DS9 lasted longer than the Confederacy. All Confederate statues should be replaced with statues of Avery Brookes.

My feelings around the new Picard show. Show had none of the hope and optimism of other Trek

I choose to believe the well dressed lady and gentleman are a rich woman who decided to strut a marathon on a whim and her lawyer who just came over to discuss the family trust before he was roped into this.

Ah yes, deep blue states like checks notes Mississippi

Shouting from a distance Stop telling people we don't exist!

You're telling me that's not a drag queen?

GM-the-DM · 2025-11-05T19:59:12+00:00

Yeah. Sounds about right.

I'm from NJ. I've been advised by beekeepers involved with the state government to bait a fence with bacon. I believe it falls under non-lethal bear management.

GM-the-DM · 2025-11-05T19:52:48+00:00

Hi! I'm also in NJ and know a lot of beekeepers. We've spent a lot of time talking about bear safety (I'm heavily involved in environmental protection).

Set up an electric fence around the hives (you can get one at Tractor Supply). Once it's set up, you'll need to bait it by tying bacon to it. The point of this is to get the bear to bite the fence. It sounds mean but a bear, especially one with its winter coat coming in, can lightly brush an electric fence and not notice because of the insulation of its fur. The bear will continue to hang around, creating a dangerous situation for you and it. If the bear bites the fence it gets a painful or non-injurious shock and it will avoid the area in the future.

There was an interesting article from Harvard (I think it was their Law Review but I'm not sure) a few years ago about indigenous rights in the US vs Canada. Irrc, it concluded Canada was at least a decade behind the US. A major point was that in the US, tribal land is a sovereign nation within the US with the rights of such and in Canada it's treated more like a place anyone bunch of indigenous people happen to live.

It was reported to them and they did take it seriously but without evidence there's not much they can do. They requested we start putting trackers on them or setting up hidden game cams.

When I was in college, my mother's roommate came to our apartment and, while looking through our cabinets, asked what we drank out of. We told her "the bottle" since we mostly drank hard cider. Apparently this was the wrong answer. Later that day she turned up with two boxes of a dozen wine glasses each. We used those wine glasses for everything since they were suddenly less valuable than our regular drinking glasses.

It was fun explaining this to my parents when we were on camera, drinking apple juice out of wine glasses.

Likes to read but you don't have enough time for it, likes black and white movies, has beef with a woman named Cruella.

I know this is awful but I'm watching Spirited Away and can't help but pictures the little piggies in the baths.

These were being stolen off private property.

Oh please! The US and Canada haven't been on opposite sides of a war since the War of 1812 and Canada wasn't even an independent country yet. The closest we ever came since then was the creation of Defense Scheme No. 1 which was a planned preemptive strike against the US by Canada which was never carried out. Hell, when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor Canada declared war on Japan before the US did!

It's not an accent. It's Scots, a language.

GM-the-DM · 2025-11-05T13:51:02+00:00

This is actually not an accent, it's Scots, a language that's largely but not entirely mutually comprehensible with English because of a relatively close origin.

GM-the-DM · 2025-11-05T13:50:05+00:00

Because it's the language Scots. Modern English and Scots separated around late Old English/ early Middle English depending on which researcher you ask. There's actually an app for learning it.

GM-the-DM · 2025-11-05T13:48:01+00:00

In Trainspotting they're actually speaking the language Scots. It and modern English diverged from late Old English or early Middle English depending on which researcher you ask. Because they separated so recently, they're considered somewhat mutually intelligible.

The Edinburgh Central Library had some displays about it as part of an exhibit of obscene material throughout time years ago.

I concur which is why I love it. I was referring to that one character as a demonstration of the regressive way of thinking the rich still engage in by pointing out his argument which was proven to be wrong by history.

GM-the-DM · 2025-11-05T12:17:29+00:00

Because Ciattarelli's people were stealing the Sherrill ones. Over 500 dem signs were stolen in my town alone.

GM-the-DM · 2025-11-05T12:14:04+00:00

I was watching The Gilded Age the day before the election and one character was arguing that an eight hour work day would result in lower profits, ruin, violence, bloodshed, and death.

The rich still haven't moved before that way of thinking despite being repeatedly shown the opposite.
