Sadly, Hank is exactly the type of person to do that. The details he shares about his lawn care show that he’s all about artificially tweaking variables and removing uncontrolled factors. This should be Bobby lecturing Hank about his industrialized and unsustainable landscaping practices.

If you think you’re struggling for enthusiasm now, just wait until you start watching it.
- Comment on Palworld CEO says “many” clones of Pokémon-with-guns game are coming, with “Genshin Impact-level” successors 8 months ago:
Good. No shade on Pocket Pair, they’ve obviously done something that resonates, but imo while Palworld suffers a bit from borrowing too heavily from Pokemon, the real issue is that it borrows too much from Ark. I’d like to see a similar concept executed with an updated interface, crafting system, and progression system. Ark is fine for what it is, but it’s ten years old and Palworld didn’t really make any improvements over the basic structure. It makes sense that they built it the way they did, given that their MO is taking existing component parts and putting them together, rather than designing from the ground up, but I’d like to see a dev team take the same concept and be more intentional about it. There’s a lot that could be done to improve quality of life and create an overall smoother experience, even just by implementing current best-in-class features.

Anthropologists discover evidence of ancient subspecies of humans with gigantic, goose-like penises.
- Comment on PROOF 8 months ago:
Are there any flat-moon conspiracy theorists? I feel like there’s way more evidence that the moon is flat. We see the same side all the time. If it were round, wouldn’t we see different parts of it? We’re supposed to believe that it’s a spheroid orbiting us at the exact rotational speed required so that the same side is facing us all the time? Be serious.

The actor of captain Picard
Do you honestly not recognize Sir Patrick Stewart? No shade, it’s just wild to think there would be people who don’t recognize him at all, given the length and breadth of his career.
In answer to your question, I can’t speak for Patric Stewart, but my guess is that he chose to play the scene that way because it’s likely that very few people in the Federation smoke, and that’s probably doubly true for people who spend most of their time on a spaceship. My guess would be that Stewart was trying to indicate to the audience that smoking would be somewhat of an anachronism in the 23rd century.

Oof, this might be the thing that gets me to lose myself in a Paradox game.
- Comment on Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse? 1 year ago:
The Orville is a deeply sincere homage made by someone who clearly both loves and understands Star Trek. It is, in many ways, more true to form than some of the recent Trek shows and movies, and it deserves to be considered an honorary part of the franchise. I hope we see more of it.
- Comment on Strange New Worlds continues to rank in the Nielsen US streaming top ten 1 year ago:
Give us full 20+ episode seasons, cowards! I want bottle episodes, slice of life stories, maybe a few two-parters here and there. Star Trek was born as an episodic network tv show meant to run from fall to summer. Let it breathe.
- Comment on What Upstate New York city is Jonathan Archer from? 1 year ago:
I like Bozeman as Zephram Chocoran’s home base because there’s a good chance that Montana might have been spared a direct nuclear strike. Same logic applies to why San Francisco looks so futuristic: it for sure got flattened entirely by a nuke, so they would have had to build it back up from nothing afterwards. I’m guessing the Golden Gate was still partly standing and they rebuilt it for the same reason we keep other historical buildings/monuments around.
No idea if any of that is canon, but if we aren’t overthinking Star Trek then why are we doing any of this?
- Comment on What Upstate New York city is Jonathan Archer from? 1 year ago:
Rick Berman was the executive producer on Enterprise. Given that he was born-and-raised in New York City, it’s possible that the answer is, like, Westchester.

My apologies, I assumed 1 and 4 were about treatment of other users, rather than more broadly.
- Comment on Timothy Olyphant Reveals Why He Didn’t Get The Role Of James T. Kirk In ‘Star Trek’ Films 1 year ago:
He would have been wasted on the NuTrek films. He’d have killed it, stolen every scene, spiked the ball in the end zone and done a little dance, but Abrams and Kurtzman and the rest of those hacks don’t deserve him.

I’m certain there’s a pun to be made here involving “ass” and “galaxy class” but it would be vulgar and I’ll not be the one to make it.
