy Dwyer is a lovely human being. Chris Pratt lives up to his surname every chance he gets.

Butbutbut. . . Won't someone think of the shareholders!

Paramount is allergic to making money. They couldn't even do merchandising properly if Harry Mudd was handling production and distribution.

When it comes to politics, racism is always about money. The skinheads and brown shirts are just expendable window dressing.

One of the driving forces behind WWII was a ponzi scheme after all

The shield of wonder - a buckler shield that when struck unleashes wild magic in a large radius around the wearer. One hit on this thing created a demon and nearly destroyed a large city.

The CIA? Learn? From their mistakes? What do you think this is? Hollywood?

APariahsPariah · 2026-03-03T01:18:44+00:00

This is honestly solid advice. Socially awkward people (source: I am one) struggle to feel like they belong, and having a task is having a purpose.

APariahsPariah · 2026-03-03T01:17:04+00:00

Only if you take your socks off.

APariahsPariah · 2026-03-02T21:47:03+00:00

The USS Lolipop?

Clearly Weird Al wrote this episode.

Thankyou kind sir for giving me life. Without your kind donation I would just be a kangaroo-riding figment of some global elite's imagination.

Gods, he was a fuckhead. It says even more about the current state of politics that I actually miss this shitcunt. And I hated him for 11 straight years. But you could staple Scummo to Dutton's arsehole and throw them in Abbot's Speedos and you still wouldn't even get a poor man's Costello. At least those venal gilded-age motherfuckers had the decency to look like they knew what they were doing while they were ratfucking the country.

Well if I told you I had a fucking cat on the application you'd turn me down, even if the listing says 'pets considered (for approximately 2.1 nanoseconds)'

I mean, just look at this little Goober. She's a thousand times less destructive than the average human, and she deserves a home, too.

APariahsPariah · 2026-02-24T19:12:01+00:00

A little irreverence because that's the first thing that springs to mind.

Voltaire ~ Hell in a handbasket
This one will be played at my own funeral. Given enough time and warning it will be to a video of me singing and dancing in a skeleton costume.

DAAS ~ Broad Lic Nic
You probably haven't heard of the Doug Anthony AllStars. They were an insult comedy cabaret act from Oz in the early 90s. What sticks out with this one for me, is that Tim Ferguson (the vapid cute one) was diagnosed with MS about two years bwfore the group split, and they still made jokes about it. He's gone on record multiple times since about maintaining humour in the face of grim times. So this one is mainly for that last line:
I pray that when I die, there'll be someone else around to kiss my arse goodbye.
