Why does it have to be just like your sister?

Yeah, only total cunts do that

I dunno, this comes across as the kind of comment a racist pedophile would post, just saying.

Lando Calrissian and the Mindsharp of Sharu is basically Shakespeare

Object-oriented programming is a meme, if you can’t code it in HolyC you don’t need it

Here’s five of my favorites, especially because most of them provide some character lore/development that enhances watching the movies:

The Corbomite Maneuver - Kirk’s captaincy style
Amok Time - Spock lore
Journey to Babel - fun, ethical dilemma episode, introduces Sarek
Let That Be Your Last Battlefield - moral lesson episode, introduces the self-destruct, and I’ve found that modern viewers are fascinated by the fact that racism has become alien and confusing to future humans
The Galileo Seven - character drama, features Spock making survival choices that weigh the needs of the many against the needs of the few

“I’m not a tankie, I just parrot all of their talking points and their weird, myopic rhetorical style.”

What you do is take a screenshot of the desktop, rotate it 180° in MSPaint, set it as the background, hide and move the taskbar, hide desktop icons, and set the screen rotation to landscape flipped in the display settings. You’ll get a desktop that appears normal but can’t be interacted with, and a cursor that moves upside down and backwards. Rotate your victim’s mouse the wrong way around if they’re gullible and they’ll think the mouse messed everything up,

In much the same way roadkill ages better than a roadside piss bottle

It’s The Guardian, they were probably paid to advertise for Threads

RIDF begone

The live-action Hobbit movies are the only movies that have a worse budget-to-quality ratio than Star Wars Episode II

I’ve already run into multiple people on Lemmy who do what I call the Reddit Special:

1. See an opinion you don’t like
2. Intentionally misinterpret the point to mean something else and attack that
3. Support your opinion by arguing backwards from your conclusion
4. Ignore all counterarguments when possible, return to step 2 when not
5. Try to “win” with pithy mic-drop bon mots at the end of your comment
6. Mask upset feelings by trotting out overly slangy 2am Chili style dismissals

For example a conversation I have actually had more than once on Reddit:

Person 1 - “I hate the designated hitter in baseball, it was more fun before, without it”
Person 2 - “Why are you in love with the old days so much? Do you want segregation back too?”
Person 1 - “Are you crazy? I just like it when pitchers bat”
Person 2 - “Lol. Clearly you have issues with being called out on your bigotry”
Person 1 - “You’re not listening, I said I like baseball better when pitchers bat”
Persot 2 - “lmaoooo I don’t listen to racists”

I agree, it is in line with their image, their image being “phony progressive platitudes on top of bog-standard corpro shit”. It’s pretty rich for B&J to be sanctimonious about stolen land when they also do a shitload of business in Russia, which is currently attempting to steal even more land and is murdering every Ukrainian civilan they possibly can in the process. They sued their own parent company for allowing a licensee to sell B&J ice cream in the West Bank—not a word now. The fact that Ben has donated over a million dollars to a political action group that sought to stop the U.S. from arming Ukraine is technically a coincidence considering he no longer works there, but their public stance is just as bad. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re also super into Greenpeace and Tienanmen Square Truthing.

"Dear diary, "

Diversity that seems natural to the plot and diversity that seems to be the plot are treated very differently by different kinds of fans. The former seems to be well received even by people that aren’t huge fans of diversity. The latter seems to be grating on a large number of fans.

I actually really like social commentary, I don’t like tired, hamfisted, and insultingly performative puppet shows of social commentary. STD gave me vibes that a boardroom full of old white guys in expensive suits had a conference call with the writers that went something like “market research says progressive bullshit sells well to our target demographic, so I want 24 scripts about being ethnic or queer or something on my desk by morning. Make sure you really spell it out, too, the [slur]s are fucking stupid to get it otherwise.”

busy filming Vampire Academy

Reminds me of Denise Crosby leaving TNG to go star in such blockbusters as Relative Fear and Mutant Species
