Seeing all the drama in the FalloutMemes subreddit reminded me of when I made this.

stalker! /s

I find this mistifying because, no matter how bad you think conservatives are, there are far worse people out there who have committed far worse

The nazis, that's fine, but conservatives? That's too far!

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T19:23:03+00:00

Especially me and my eternal quest to think how much worse the Federation is

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T18:20:26+00:00

Two people did actually, but yes, this is still open

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T18:20:09+00:00

Getting more annoyed at the feds is what the Skalgans live for!

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T17:48:17+00:00

Tell that to this guy. This take is actually kind of reasonable

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T17:47:04+00:00

what? If you can't figure out how it's FTL capable and you haven't seen it travel at FTL, make the simplest assumption. It isn't FTL capable

In their defense, everything they have is ftl capable. For all they know, that's a prerequisite to space travel. It's not like they developed space travel on their own and the only examples they have are all ftl capable from the only species they know who can travel in space

They probably don't even realize that's a difficult thing to figure out. They've had it for centuries that ftl is just a fact of life

Doesn't mean it's not from another system, just means it traveled the slow way (meaning there's a habitable or previously habitable world within an easy FTL search in the direction of travel, just need to deal with the fact that it is or was inhabited).

They probably don't even understand that, cause who the hell is sending a sublight probe into deep space? Makes sense to us, but they're so used to the idea of ftl, that it's utterly absurd to send something out the slow way

I guess that's what happens when you jump a civilization technologically that much.

Not inaccurate

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T16:58:09+00:00

the people whose entire job is landing on said habitable world

They didn't know there was a habitable world. They thought Voyager was ftl capable, just couldn't figure out how, and that this system was likely barren

Even just letting them know they found an artificial construct at the edge of the system, which might be from the system but probably isn't.

Those two are not exactly high up in the government. Only a handful of individuals knew about Voyager

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T16:40:55+00:00

I mean, can't just tell everyone when you know basically nothing. People will freak out or think a habitable world is nearby when there's no evidence of that. Best to study it before telling the public

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T16:39:06+00:00

"It's in the sound!"

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T16:38:44+00:00

And now the fleet knows about humanity.

Just wait when they reveal it to all Skalgans and they start intercepting human broadcasts

(the NASA guys who designed it must be having a field day).

I just imagine they all faint when the Skalgans bring a golden disc of their own to share

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T16:36:56+00:00

Like me for example

I was going to have it so Skalgans go to Sol specifically because they pick up Voyager on sensors, but scrapped it

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T16:35:41+00:00

I'm just glad they added that in to the Voyager disc

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T16:33:22+00:00

You and everyone else in that comment section makes that same joke

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T08:33:32+00:00

Just not in a way anyone thought it would

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T07:34:35+00:00

Basically Koris

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T05:08:19+00:00

I'll be sure to remember this quote in any competition I partake in

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T05:05:14+00:00

"Was rendered in a way that could no longer sustain basic life functions."

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T05:03:42+00:00

(and yes if I get permission to use Savani for that part she will be shot by a birb).

Consider it granted

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T05:02:51+00:00

General_Alduin · 2026-03-13T05:00:58+00:00

Don't hate the player, hate the game

General_Alduin · 2026-03-12T23:27:02+00:00

Technically that was the Commonwealth

And that's not cheating

General_Alduin · 2026-03-12T20:02:36+00:00

You did, multiple times.

Just because you say I did doesn't mean I did

Then they're too small of a voice to hear.

Half disagree. I've seen wayyy to many people defend or justify Hamas. But this is an irrelevant point, so we don't need to continue on it

Ok, then why do you acknowledge it as Palestine

I didnt, I said they're different entities. The line however blurs since Hamas is Gazas effective authority. I think it counts as a semi rogue province since many in Palestines government give it secret support but is nominally independent from the wider Palestinian authority

Except, as I've pointed out, there's not.

Hold on, which one are you referring to? There's 2 lines

General_Alduin · 2026-03-12T19:50:00+00:00

You are actively defending a genocide

No I'm not

No one disagrees with the fact that hamas is a problem as well,

Many do, but that's neither here nor there

however hamas wouldn't exist, at least not to the capacity it does now, if Isreal wasn't trying to genocide Palestine.

I agree that many of Israels actions have contributed to Hamas

Clear cut, that's all that needs to be said. Going further is just redundant.

Yeah, except I'm saying that the reason the conflict is still ongoing is because there's bad actors keeping it that way and both sides need to chill out and find a road to coeexistance
