  Captain Pike is a close second in my book. I adore his hair!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was the only one who thought this of Erica Ortega was non-binary or trans?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t, but I’m also a short haired woman who sometimes behaves the way she does and isn’t super girly.

  I just thought she was the hottest person on the bridge of that starship, regardless of gender.

  Yeah, I mean I do feel kind of bad because I’ve flown long enough to see how much smaller the space has gotten. But physical pain overrides any guilt I feel and I will recline the seat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Put your seat back or no?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I put the seat back every single time I am on a flight. I have back issues and I get back pain if I sit upright like that for too long. If the flight attendants are asking to not put a seat back because the person behind me, then I’m going to ask for a new seat because sitting upright for 11 hours is agony.

  Sorry to the tall folks and whatnot, but I’m not flying somewhere just to be stuck in bed for 2 days unable to move because of back pain.

  Horses are never pleased. You arnt giving them enough treats.

  Sounds just like my rabbits with their perpetual frowns. I guess horses and rabbits are more similar than I thought.

  I remember that one, it was the first time I heard of this scenario. It really sucks for folks involved, but it is kind of interesting too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LEARN THE TRUTH⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah! But insects are defined by having 3 body segments: head, thorax, and abdomen. Regardless of the size of each segment, all 3 exist in their adult form. And! All insects have their 6 limbs coming out of their thorax. No record exists of an insect with limbs coming out of their head.

  I’m onto you alien sympathizer 🤨

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LEARN THE TRUTH⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  FALSE!

  If the 6 “limbs” include the specialized limbs on its head, then the Easter Bunny is not an insect because the 6 legs on an insect come out of its thorax.

  This means…the Easter Bunny is an alien! I’m on to you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the deal with people liking old devices?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a millennial in my 40s who is starting to get back into old tech from my late teens to early 20s. So far I have a Nintendo 2DS, New Nintendo 3DS, old cheap phone turned dedicated MP3 player/mobile video device, and a boombox that does CDs, aux, AMFM radio, and has Bluetooth capabilities. The boombox is newer, but still plays CDs. I like having dedicated devices that don’t do everything.

  The old cheap phone is nice because I can load it with music or movies and it saves battery life when I stream on my phone. The DSs are because that is my favorite handheld system and there are a ton of games that you can get for cheap or free. The boombox is because I dragged out all of my old CDs, found a lot of good cheap ones at thrift stores.

  I’m just tired of paying for all the streaming services and owning nothing. So I’m going backwards in time with my tech.

  I do the same with chile relleno whenever I go to a New Mexican restaurant. It’s a meal that is hard to badly fuck it up and even when it’s only pretty ok, it’s still tasty enough to finish.

  I also just love chile relleno so I usually get it anyway

  Last copy I saw went on eBay for $85, I’ve never noticed it lower than $150 before that. My library has it in ebook and audiobook, but I would like a copy of my own. I downloaded one and I still want to support the author so I have no issue with buying it on sale. I will probably buy it and print it out at my library at some point because I do just prefer to read a physical copy of something.

  Thanks for the tips and link!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Starfleet Academy' Deserved Better Than This⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I prefer physical books myself, but I’m always ok to read an ebook if that’s how I can get a story. Do you have a preferred place to get them? There are a few that I would love to own, but a used copy is significantly too expensive.

  I’m looking at you A Stitch in Time by Andrew J. Robinson at over 100 bucks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Starfleet Academy' Deserved Better Than This⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been picking up old ST novels at thrift stores for $1-2. I only have a handful, but the ones I’ve read are pretty good. It’s like reading an extended episode of ST.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So say, someone lives in an English speaking country and wanna see a movie in the threaters but they struggle to understand English, how are they supposed to watch it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re in Philly, there may be something in the Chinatown area, or maybe someone there can give you options so your mom can enjoy a movie out with you. I hope you find a solution.

  That said, you should go see Project Hail Mary, it’s fantastic. Maybe take a friend if you don’t want to go alone, but I’ve gone to movies by myself plenty of times and I would have gone alone to this one if I hadn’t dragged my partner to opening weekend.

  And make sure you don’t just sit there. Get up and walk around because it gets the blood flowing and THC where it needs to go. Doesn’t have to be outside, just stand up and move a bit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta: Shit post on shitpost⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone else mentioned, it’s the lack of fiber in so many US folks diets. When we finally get more fiber than they are used to, they tend to poo a lot. The food itself is fine for fast food.

  I used to eat at Taco Bell on a near daily basis because it was my favorite fast food, cheap, and in the mall I worked in. I have never once had bowel discomfort from the food there. Even now, I ate it a few weeks ago, no problems at all.

  I’ve been intentionally avoiding spoilers and previews, so I had no idea it was coming. It was a really happy surprise for me and that episode was so great.

  I absolutely adore Sam’s smile, just beautiful!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 5x05 "Series Acclimation Mil"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That episode is my favorite one so far. It was such a great homage to DS9 and I loved seeing adult Jake.

  I also super love that they are bringing back the skirt uniform. Jay-Den rocked that outfit! 💚

  For work use I’m #13, except I remove the keyboard, put the laptop in front to use that keyboard, then center the monitors behind it.

  For personal use, I’m #3
