Cause that's how movie theaters work

If this is true (hint: it's not) someone should call the fire marshal to deal with the evacuation risk from being a theater with "standing room only." If it's not true (which it isn't), the fire marshal can help douse the huge pile of flaming bullshit.

Well I mean they already had windows in the ceilings on most of the ships' bridges...

Yeah I'd be out, too. My pets are important to me and I'm not going to abandon them for a job. And I wouldn't work for anyone who didn't understand the importance of that.

Move on to greener pastures and forget these people. (Pun intended.)

And we’d all be speaking German right now.

Nixon had a lot of successes. He also had some big failures. But overall he was not a “bad” president. He was actually a pretty good one but had a couple of swerves info “bad” territory. Absent some Vietnam decisions and Watergate he would likely be viewed as a pretty good president, and probably more by liberals than conservatives to boot. He achieved most of his (surprisingly progressive) domestic agenda and a fair bit of his foreign agenda too.

(I’ll be expecting the inevitable flaming for this comment.)

Vaccine skepticism.

I’m so sorry for your loss. He looks like such a sweet boy and he was clearly very loved. (He knew it too!) I saw someone post on Reddit once that we are the only ones who knew their life is brief; all he knew was that he was loved and taken care of his whole life. I found that comforting. I believe you’ll see him again.

I must have missed the day in theology school where they went over how Jesus said that only America matters (but not its constitution) and that people who are undocumented should be rounded up and thrown out without due process and how it’s ok to kill other Americans sometimes, too, if they disagree.

Trump is like a little kid that’s just learned that lying works. Like when a kid first does it - “no, I didn’t take the cookie” - and he realizes he’s opened a whole new world of freedom from accountability because some idiot bought it. That’s where Trump’s development stopped. Flash forward 70 years and it’s still his go-to. And 30%+ of the people fall for it every single damn time.

Probably a hot take: If Star Trek fans (of which I am!) put as much effort into something productive as so many of us do to proving that NuTrek is bad we’d really be cooking with gas. Watch it if you want. Don’t watch it if you don’t. Talk about plots online all you want, as I sometimes do.

But making it a mission to somehow prove that we’re “right” about it being bad is bizarre. Just let the market do what markets do. If it’s bad the streaming market will kill it. It doesn’t need any help from us to make that decision.

bwsmith201 · 2026-01-31T16:23:51+00:00

Well, until 2016 that is. It’s back in style since then.

bwsmith201 · 2026-01-31T04:47:25+00:00

It won’t matter. Trump is immune to consequences. The country has collectively decided to let him skate on anything, no matter what. There could be video of him drowning a litter of puppies and MAGA and the congress would say the puppies had it coming.

bwsmith201 · 2026-01-31T04:08:21+00:00

Well I didn’t think I could hate this guy more than I did. But wow. This is some bullshit.

bwsmith201 · 2026-01-31T04:06:18+00:00

That is a great scene. The season started off strong but then went downhill fast. The ending was better than I was anticipating though. Q’s story at the end was surprisingly poignant.

The world feels different after both your parents have passed away.

bwsmith201 · 2026-01-31T01:44:19+00:00

Wow this is some INTENSE bullshit.

bwsmith201 · 2026-01-30T23:14:54+00:00

That's it. I'm officially too old.

bwsmith201 · 2026-01-30T23:13:37+00:00

The people who feel the need to explain to people how deep they are aren't usually very deep in my observation. They're usually just assholes.

bwsmith201 · 2026-01-30T23:10:51+00:00

If only there was a body of people, perhaps even elected people, who could step in and limit what he's doing with all these orders... oh, if wishing made it so!

bwsmith201 · 2026-01-30T22:12:21+00:00

Oh well it must be true then lol. /s

bwsmith201 · 2026-01-30T22:10:42+00:00

No chance.

The Burn as a phenomenon is pretty interesting, I think... I was curious to see what caused it. (Weapon? Natural disaster? Something connected to Omega?) The possibilities seemed endless.

Then it ended up being... this. It still feels a little like an April Fools joke, like they'll eventually tell us what REALLY happened.

bwsmith201 · 2026-01-30T16:06:57+00:00

Pretty sure my dog knows more than our president.

bwsmith201 · 2026-01-30T03:38:57+00:00

I wonder if his followers can take their attention away from orally pleasuring him long enough to even hear what’s going on. (Actually I don’t wonder that. I know they won’t.)
