Too busy doing important stuff, like taking children away from their parents

They do, probably more than is healthy.

What’s it like to play? Interested parties want to know!

7of9, 6 months ago

Hum … an android play-by-post version is just begging to be made!

When I was at school I used to enjoy playing oversize 3D tic-tac-toe, I imagine this could be similarly anarchic

7of9, 6 months ago

I don’t know, I’ve never played online

I’m not a fan of queens, however you and your opponent should go on a horse riding experience day together to remind you that the horsey is clearly the superior piece to choose.

Hey, my wife and her sister moved away about 12 years ago … it was absolutely the right thing for both of them.

Anyone even halfway intelligent is better off moving away from Hungary. I feel sorry for those who can’t speak a foreign language and thus are stuck there.

You didn’t mention, but they have a good line in scapegoating LGBT people too. They follow Russia as close as possible on that front.

My first salaried job was also my first proper IT job and I was a “junior technician” … the only other member of IT staff was my supervisor who had been a secretary that got a 1 week sysadmin course and knew very little.

The server room was a complete rat’s nest and I resolved to sort it out. It was all going very well until I tripped over the loose SCSI 3 cable between the AIX server and it’s raid array. While it was in use.

It took me 2 days to restore everything from tape. My supervisor was completely useless.

A few months later I was “made redundant”, leaving behind me everything working perfectly and a super tidy server room. I got calls from the company asking for help for the following 6 months, which I politely declined.

Yeah, I got laid off twice more before switching careers. Both times they wanted me to come back and fix stuff after letting me go.

It goes hand in hand with the “if someone works hard, they should be given more work as a reward” line of thinking.

I didn’t have them over a barrel, they were just being lazy and trying to exploit me further for free.

7of9, 6 months ago

Yep, I remember in one job I was at for 8 years a manager 2 levels up complemented me for sorting out the networking for a re-arrange of our own office … I was gobsmacked because I’d been managing a whole network and server upgrade for a client that involved well over 1000 users at the time yet an hour of fiddling with wires under desks was the only thing that got his attention.

Thanks, I’ll give this one the chop!

How do you feel about Tenet?

7of9, 6 months ago

I loved the original, when I had only seen the TV cut which doesn’t include the protagonist committing rape. I’ve seen the full version all of once and that just broke it for me.

I have the sequel on my to-watch list, but will be starting it off in a guarded manner.

7of9, 6 months ago

Fair enough, it just outdoes any dissonance between T1 and T2 by a factor of 10, hence being curious about your thoughts ;-)

7of9, 6 months ago

Yes, that’s more “me” … I only do a little light assimilating on the weekends.

7of9, 6 months ago

It is pleasing to see my culture represented in popular media. You may continue.

The problem arises when a cartoonist takes on something serious. It puts those two compartments together and rips out your heart, like First Dog on the Moon did today.

7of9, 6 months ago

I really enjoyed the first two seasons, the third was ok with some good bits in it.

7of9, 6 months ago

Under Decks, like Lower Decks but lower, lower, lower, TOO LOW, lower.

7of9, 6 months ago

That’s fantastic, I would love to see a Trek / Pigs In Space crossover

7of9, 6 months ago

The more I think about it, yes it would be a lot of fun!

7of9, 6 months ago

Why? If anything the risk goes up.

7of9, 6 months ago

Or the duplicate crew and ship made it back and he was the only original member of the crew

7of9, 6 months ago

So that’s what it stands for, Love Gay Bacon, Thanks!

There’s also an episode where Quark undergoes gender reassignment in order to close a deal, which is played for laughs and includes lines about women being sensitive because of their hormones. It sticks out because it’s just horrible, while she show is generally good.

Mash and Allo Allo both have no shortage of jokes about cross-dressing and plenty of casual sexism. Fawlty Towers … is also a product of it’s time, any good parts get outweighed by the bad parts.

Klinger wants to get classified as crazy by wearing dresses, which implies that wearing different clothes is a sign of mental illness. Herr Flick gets sexual gratification from wearing women’s clothes, thus implying that wearing different clothes is something only a sexual deviant would do. Both of these stereotypes continue to be used to harm Trans women.

That’s the motivations of the character, he was in a dress in a comedy so that people could laugh at him.

7of9, 6 months ago

They were both in their respective shows so that people could laugh at them, not with them.

Call me Tasha 'cause I’m posting this reply on Android!

Every world has the equivalent of Trump supporters, I guess

The Borg became a metaphor for colonialism, I think, with assimilation being an “improvement” for it’s victims.

7of9, 6 months ago

Very much on-brand that while the federation have lots of fancy comfy chairs, Quark just went to Ikea

When coffee fails to appear, the only solution is violence.

7of9, 6 months ago

Right after First Contact and The Wrath of Khan, yes.

7of9, 6 months ago

Good point, at worst it ranks about equally with Galaxy Quest for me … Sigourney Weaver weights my ranking a lot though

7of9, 6 months ago

Does anyone have the original artwork?

I un-ironically like it.

7of9, 6 months ago

Thanks, I saw the other post but didn’t know if that was the original!

7of9, 6 months ago

If you replicate a Moog does that make it a synth synth?

7of9, 6 months ago

My partner works with them, they seem like a good bunch. Fingers crossed it goes well, collaborative internet should be the future.

7of9, 6 months ago

That is not true.

7of9, 6 months ago

I would like something halfway between Snowrunner and European Truck Simulator, with a well written single player RPG story mode where you get to help people by delivering stuff.

Or, something like Breath of the Wild only without fighting.

Or both.

7of9, 6 months ago

I’d like to try it, but I don’t have a supported device yet … I’ve played at least one indie game with a similar feel and really enjoyed it, but it was short and simple so I didn’t get lost in the world

7of9, 6 months ago

AER: Memories of old

It’s fun, you play as a woman who can turn into a bird and have to explore, solve basic puzzles, and there’s a good story. It’s just short and simple.

7of9, 6 months ago

If you say so, I watched an early trailer for Death Stranding and haven’t paid it any attention since I’m not keen on games with combat.

No, they cured his boneitis
