Who doesn't love CNC CBT?

Pets don't get medals!

Except...

Apparently dogs DO get medals, but Chewie gets passed over. Chewbacca has sub-pet status.

Came here for this. I enjoy all three flavors of Mint, personally. XFCE is probably one of the best "lightweight" distros put there and rarely gets mentioned. Cinnamon is perfect for anyone looking for a more user-friendly Ubuntu derivative, and LMDE is probably the most approachable Debian distro out there.

Mint is a great starter distro for just about everybody.

I can understand why you might feel that way, as I did use some generalities. I don't take issue with people of faith, being one myself. I take issue with bigots, idolaters and hypocrites who pay lip service to their "faith" while using cherry picked and deliberate misquotes of scripture to harm others. Especially when those same people can rarely ever directly quote any of Jesus' direct commandments. They sure can quote Paul, though.

This conclusion has nothing to do with the internet. It comes from having to live with these people. It comes from having their vitriol literally screamed in my face. The internet is somehow more sane than the reality I have to live in most days.

I've said this 1,000 times, and I'll repeat it as often as I need to.

The Left is arguing Human Rights. The Right is arguing Property Rights. Conservative values are very clear that women are not seen as independent individuals, but as property of their fathers and then their husbands. Women are chattel. This mentality permeates and pervades every aspect of Conservative ideology where women are concerned. Men must protect women. Not because it benefits the woman, though they will tell women that they should be grateful for the protection. Men must protect their property, they must protect their investment in that woman. It's important to understand that Conservatives view all non-white, non-male, queer, and non-Conservatives as inherently inferior, requiring their guidance and control to conform to their superior ideology, or extermination if they refuse.

View everything they say and do through that lens, and everything makes perfect sense.

Breaking news: "Nazi apologists create Gestapo." Who could have seen that coming?

Spock in the Warp Core - Tamarian version of "The needs of the many..."

Kirk, his voice broken - An uncharacteristic display of emotion.

This might be the best Trekkified variant of this meme. Love it.

Oh, look. The party of Nazi apologists is passing laws to make their own Gestapo. But everyone comparing them to Nazis are the real problem.

I'm pretty sure the first time we hear them say human in Last Outpost, it's pronounced "hoomahn".

The Glaive really should have become every bit as iconic as lightsabers and bat'leths.

Fried? Gagh is best served alive. There is no honor in consuming dead gagh!

To me, the expectation to "read the room" is like expecting me to read Braille with no training. It's trying to use one sense to do something another sense ordinarily does, in a way that I lack the physical sensitivity to do properly. Sure, I might be able to eventually suss out some meaning, but it's just as likely to be coincidence as legitimate understanding.

Really? I loved the BattleArmor/Elementals and other vehicles. I had a blast playing MA2 with my friends.

It's been too long since I've played. I haven't played since they announced they were abandoning console players. Maybe I'll return, but I'm never spending another cent on an Fdev product, so I guess I play on Xbox until they let the server collapse.

Which ship is that? Looks like a Fed fighter.

Agreed. For a show that started out as just a parody, it pretty quickly developed into a spiritual spin-off.

Sometimes I wonder if Galaxy Quest didn't understand Trek better than some actual Trek shows?

Dude... try rural Illinois. The only internet I can get faster than 3mbps is cellular hotspot, and that's supposed to be 5G but is usually actually 4G out here. That's it. I can get dial-up, DSL, cable that is somehow slower than DSL and constantly disconnects, or hotspot from AT&T.

America is far from the best example of decent internet access if you live more than a few miles from a major urban hub. In fact, in rural areas, your options are not only stupidly limited, but also criminally expensive. For land-based internet at 3mbps where I live costs $6 more per month than my sister-in-law's GB Fiber 20 miles away, and has data caps to boot. It's insane.
