I agree. I enjoyed it for what it was. Some characters were kind of annoying too. I started it immediately after finishing Discovery and it was a very welcome change. I still prefer the older shows though.

Starfleet Academy seems like it’s trying to be Harry Potter/Hogwarts. Star Trek Discovery has so much forced drama. Many of the characters are super annoying and in both shows I feel like a sense of professionalism is completely lost. Sure Starfleet isn’t exactly a military organization, but it’s pretty damn close and I just can’t take those shows seriously. I barely made it through Discovery. It was really hard watch. Picard and Strange New Worlds were just OK.

🤮

Taiwan sounds amazing!

All I know is that one is a couch fucker. No clue who the other two losers are.

I agree with this. I love cooking and I’m a man. I do all of the cooking in my household. My fiancee never really learned how and I’d prefer to be the one who cooks anyway. I grew up in a very large family and I was the oldest so I learned a lot of things to help out like housekeeping and cooking. Boys really should learn how to cook. For me, it’s a fun creative outlet. It’s one of my favorite things to do.

What was the joke? Michelob Ultra is my choice for light beer. It just tastes better than the other light alternatives. I’d prefer better beer, but sometimes you have to count your calories.

True, look at all the oligarchs Putin offed to steal their money. Maybe Trump will kill Elon. I hear they aren’t friends anymore.

No worries! That is just the tip of the iceberg for the extremely fucked up childhood my siblings and I had. I’ve mostly made my peace with it, but my siblings still don’t talk to certain parents and I don’t blame them at all. We went through every kind of abuse a child can go through between my dad, mom, and step-dad. I just figured I’d share my experience since I just remembered it happened when I came across that meme.

I definitely get that feeling though. It is comforting to know that you weren’t alone in having had to deal with shitty adults as a child. I think it’s important for everyone to realize that some people should just never have kids regardless of what’s expected of people. My parents definitely should never have had children and I never will myself. I really think unless you are willing to sacrifice your time and freedom and dreams you shouldn’t have kids. Unfortunately, too many parents treat kids as extensions of themselves or accessories to their own life.

You’re right, the more I think about it something definitely could have happened had one of us scraped the money together for a flight. Another reason my mom might have been fine with it is that she was in high-school when she met my dad and he was 10 years older than her. She also let my sisters boyfriend move in when she was still in high-school and he was a lot older than her too so I could definitely see her letting me go. Like I said my parents were not good parents at all.

No it definitely got weird. At least in my case. We talked on the phone a lot and she asked me multiple times to fly out to California to meet her. She even ended up talking to my mom on the phone. I’ll just say my parents aren’t good parents or even good people, but whatever small amount of concern my mom had was gone after that. I was in middle school so there wasn’t any way I could have flown out to meet her so maybe that’s why my parents stopped caring. Regardless, the woman eventually lost interest. At the time I didn’t even realize how weird it was.

Me too, but in Diablo 2. Nothing sexual happened or anything. She lived in California and I lived much further north, but it’s kind of funny/scary that this is a common a occurrence with divorced women and underage boys.

That doesn’t surprise me. My partner sees people she doesn’t know trying to sell drugs on Instagram all the time. They aren’t even a little discreet about it.

Oh I’m aware. I’m just questioning republican MAGA voter’s perception. I’ve worked in construction most of my adult life and even in my childhood I spent much of my time around the real macho old school conservative types. I just don’t understand how anyone who looked up to the classic strongman stereotype of a man can support such an obvious “pansy”. In their eyes the ideal man was strong, silent, honorable, hard working, tough, courageous, the all American cowboy archetype.

Trump is none of those things. This video is just another of many examples of what an absolute pathetic loser he is and yet republicans still continue to allow him to represent them. I’d be embarrassed to be in the same party as him and I’m the furthest thing from a republican. I just don’t get it.

This is the kind of behavior I’d expect of an edgy 12 year old. That weird kid who sat in the back of the class and carved shit into the desk. Is this really the look republican voters want from their representation? I thought they looked up to manly portrayals of men. Men who said little, but exuded strength from their actions. Is this really how they want to be portrayed. It’s just cringey and embarrassing.

He’s going to wait to see if she’ll pay the fee to be pardoned like the rest of the pardons he sold.

I second this. The Steam Deck is the best console and a really cheap gaming PC at the same time. You can emulate and use it for other programs without needing to mod it like you would a console and even though it’s linux, it’s so easy to use. You don’t really need to use the desktop mode for much if you don’t want to, but it’s not bad at all. I’ve switched to Bazzite as my only OS for my main computer because of how much SteamOS has impressed me.

Lately, I’ve only been buying indie games. I can’t justify dropping $70-$80 on one game and even when those games go on sale they’re usually $40-$50.

If you read reviews and do a little research you’ll find that there are actually a lot of really cool indie games and you can get multiple games for just a fraction of the cost of double or triple A games.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. He’s probably extremely insecure that he can’t grow a beard.
