There’s a delightful DC Comics Elseworlds story that amounts to this. It was fun.

Sure you harpsichord! Anyone harpsichord do it!

I don’t think this is the right community for it…

That’s right,

A third person is about to show up and express mild interest, then they will wander off for a drink, but then return and ask to have the rules explanation start over…

“Sometimes when it’s not him, it’s still him!”

I dont have time to build and maintain a curated offline library like I used to.

I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sure the high seas legitimate DRM free music purchases will welcome you back when you have time again.

RIP Renee A. I can always hear his delivery of that final line when I read it.

It’s very eco-conscious. It’s actually made of recycled Jake Sisko vests.

But no, between Archer and Kirk Starfleet must have recruited just the worst of the worst.

All good points.

But I’ve done some mental gymnastics to make it work. We actually know:

And I assume that the same character in my spoiler tag recruited various dysfunctional crew, while Saru recruited those crew that actually perform like Starfleet officers.

So basically, with enough mental hoops, I can assume that only Discovery, itself, is crewed unusually for Starfleet.

Edit: I also feel that Archer’s bring-my-dog-to-work leadership should also shoulder some blame. And Kirk is still a low ranking officer at this point, so we haven’t reached Starfleets prime.

I tolerate continued existence out of a morbid sense of curiosity.

That’s beautiful, in it’s own way.

I felt that way at one point. It led me, eventually, to moments that I later decided mattered very much, to me.

If I hadn’t had that morbid curiosity, I’m not sure I would have made it to those moments I now cherish.

Here’s to morbid curiosity!

It was such a relief, to me. He was interesting and compelling, but his achieving a rank of Captain in Starfleet, and then throwing it away to Mary sue with Burnam, felt silly to me.

The reveal fixes this. Although they could have been more explicit that

Yeah. If you didn’t care for mirror episodes,

Discovery took everything that made Star Trek Star Trek and told it to go fuck itself. I don’t understand how people can like it.

Have you watched past the reveal of Captain Lorca’s past?

The reveal makes many of the very not-Trek first season issues suddenly feel much Trek.

I can see how that reveal might not play well to some. But it worked for me, and helped me forgive a bunch of issues I had with Discovery season 1.

Eh, you can post, but people might just ignore it. So you’re screaming into the void for the most part.

I love this analogy, and I need to expand on it.

Lemmy is like taking a pleasant walk, with mostly chill fellow hikers, through a nature preserve, and then taking turns shouting into an empty canyon.

Sometimes a nice and/or informative discussion follows during the hike back to the lodge for some hot cocoa.

Why can’t you just use a butterfly to manipulate bits like a normal adult?

Sadly, I never learned, and C-x M-c M-butterfly, feels like cheating.

Debian and nano?

I think you might thave invented the Linux version of “straight edge”.

I choose to believe you also have no community package sources enabled, and use only the included Debian themed default desktop backgrounds.

Is openSUSE and Neovim ok?

Excellent choice. You’re going places!

We accept everyone here*

Hmm. That matches my recent napkin math guessing where they would land.

It’s a little short of what they probably need, but they can always raise prices in a few months.
