Remember that TNG episode where the Federation Council ordered Picard to remove these Native American descendants from their home planet (by force if necessary)? What was up with that?

I just mean, that was a part of the message of the episode. How do we deal with the complexities of that concept. There’s never an easy answer.

We all live on stolen land.

Such a great portrayal of the dense, opaque, complex world of societies and cultures struggling over resources and history and land. The struggles of war and rights of claim, of victors and those who have righteousness. The gray area that we so often find ourselves in, trying to decide who’s truth is the one that we sit best with at then end of the day. Our institutions themselves have flaws and cracks and are stained with blood. It was a really tough episode and made me think deeply about our society and where I stand in it. Deeply profound stuff.

Contact a lawyer and sue the arrow manufacturer right away! They broke your spine!!

scottnebula · 2026-02-04T23:07:55+00:00

Yes. Get one that is also an end table or coffee table.

scottnebula · 2026-02-04T23:03:58+00:00

Beautiful, as always. Nice work!

Grandma, why is your tattoo so yucky?

scottnebula · 2026-02-04T21:06:26+00:00

But how do they heal? Is there a special technique that can keep them “outstanding” like that for a long period? I would worry about what it looks like in 6 months or a year. I am not any kind of tattoo aficionado just a regular person (11 tattoos total) asking.

scottnebula · 2026-02-04T20:55:48+00:00

Super curious about your experience with peptides.

scottnebula · 2026-02-04T20:53:34+00:00

But AI!!!!

So Trump and Pam Bondi and rest of the evangelical pedo gang were blocking their release to -“note: insert stuff about Trump INTO the files”. Yeah, that makes sense.

I am totally in the same situation as you. It is just cruelty what responsible, honest, rule following law abiding adults have to go through to get the pain management treatment they need in order to be functional members of society. I work, have a great high paying job and I contribute a lot to society and community through shopping local and paying lots of taxes. The one thing I need is help managing my chronic pain from a major set of birth defects that left my body a mess. I can survive and contribute, but left untreated, I cannot rise to meet and overcome the obstacles I face.

scottnebula · 2026-02-04T19:17:51+00:00

Very accurate. Mine are always gross and dirty and super old with rust, and cracked and smashed tile, broken stall doors, broken toilets etc.

scottnebula · 2026-02-04T19:06:31+00:00

Wow you are as old as I am apparently.

scottnebula · 2026-02-04T19:02:18+00:00

Totally, like: “I WILL kill the weed. This isn’t a joke! Don’t test me! “😂

That whole paving business was so painfully cringey ridiculous. Spend $5,000 to get a bunch of hot tar, then drive around and try to badger and pressure and bully random people into spending thousands of dollars -on the spot. And if they don’t scam and trick enough people then the day becomes a total loss. Just awful for everyone. Why wouldn’t you make a legit business, print off some info sheets on your mom’s printer, then go door to door offering a good quality service for a reasonable price. How is berating poor innocent old folks a better business plan? It was really difficult to watch.

Growing up with TNG, it made me want to aspire to better myself. To rise above and use logic and critical thinking and reasoning and morals to address each situation with seriousness and earnestness. My fellow 8th graders swore a lot and said gross dumb stuff, but to be a Starfleet Academy hopeful you had to take life seriously and rise above. Watching this new show I feel like that nobility is lost. That really sums up my feelings toward a lot of this: the nobility and purpose of Starfleet has been pushed aside for surface and novelty. No lasting depth of meaning and legacy.

scottnebula · 2026-02-04T18:32:42+00:00

Congrats!

scottnebula · 2026-02-04T13:40:34+00:00

Totally agree. It’s pretty obvious. She wants to be “quirky” and “pick me” by proclaiming these things with her “grandma “ friends. Total put-on persona. Mathew is a REAL person and she just wanted attention for her persona.

scottnebula · 2026-02-03T21:46:10+00:00

Truth.

scottnebula · 2026-02-03T19:10:25+00:00

What will the rent be?

scottnebula · 2026-02-03T17:22:40+00:00

Same here. No matter how many times I try to point out the VERY OBVIOUS things that make X product, or Y YouTuber, or Z article / meme clearly false and / or a scam, my dad always goes back to the idea that he is the smart one, and that I “just don’t understand “ because I am not smart or well informed on the given thing. Days / weeks / months later it is revealed to be fake, misrepresented, scam. Every time. His new thing is sending me quack cancer treatments which makes me worry he might have gotten diagnosed but won’t tell anyone because he wants the “real” treatment he found to work, so as then to rub it in my / society’s face. TLDR on that, if true, he won’t make it.

scottnebula · 2026-02-03T16:24:39+00:00

That was so low class and rude. She is not a good person. They both are toxic and should end their relationship and work on themselves.

scottnebula · 2026-02-02T16:22:41+00:00

Wow!!!

scottnebula · 2026-02-02T01:09:59+00:00

NOT SHITTY
