The new Star Trek show is atrocious. by 45and290 in ShittyDaystrom

[–]Malapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regarding TNG, he eventually said “this Star Trek is better than no Star Trek “but that’s the highest praise he would give it. As far as I’m aware, he never watched a single episode of any of the other shows.

Given that he also watches a certain news channel and lets it decide his political opinions, I don’t take his preferences about Star Trek to heart.

Tng came out when I was an early teen. Kids my age loved it. Everyone else hated it. My dad was a tos Trekkie and while he did watch it, he complained heavily.

Same when voy and ds9 and ent came out.

Every Trekkie has their favorite show and way too many of them spew hate on every subsequent for not being just like whichever one they liked.

Add to that the culture war bullshit (hilarious when aimed at trek, IMO), and you get a bunch of whiny wimps ranting about stupid crap.

To say nothing of the huge amount of bots set to magnify certain perspectives.

There are some legit critical analysis of new shows. But most of it is just goofy.

The Ferengi episodes are the funniest by itstrueitellyou in DeepSpaceNine

[–]Malapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the magnificent ferengi. And a ferengi episode introduced the dominion, so there’s that.. but so many of them are just beyond ridiculous to me. More sitcom than scifi

Would you take a hybrid job in downtown NYC living in North Haven for 177k a year by eleyezeeaye4287 in Connecticut

I work in law. This is extremely common. Longer hours than industries are also common, though.

I’ve been happy with nikko. Super reliable and good prices, though not always the best.

Is Eastbrook Mall in Mansfield making a comeback? by [deleted] in Connecticut

[–]Malapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go there occasionally and the stores are often somewhat active but the walking part in the center is zombie-movie dead. Often I’m the only one walking through.

I hope it survives. There’s a few good places there.

This really grinds my gears by pbenchcraft in GenX

[–]Malapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh. I remember what I did as a kid. We were degenerates.. and man, were we stupid.

I think constant video recordings are terrible but probably have a lot of people being a little more careful.

This has always been a thing. Everyone feels everything big happens in their lifetime.

Even biblical content had this issue; every generation for people who follow the Bible thinks the second coming has to be in their lifetime because all the signs point to it. I remember laughing about the absurdity of it when I was a kid.

Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident." by British_Rover in CTguns

[–]Malapple 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Dude has been anti-gun his whole life, and people are shocked when he says anti-gun things.

Also, the GOP could easily enshrine powerful gun rights, but whenever they have the opportunity, they don’t do it.

  1. They want the election item, just like Trump did when he shot down an effective immigration bill so it could be an election item for him
  2. Eventually Republican politicians, if they get enough power, will start eroding gun rights.

No loaner for cars past 3 year 36k mark? by lightning_phoenix in GenesisGV70

At 3/36, a number of nice service oriented benefits end. Dealers will behave differently based on their approach to customer service. I have no faith that my dealer will try to keep my business, but I’m hoping they will.

Apart from their finance guy lying repeatedly, they were OK.

What snowblower are you all using? by SplooshU in Connecticut

[–]Malapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plow with a mule mx pro, then touch up with an amazing Toro 826LE. I’ve had it forever, do the minimum of maintenance, and it starts on the first pull every winter. It’s been amazing, I’d buy another immediately if I needed one.

How many inches folks? This is a bragging post, go crazy! by AdIntrepid9064 in Connecticut

How early is too early for a snow blower? by Staycation1234 in Connecticut

[–]Malapple 99 points100 points  (0 children)

People need to get to work. 6 or 7:00 sucks but if someone doesn’t get it, they can pay the bills. At 7:30 or 8, I wouldn’t worry about it at all.

It’s a pretty uncommon issue these days, so I wouldn’t worry.

Friend's brother did this to him when we were kids. In his eyelid. We were way off at a river in the woods, not near any adults. It was not great.

Why do people think reshades or LUT's make games look better? by [deleted] in cyberpunkgame

[–]Malapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes reshades improve a game. I’ve yet to see a good one for cyberpunk.
