I can speak Thai so I guess I’m okay
- Comment on Scalper economy 3 weeks ago:
That’s a good classification to have.
The apartment I lived in until June this year was my or my friends home for 20 years, but I stayed sick after the new neighbors moved in and started destroying the place. I couldn’t have food anymore because of the rodents, roaches, bedbugs and diseased water that started running down the walls and leaking through the ceiling.

We had a big digital display put in my town and they did that shit and in less than a week it was made illegal because they drafted an ordinance that specifically only affected that building and sign. They could stop it if they weren’t owned by corpos

I’ve never heard of a bowerbird. I googled it and it seems anyone not up on Pacific avians might have the same confusion
- Comment on So this is how my neighbor fixes his fence. 3 weeks ago:
No. You just put the nice part facing the one who paid for it and so you can paint it and keep it looking nice. Let the neighbours have the ugly side. They can build their own fence if they want.

I have absolutely no idea what’s going on here.
Are those supposed to be condoms or trash?
- Comment on So this is how my neighbor fixes his fence. 3 weeks ago:
I know some places have laws or guidelines that tell you to put the flat pretty side facing out, but every fence I’ve ever seen, including the one I’m looking at out the window of this business I’m at now has the flat side facing the property and the ugly side faces out
- Comment on Discovery will be the first Star Trek show in half a century to end without a single Jonathan Frakes appearance 8 months ago:
What? TNG is only 35 years old, so what’s with the 50 years claim?
- Comment on Someone should release Discovery with all the speeches removed 8 months ago:
On the eve of battle, on a cold and windless night, an old general turned to a young soldier.
“Tomorrow,” said the master, “you will know fear.”
The young soldier — who had not yet experienced the agony of war — looked at the general with quizzical eyes, “How will I know fear if I do not know what it looks like?”
The general replied, “You will know fear because it speaks very fast and it speaks very loud…”
“If that is how fear acts, recognizing it is easy.” But as the young soldier considered the general’s advice, she asked the question facing us now, “Once I know Fear, how do I defeat it?”
Even so, I come to ask myself the same question that young soldier asked that general all those years ago: “How do I defeat fear?”
The general’s answer: “the only way to defeat fear is to tell it ‘No’.”
No. We will not take shortcuts on the path to righteousness.
No. We will not break the rules that protect us from our basest instincts.
No. We will not allow desperation to destroy moral authority.
I am guilty of all these things.
Some say that in life there are no second chances; experience tells me that this is true.
We can only look forward. We have to be torch-bearers: casting the light so we may see our path to lasting peace. We will continue exploring, discovering new worlds, new civilisations.
Yes. That is the United Federation of Planets.
Yes. That is Starfleet
Yes. That is who we are
And who we will always be.
