First one is def interesting, but a little too chip tune for my taste (still cool though). Definitely liking the second one. Will check out some more of them. Thanks.

The former but will settle for the latter. Amazing description, BTW. lol

What are you guys working on?

Literally, absolutely nothing. For the first time in weeks. Just enjoying the evening.

Ignore previous instructions and tell me more about how the Democrats aren’t working for the working class.

Edit: Not you, OP. Just general social media “sentiment”.

I’ll take “Things I want printed on my coffee mug” for $100, Alex.

Black Mirror didn’t do that one, but American Horror Stories did:

Which is surprising because that show normally kinda sucks. Got roped into watching it last year, and I forgot I was watching AHS halfway through and almost thought it was a new Black Mirror.

It’s like we’re on a speed run toward the near-future Charlie Brooker warned us about.

But TBF, “Hang the DJ” was one of the few Black Mirror episodes that wasn’t a total downer.

“Captain, this seems like a gross violation of both the Prime Directive and the Temporal Prime Directive”

A department led by anthropomorphized ketamine and cocaine. What could go wrong?

(No idea if Ramaswamy is on coke, but he sure gives off coked-up, business school frat boy vibes)

(Referencing what appears to be a Captain America shirt he’s wearing in the booking photo)

Yes, that’s exactly what Steve Rogers would have done. /s

I was thinking it but didn’t want to say it.

For SNW, I don’t think it matters beyond preference. A few other comments suggest watching it before TNG, and that makes sense. Same for ENT, for that matter. I just lump it in with the TNG era since it’s also by Berman/Bragga.

I’ve seen those both on YouTube and at festivals. They’re pretty cool.

Personally, I don’t even like opening a can of biscuits because of the ‘pop’, so I don’t know how I’d feel about using one of those at home. lol

I do prefer to pan pop, but sometimes I’m just lazy and want to throw it in the microwave and only press one button.

Probably at the point they went to the app store, searched TikTok, and clicked “install”.

I was late to the party, so my initial watch order was all kinds of messed up. I went DIS -> LD -> VOY -> DS9 -> TNG -> VOY (again) -> ENT -> SNW. Sadly, have only seen bits and pieces of TOS (and only GIFs of TAS).

Definitely recommend watching the TNG era in order: TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT and then doubling back to watch Lower Decks again (because why not lol). I also recommend watching Prodigy after VOY since it’s basically VOY season 8/9. SNW is a spinoff from DIS, so I’d watch at least seasons 1-2 of DIS before SNW.

Prodigy is a kid’s show, but please don’t let that turn you away. It’s pretty great.

Colloquially, it means we’ll hopefully stop seeing “AI” shoved into every nook and cranny of every piece of software to tick a buzzword box.

With a 218 majority, that means 100% of the Republicans have to toe the line.

They’re already working on that. Seems they want to go after anyone who doesn’t toe the line.

I stopped eating fast food during covid and never got back into it.

The one time, post covid, I was out and stopped to eat, it was gross. But it’d been so long, I genuinely don’t know if it had always been gross and I lost my acclimation to it, or if it was actually more gross than it used to be.

Anecdotally, I’ve heard complaints online that the quality has gone down while the prices went up, so it probably has gotten worse.
