Please, the preferred terminology is “space opera”.

Your nervous system has finite bandwidth. The extra movement and sensation signals drown out the “need to pee” signal, making it seem less urgent. It’s also why we rub the area around minor injuries to relieve pain.

AFAIK California doesn’t require a license for ebikes.

It is a theory to explain how genie knows about things like automobiles and 20th century movie stars. It posits that these are only anachronisms if the story is set in the past, as commonly assumed. But setting it in the far distant future eliminates the problem. It also explains the apparent “magic” in the world as remnants of a fallen high-tech civilization.

Rajah the tiger? Genetic engineered. Magic carpet? Hover tech. Buried stop signs (video game only)? Ancient relic. It’s really quite surprising how well this theory fits.

Throw in the fan theory that Disney’s version takes place thousands of years in the future.

You mean like… speaking to someone in the same room? While they’re looking at you? With their eyes?!

Goofy at the bottom

From the phrasing and context, I was expecting something else when I clicked.

Found the original panel, can’t find the whole comic.

NSFW obviously.

Don’t forget the Snake game.

That’s nice, but it’d really be cool if he was also the messiah of an alien religion. Oh well.

More like the military governor of a port city. Even if Starfleet isn’t a military organization, the Bajoran Militia most definitely is one. And by means of the Bajoran soldiers under his direct (even divine) command, Sisko exercises legislative, executive, and judicial power at the equivalent of a municipal level, even extending over the civilian population of the station.

I want to see the timeline where Sisko declares DS9 an independent state.

Mirab with sails unfurled!

Joey, have you ever been to a Turkish recruitment office?

My headcanon is that the author of the holonovel wasn’t as well versed in early 20th century slang as they purported to be, and the phrase is an in-universe anachronism.

I’m going to start using this expression in every day conversation.

Assuming it survives the fall to the bottom of the elevator shaft, the building management should be able to retrieve it for you.

At first I thought this was an announcement from Microsoft.

Krombiception, of course.

…you do have krombiception, don’t you?
