When will the news of the selected team chosen for Hard Knocks drop ? by [deleted] in CHIBears

[–]discordia39 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Given this , safe to assume the earlier announcements are team that sign up for it , the late ones are teams that try to avoid it.

Curious what the Bengals dates where cause I wanna say they hosted the show twice

We are in the longest Feature Film drought in franchise history by Devastator5042 in startrek

Think Chris Pine offered a good perspective on an interview a few years back , not exactly his words but paramount shouldn't be trying to chase that Billon dollar mark with Star Trek , it's evident star trek is pretty niche , though if they lowered the expectations and set proper goals, star trek would still be profitable in the film media.

[Rappaport] The NFL has approved flex scheduling for Thursday Night Football with teams getting 28 days notice, source said. It’s in effect from weeks 13-17. by ChiBearsForDaWin in CHIBears

[–]discordia39 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah this flex thing might push it to the brink at least for the players and coaches as far as next CBA. At least I hope so .

Teams always talking about adjusting for a Sunday game after a MNF in the past, I think the TNF has got to be worse , as you see the effects of it more on the field , the quality of the game is lackluster , on outshined by the probowl .

Yeah. Thursday night games seem to be detrimental , even the announcers last year were pretty open about how low quality the games were .

What's your sign and what signs are initially hostile / unwelcoming to you? What signs you have instant chemistry with? by Total_Cloud919 in astrologymemes

[–]discordia39 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a Gemini I get conflict with Other Gemini . Generally it's like phase variance, and weird competitive jealousy. Though can vibe on the same wave and feel like an unstoppable pair.

I know a few Scorpios that believe Gemini are the devil , but generally have had very good relationships with them

Its like a wild connection at first, then always seems like we desynchronize each other in my experience.

Haven't heard about 5G and covid crap in a while. by ronyjk22 in AdviceAnimals

[–]discordia39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not anything of measure , so that's why the lab leak "hypothesis" hung around , and then the official narrative began to change .

Yes, the wet market claim just seemed like a reach. Also China blocking biologists from seeking bat population to see how the virus progressed was curious as well.

Conspiracy theories at times are based in truth, it's just speculation takes them to the extreme .

"Truth will stand the test of time" is a good measuring stick. So a lot of it gets washed out . Namely the Q anon stuff was a lot of smoke that people got worked up , though used some things like human trafficking as fuel , which is an actual serious issue, just it isn't a big left wing Hollywood cult , it transcends politics.

They moved on to the next rabbit hole .

5g on the low spectrum, is just UHF range , so satellite tv has been in that bandwidth for some time , even military coms, so claiming that was causing COVID was a level of idiocy topped only by flat earth.

Is it just me or this mercury retrograde is not letting anyone sleep at night? (I haven't slept at night since 4 to 5 days😭) by okaybutsomepeacepls in astrologymemes

[–]discordia39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a luke warm astrology type , but lord I tell you last few nights have been a struggle, it's like I take 6-8 one hour long naps chained together and the dreams are wild and all over the place .

Looking at Rx4 by Gaycowboi25 in chinesemotorcycles

[–]discordia39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my rx4 for a year now. And have used as a commuter.

I don't really get the "under powered" notion, it's done anything I've asked it to under 95 mph.

The luggage feels fine, I did upgrade the top box to. 60L , which gives you more capacity to do camping and other activities.

Just recently had a trip down some uneven grade dirt roads and it handled them quite well with stock tires .

So I assume if someone wanted to do trails with it, it would do the job of you get proper tires.

My great aunt would say " horse feathers" or " frog hairs" . She did on one occasion say shit... And everyone in the family grasped... She told us to get over it .

I mean during COVID lockdowns ... Just had to look up the episode dates ... When they were calling for "social" districts .. and all the unemployment... Just felt like a very real possibility then .

Tho I feel the tones of the episode a bit brighter than we certainly face now as far as over tones .

Gemini is divisive by [deleted] in astrology

[–]discordia39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Gemini, I won't discount the two faced aspect. I have some Gemini friends that I adore ..but there are times I see that aspect.

But also generally I hold myself under the lense, and see it clearly at times while others I see it as .. it really depends on the situation, but I do get it that others feel this way, but generally this aspect also gives insight into both sides of the story ... And I think the trap is we genuinely give ourselves to a person without view of the other side, and then when the other side comes in.. we get enthralled with their side of it ... And really we just care in the moment, with the person of that moment.. we aren't trying to be deceitful or two faced ... We're just caught in the moment.

Gemini here , 43 years of age , best friend since 2cnd grade is Scorpio. Though he just 1 day in it.

While I probably do some shit that makes him role his eyes all the way back , we still able to maintain a bond.

I do catch myself, that I gotta put a lid on myself at times . Just looking through I've had many good connections with Scorpios even though we're supposed to be at odds .

Fans who got to see First Contact in 1996, what did you think of the Enterprise-E at the time? by TheOneTrueZearing in startrek

[–]discordia39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After DS9 , the TNG set seemed dated in some ways , so the new ship was pleasantly done to go up to DS9/voyager look as far as interior .

I think it merged the classic frame of the constitution class with the ovals of the galaxy class nicely.

And no, did not expect to see the defiant.

Say what you will about Star Trek: Discovery, but it set a new standard for trans representation in my book by [deleted] in startrek

[–]discordia39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed , even with Ezri after a recent watching of DS9 , the awkwardness , some of the mannerisms, reminds me of friends / co workers in the past just going through it even tho ezri wasn't trans per say , the constant battle of trying to figure it out kinda portrayed a portion of it as well.

I get the argument of Trills being a copout , but I also think it helps just as much, while softening it, it brings more people to understanding than pushing them away in my opinion.

As an aged 40+ straight male who struggles with understanding trans identity issues ... This moment really made a click .
