I mean, that’s who they cater to…

My daughter begged us for a year to take her to a place called the Sugar Factory. It has really fancy and overpriced milkshakes. So we finally relented. They have the monstrosity below for $150.

What is the fucking point? Honestly?

I can’t speak for how that tastes because we weren’t willing to pay for food there, but the drinks (my wife and daughter got milkshakes, I got an appletini) were not good. Fun to look at, but pretty mediocre. I’m guessing the burger is more of the same.

But my daughter felt it was worth the experience.

Bah. Our ornament celebrates the true spirit of Christmas:

When you push the button, the fight music plays. For like a full minute. It’s amazing.

I got it in a Hallmark store probably 25 years ago.

Federate the Dominion? Are you joking?

And he has a massive ego, hence the ‘God damn I look good.’

Also, Andromeda was marginally acceptable in Season 1 and awful for the rest.

But I suppose we have Gene to thank for it, just like Star Trek.

There’s a fun documentary called How William Shatner Changed the World about all the scientists and inventors who have been inspired by Star Trek.

Yeah, but DaystromInstitute kind of sucked. They didn’t have enough of a sense of humor. It didn’t need to be Risa, but they took themselves way too seriously.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not saying they should have all been jokes and memes, I’m saying they were a little too “everything must stick to a canon that isn’t especially coherent sometimes.”

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, not the best, but still a really fun documentary.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Nah. No way would someone choose to make this reality a holodeck program.

Oh god, we’re stuck in the last episode of Enterprise.

While we’re talking about that episode, I don’t think Pulaski gets enough credit for pulling off that Victorian look like a boss.

With any luck considering they apparently changed everything for the better.

I’m 46. I did nothing for my birthday this year but get Indian food (which also get other times of the year). I think my wife got me some sort of not very expensive present, but I don’t remember what it was. I’ve also been married for 23 years. I don’t remember the last time we did something special or even gave each other gifts on our anniversary. This year, we spent it in a car driving to Niagara Falls for a family vacation.

We just don’t give much of a shit anymore.

FlyingSquid,

Sure, but it was just such an unnecessary end line to make it an unnecessary twist ending.

Also, if it’s a parallel to Earth, I guess we’re supposed to assume that the Christian underclass eventually takes over and are just as bad as the formerly pagan Romans they added into their fold.

What is even going on here?

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I guess I didn’t make the connection in my head, but if it works for you, it works!

Sadly, there’s still a giant carving honoring the Confederacy on a big cliff in Atlanta for all to see. 90 feet tall. And it was definitely part of their heritage because it was completed in… 1972.

If there was ever a good reason for the invention of dynamite…

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I really want those to be a real product, but based on my searching, it’s a fake. Which saddens me.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

What do you mean?

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I have those glasses. They break every so often and then we replace them, which is cheap to do on eBay. Taco Bell must have made millions.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

That first someone would be me and if there’s a ton of lead and cadmium in them, we’re already way fucked.

If you ever wanted to know how much William Shatner really loves William Shatner, Star Trek V should give you a big clue.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, but the Enterprise apparently has like 300 decks.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Doctor Who doesn’t have a stethoscope!

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

And a fez. Fezes are cool.

I wouldn’t even use the word improv. Movie fight scenes are heavily choreographed and usually only one hit is shot at a time anyway.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, gotcha. Thanks.

(Apologies if anyone here saw me tell this story before.) I worked at a video arcade during Christmas in the 90s. I worked every single day, at least 8 hours a day- never got overtime either, but that’s another story- they had a VHS tape they got from the company every month that had music videos, cartoons, etc. on it. It was on a 1-hour loop. That was the year All I Want For Christmas Is You came out. I literally heard it hundreds of times that month.

I want Mariah Carey to die of an extremely painful rectal prolapse. Like the whole intestinal system just flies right out her ass and she dies horribly. That’s how much I hate her because of that song.
