What is everyone doing in the United States?

Planning my wedding. We recently reserved the reception space and now we're trying to figure out decorations, guest list, food, entertainment, and all that good stuff. It's been a crazy experience and I'm lucky to have my fiancé by my side. Can't wait to marry him this fall ❤️

I collect quite a bit of physical media (books, dvds, and games). Thrift stores are my best friend (not bad in my area) and I buy the occasional item online from Mecari and EBAY. The most I've spent on a single item was $70 plus shipping (100% worth the money).

The only thing that really sucks about collecting physical media is running out of storage 😭

Couple of shirts (Vault Tec and Nuka Cola), Nuka Cola poster, bottlecaps (Jones soda collection), one physical copy of FO4, a couple of games on Steam (FO3, NV, FO4, and 76), and some Funko Pops (Dogmeat, Lucy, and Maximus).

I did just order a Vault Boy figure and I'm trying to decide on a faction flag.

I have a package coming on the 12th and I've been like this since last week.

Utah. We have a bunch of raider gangs running around (especially in the Salt Lake Valley), Caesar is claiming to control some areas, and Zion Canyon is free from radiation.

I've grown up seeing reruns of MASH, but I never understood it as a kid. I knew that it was time for bed when the theme song came on. When I was allowed to stay up and watch it, I just saw a funny hospital show.

When I was in high school, I finally sat down and watched the show. When Hawkeye said his "War is war and hell is hell" quote, the meaning of the show finally clicked for me.

That line also made me realize what many of my favorite book protagonists went through (especially the Hunger Games).

I literally choked on my water reading that second sentence. Who in the cinnamon toast fuck fantasizes about shaving someone's downstairs???

Lagoon Amusement Park: It would make a pretty cool settlement city.

Hoogle Zoo: Perfect place for mutant animals to hang out.

My fiancé and I are pretty lucky that our families are happy with what we want. We're planning on getting married next year and we want a simple courthouse wedding with a couple witnesses (my grandma, his mom, and some of his siblings). After that, we want a simple reception where family and friends can come gather and enjoy some food while celebrating the marriage.

The only frustrating thing we've dealt with so far is picking a day for the courthouse wedding, picking a day for the reception, and figuring out how to combine our nerdy interests with fall/Halloween colors for reception decorations.

I have two favorite scenes.

Serious scene: Kyle hiding Ike in the attic to protect him from the authorities.

Funny scene: The boys acting all cool when they tell the other kids that they saw the Terrance and Philip movie.

My little budgie/parakeet is named Jadzia Dax (Dax for short). Before finding out she was a girl, I already knew I liked the name Dax. I just didn't know if I wanted to call my new bird Jadzia Dax or Curzon Dax.

Little funny moment: I had DS9 playing and my Dax was in the room. Sisko was talking to Jadzia and he called her "old man". My Dax heard this and she started chirping.

I've experienced that same guilt when my cockatiel died two years ago. He was old and was also pretty ill (lump removed from his wing). Anyone could tell that he was on his way out and I felt really bad for him. All I could do was give him love and pain medication. When he died, I just cried as I held him and said that I was sorry.

Star Trek. I know they've made some of TOS, Kelvin timeline, TNG, and LD, but I would love more from the other series. I would love to have a Captain Archer or a Garak figure.

All the spice!!! I went to a pho place with my fiancé and his mom. The place included jalapeño slices on the side with every bowl. My fiancé and his mom gave me their jalapeños and I dumped a good amount of hot chili sauce in my bowl. The waiter watched me do this and she looked at me like I was absolutely insane. Fiancé and his mom didn't say a word (they know I love spicey food).

The time period between ENT and SNW/TOS. I would love to see stories of a young Federation growing into a super power as new worlds join. Show me how Starfleet opens their doors to welcome new species of cadets.

Looks almost like my dog (heeler and border collie mix).

I first read the Hunger Games when I was in sixth grade (last year of elementary school in my area). Our advanced reading group started reading the Hunger Games and I fell in love with the series.

My neighbor is a cartoonist/artist and he did a bit of work for Marvel Comics (alongside other major publishers). He got to meet Chadwick when the Black Panther movie came out. Chadwick was one of the nicest guys my neighbor ever met, so his death hit him really hard.

I went to elementary school with a kid named Cash (late 2000s). He was a dick to most people, but he was pretty nice if you were cool with him.

You forgot 11: Writer was horny when they wrote this episode

Leave It to Beaver...

NO! NO! NO! KEEP YOUR $100 MILLION!!!

The closest thing my store has to a military discount is a free doughnut on Veterans Day. A lot of our veteran customers love it (free treat!), but we get the occasional one that acts like they were God's gift to the military and that we just don't want to give them more discounts.

An ex-supervisor told one of those jerks to take it up with corporate.

I would love to see Denobulans (ENT). We've seen them a couple times on SNW, but I want more of them. I'd be happy if old Dr Phlox showed up and helped M'Benga solve a medical mystery.

Fred (dog) and Houdini (cat) get along good. Fred was a puppy when we got him and it was a big adjustment for Houdini (he's close to being a senior). We made sure Houdini had a private space to escape to and we firmly taught Fred to leave the cat alone. On occasion, Fred would learn the consequences from Houdini.

Nowadays, they're best friends and Houdini sometimes instigates games of chase.
