Magisk twice is killing me.

soupçon

thanks for the new fancy word!

I think I read this article too. It makes sense in a way.

What explains the connection between Hooters waitresses and young gay men? Perhaps these women — so often stigmatized as almost sex workers, so accustomed to society’s sidelong glances — see kindred spirits in the boys who aren’t quite “right.” Or maybe it’s simpler: a waitress’s knack for reading a room, turned tender for those who need it most.

Pre-Federation weapons were nothing to shake a stick at either lol.

Trip: You did all this with one phase pistol?

Reed: You’re good at building things, I’m good at blowing them up.

My understanding is this. Let’s say Valve accepted crypto payments. If they did, they wouldn’t need to go through middlemen payment processors like Visa and Mastercard that can use their influence to dictate what games can and can’t be published on Steam.

But yeah the way it works in practice seems to make crypto a commodity, not a currency.

Why exactly are they targeting a non-governing member of the alliance?

not a damn clue tbh

hmmm who would shoot blue goo out of their forehead?

I still think it’s kinda funny that transporters were only written in because they couldn’t afford a shuttle in TOS season 1 then they became so iconic. I wonder what trek would be like if they’d only ever had shuttles.

man, somewhere around here i have hardback copies of the prequel trilogy his son wrote from frank herbert’s notes. i don’t remember if they’re any good but that was my introduction to dune back in high school.

yeah, the mid-ventral butt opening

lmao i misread that as garbage ready, especially given it was next to a dumpster.

according to this comic, does it make it okay if you pirate everything so that there’s no financial transaction involved?

edit i guess i should state: i dont fuck with harry potter stuff. it was just something i thought of. i’m more of a wizards in space kinda guy (sci fi lol)

I bet you they just automatically lump in all the data from those old plagiarism detectors schools used to use before “ai detectors” became the thing.

you have to acknowledge the other person first, then you can jump into your story. otherwise it comes off as self-centered instead.

I’d rather snort cocaine right in front of the MEPS people and end up in prison than ever fight for this bastard.

You have to soak them in the soda then suck out the flavor like a popsicle stick.

Naw. It was originally written for Kirk and Uhura, but when the NBC executives found out they were worried it would offend TV stations in the south. The idea of having Uhura and Spock kiss was brought up because Spock is half-vulcan (which NBC thought racists would find less offensive???), but Shatner insisted that they stick the original script (perhaps out of ego, perhaps out of artistic integrity, who knows). Eventually NBC ordered that two versions of the scene be shot - one with the kiss and one without. Shatner intentionally flubbed every single take of the non-kiss version to force the executives’ hands. It wasn’t the first interracial kiss on televion, but it was the first instance of a scripted kiss between a white man and a black woman.
