• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Star Trek Day! What was your first contact?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dad liked Star Trek so I watched with him since I was 3 or 4 years old. I became a much bigger fan when I had a job with odd hours and watched DS9 reruns at night in the mid 90s.

  I went to a bunch of shows in the 80s and 90s for $20-25. I rarely go anymore, the prices are out of hand.

  Honestly not sure. I don’t watch a whole lot of animation these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  White/peach is the universally accepted default for drawn or animated people in general, not emojis. Simpsons yellow is what they use for white people. It’s still using white person color for the default.

  Most white people expect peach color/white to be the universally accepted default and everyone should just not think about it because they themselves rarely have to think about representation.

  White people in majority white countries rarely experience lack of representation so they don’t think its a big deal.

  If medium brown was the default lots of people would be losing their minds with rage and y’all know it.

  RIP. He was a standout in anything he was in.

  Homicide was one of the best shows from the 90s and he was the best actor on the show.

  Filth has been on my watch list for a while. Now it’s getting pushed to the top.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HBO Max is removing features from my plan without reducing my price.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sad thing is, I read it in a book from the 1930s and I don’t think it was new back then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HBO Max is removing features from my plan without reducing my price.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  People often have a hard time understanding things when their paycheck depends on them not understanding those things.

  No… Idon’t think that I will.

  I saw these last two price increases coming when they dropped a billion dollars on the Lord of the Rings show and then again when the show got mediocre reviews and low viewing numbers.

  When my student discount for Prime is over I’m canceling. This is the last straw.
