editor's note: I considered adding the debut of the infamous 'decon' scene, for the absurdity. But as drunk as they had to be, it didn't seem like something that should be recognized.

Author: I made this really interesting character with a unique backstory and whom you're gonna wanna adventure with

Reader: wow, that sounds fun, what sort of one of a kind, new stories are you gonna tell with them?

Author: none I'm gonna kill them before exploring any of their premise! Isn't that so exciting and dramatic?

Reader: ...

Omg, the Boys of chose one of my suggestions for a square of the new ! (Recognizing that I mightn’t’ve been the only one to suggest it.)

I don’t blame them for passing on Trip’s Challenge (a keg stand before the episode).

FoD's, we can't leave Discovery without answers! We've got a question for you for the upcoming Disco Retrospective episode: FMK Disco Villains: Harry Mudd, Captain Lorca, and Control?

@GreatestTrek Gotta kill control. If you don't its gonna kill you. Marry Mudd? But he's definitely not sticking around, so get a prenup. Fuck Lorca. No one fucks like crazy.

Is this a multiverse traveler trapped between two portals, or just a really creepy doll next to some mirrors being discarded?

Someone in Brazil just tried (and failed) to brute-force my password utility account. Good times.

@mikey@friendsofdesoto.social avatar

@howiecohen Always a little unsettling to get those messages.

I get them frequently for my largely dormant f-book account, as another scammer tries to find their way into taking my account over. They don't realize that despite my inattention, I have it fairly locked down.

mikey,
@mikey@friendsofdesoto.social avatar

@howiecohen Oof. That is the worst. I hope you didn't have any lingering effects from that.
It sucks that it's such a frequent occurrence we're all just used to it at this point. It's not where we should be in the levels of acceptable loss...

The AI hype sometimes reminds me of 1970s foods.

People actually thought dishes like “Avocado Jelly Waldorf with Mayonnaise” were decent and a good idea.

@elithebearded @KanaMauna @thomasfuchs FWIW there are vegan marshmallows. They aren't perfect, but they aren't bad. They use agar as the base instead of gelatin.

mikey,
@mikey@friendsofdesoto.social avatar

@elithebearded @KanaMauna @thomasfuchs We use them as we are a vegetarian family. They are fine. They aren't quite the same texture; a little softer and stickier. Also their shelf life is a little short. But they work fine for most purposes you'd want a marshmallow for.

@virtualbri It might be the video size maybe. Just spit balling, but normally there's a caching and preview generation done by sidekick. I don't think it can do it to a video that large. Or if it can, it may take it a long time to chew on it due to the file length.

Oh lawd, I've got to bite the bullet and start rewatching Star Trek Enterprise, now Greatest Generation podcast has finished Voyager and is about to start on Trek's red-headed stepchild. I mean I don't have to watch, but the pod is better if you've seen the episode they're discussing. The things I do for @GreatestTrek

mikey,
@mikey@friendsofdesoto.social avatar

@NickGates @beecycling @GreatestTrek It's a real mixed bag. I feel like it had some of the most potential, especially by season 4. But also I think the series is where the misogyny of the producers and the creep factor of their ideas become the most apparent. They pot some serious plants and get out some awkward gel cans. It. Gets. Awkward.
But I was still sad to see it go because a lot of the characters had stories worth telling, and the time they were entering was suppose to be epic.

@beecycling @NickGates @GreatestTrek Well. Same show runners. Same failings, unfortunately

@forgottrek It was fun that they called back the Catholic Marines. I had forgotten about them, it had been so long since wee saw them last.

I also enjoyed the crux of the plot, which I won't spoil since I didn't CW this.

Does anybody (eg @GreatestTrek) know if Ben and Adam will watch ENT's Broken Bow as one episode or (snickers) broken apart into two?

(I have it as two eps recorded and that means I would have to skip the damn song twice... )

mikey,
@mikey@friendsofdesoto.social avatar

@42402dot7 @GreatestTrek I haven't heard anything but I would lay odds based on past EPs that they do the whole thing in one go. Maybe we'll get clarification before you have to hear long road twice...

EXCELLENT RE-POD: just watched the streaming — it wasn’t the same as the boston show i attended, but was excellent in its own unique la-specific way.

bring on !

@Taotica @virtualbri @Painter_Local I can't say I've done it enough to be certain. The few times I've purchased things from the EU the biggest hit usually was in shipping. Its not terrible, but when you're buying small items it can easily be as much as the item itself.

was amazing, I thought was alright but not my thing.

mikey,

@forgottrek Yeah. I am looking forward to seeing where they take this. It is just a very different feel. It's like driving a new car and you kinda know how, but it feels like nothing is quite the same, and you gotta get used to how it handles and where everything is.
