  Without that last image for context, I would have assumed you stick the cork part into your butt and poop spaghetti out the other side.

  Shove a hunk of 2x4 down to the bottom too. Changes an irritating noise to a satisfying thunk.

  If you have humidity problems in your bathroom, get a small electric dehumidifier. They’re less than 30 bucks and they’ll fix it right up.

  Hold for me and call screening on the pixel is amazing. It’s so much better than any other feature available on any other phone.

  I’ve been on Lemmy too much today. I read Constipation as Capitalism.

  Unfortunately, I’ve run into plenty of sites that won’t accept subdomain email addresses.

  Imagine how bad he’d look if he wasn’t.

  Yes. And the characters. They have depth, and it feels like you know them, which makes putting lgbtq and neurodivergent characters on the screen that much better. I understand their motivations, and i’m autistic so that’s a real accomplishment.

  I’m not caught up on all the shows, because i don’t always have the energy for the active watching that something like Picard warrants, but they’ve managed to make even something as silly as lower decks have character development, depth, and add a completely different view of starfleet. Like, the whole chest alien conspiracy from TNG isn’t so wild when you see that there’s a wide range of people in starfleet that’s not so obvious from following around their absolute best and brightest.

  I wasn’t a fan of discovery at first, but by the time Pike and Spock came in it was obvious they had gotten some people involved who cared about the universe. I feel like it has recontextualized TOS, and added a lot of depth to the characters we’ve known for the longest time. And they’ve done a fantastic job of making the shows intelligible to new people, while adding heaps of depth, backstory and context for the rest of us with the simplest things, like Picard holding his flute at the beginning of season 3.

  People can completely ignore the new stuff if they like, but I like that they’re taking some risks. The alternative is what we got with the last star wars trilogy. Perfect casting, fantastic acting, excellent world building, and a story that meandered, found the safest route, and ended up not leaving much of its own mark. Or anyway, that was my opinion.

  Facts and memes. A wonderful combination.
