Harris Yulin Gave 'Deep Space Nine' One of Its Greatest Performances
  • I don't know what you're talking about. He's just a simple tailor.

  • I can't tell the difference between the new background colours
  • As a fellow colorblind person, I've always had trouble with these colors. Thank you for saying something about it!

  • Eljira is an Emacs interface into Jira
  • Oh perfect, this is just in time for me to get laid off and not use Jira anymore!

  • does captain Picard snore in Star Trek tng?
  • Someone asked Patrick Stewart about this once, and he said that in the 24th century, no one would care about baldness anymore

  • Robert Picardo Confirms It's Star Trek: Voyager's Doctor In Starfleet Academy
  • It would be cool if we get to hear from the version of the Doctor that was in "Living Witness." I think the timeframe would be about right.

  • Judge Gives Trump Administration 3 Days To Return Her From El Salvador Prison
  • Wish the Onion wasn't out here giving them ideas…

  • Censer activating in shop?
  • I've always dropped the censer before entering shops because I was afraid this would happen

  • Trump Says He Won’t Rule Out Third Reich
  • He's not as bad (yet, at least). But Hitler didn't have access to a gigantic nuclear arsenal, so Trump has the potential to do way more damage

  • Researchers fear the British spoken 'r' is ready to roll away from the last bastion of rhoticity
  • Sensationalist headline-writer: "These researchers are neutrally investigating language change? Let's throw 'fear' in there to get up the prescriptivists' hackles!"

  • What is the purpose of the shadowmeld buff in the garden room?
  • You do gain hunger slower in a garden, so if you have to sleep to heal, it's a better place than just out in the dungeon. Other than that, I find it useful for the assassin to build up turns of preparation without spending cloak charges or potions/scrolls; just remember to turn on your cloak before you leave or it all goes to waste.

  • [DEV] Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.0.0!
  • What does this bit mean?

    The Priest can cast Guiding Light for free once every 100 turns, and can consume the illumination debuff with allies, wands, and some artifacts for bonus damage equal to their level.

  • [DEV] Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.0.0!
  • A lot of the cleric's abilities seem pretty specific. Are you able to use any of them with other heroes with the scroll of metamorphosis?

  • Warp Five: The Lower Decks Cast on the Cerritos' Future
  • A few minutes ago out of nowhere, it suddenly clicked in my brain that I had called "Strange New Worlds" "Brave New World" on here, so I had to come and see people making fun of me. Thank you all for not disappointing 😆

  • Warp Five: The Lower Decks Cast on the Cerritos' Future
  • I don't know how, but I would love to see more of these characters in live action. Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid were fantastic in BNW.

  • Alex Kurtzman Gives Live-Action Comedy Update, Says Star Trek Can “Broaden”
  • Tawny Newsome is awesome, so I'm sure this will be good, but there seems to be a fundamental tension between Kurtzman saying Trek can broaden, while Paramount seems to be trying to contract it.

  • (Bad linguistics) Language change is wrong, actually
  • This is fair. Usually when I hear "prescriptive" I have a knee-jerk reaction to it as something bad because it's usually used to refer to people using made-up rules to enforce systems of oppression rather than fight against them like inclusive language does, but I hadn't thought about it as "prescriptivism for good."

  • The Stars of Star Trek: Section 31 Know Why You're Nervous About the Movie
  • Ironic that the actor who seems to be the biggest Trek fan also played my least favorite character. Zeph was a cartoon.

  • (Bad linguistics) Language change is wrong, actually
  • Using inclusive language isn't linguistic prescriptivism. Prescriptivism is saying "this word is incorrect English/doesn't mean what you are using it for." Inclusive language is saying "if you use this word, you're being a jerk."
