Let me tell you what happened to a classmate of mine when we were in ~ 6th grade at Catholic school……

Misleading headline. NASA accidentally broadcast a simulated ISS distress message.

Two very different things.

Thank you!

There’s a reason that the term “Fandom Menace” and the saltierthancrait subreddit are things.

As a fan since the 80’s, and a woman, I’ve seen my fair share of toxicity, but nothing will compare to the level it’s gotten since the release of the sequels. I also hated the sequels, but goddamn the level of hate towards the actors themselves was just awful. There were many valid technical reasons to criticize those movies - diversity wasn’t one of them.

It’s definitely made us all look like idiots regardless if you were a part of the drama or not.

Same and I’ve honestly wondered if it’s had lasting damage for awhile now.

Thank you for letting me know that :)

I hope the devs can tweak a few minor things here and there while leaving the most useful functions alone, change the name, slap a new logo on it and be back in business.

But I know nothing about how the censorship and the add-ons to circumvent it work and odds are it won’t be that easy.

They’re the gift that keeps on giving.

Perfect.

But do they put giant “In God We Trust” decals on the back to reach maximum level of cringe?

Wow. That’s wild.

Not any worse than peddling Scientology tbh

They did this, too:

The Epoch Times directed millions of dollars in advertising toward supporting President Donald Trump’s campaign and published dozens of articles parroting his lies about the election — resulting in huge growth to its audience and its coffers.

Sometimes we have to for work. That or Edge :(

Man…I just spent way too much time on the site mentioned in the article and TLDR I am worried. Very worried.

The lifeguard seemed particularly triggered by the turquoise and pink stripes on the original Pride flag designed by Gilbert Baker, which represent magic and sex, respectively.

Gonna go out on a limb and say that this man is no fun at parties.

I really didn’t have an answer because I wasn’t expecting the question, lol, but I kind of managed to come up with something like “Well….the show ended and you went away. You just kinda left.”

It was lame but all I could manage to think of on the fly. He just kind of laughed. It was a good experience, all of the main TNG bridge crew were there except for Jean-Luc and Wesley (who were originally supposed to be, that was a disappointment, but it was still fun).

You can never have too much Riker….(the 14 year old girl who was me, waiting impatiently for TNG to come on…for the sci-fi…and the Riker).

I met Jonathan Frakes at a con once and told him I had the biggest crush on him when I was a teenager. He said, “Well what changed?”

Riker gonna Riker lol

Thanks for the rec, I have not read it. It sounds like something I would enjoy, so I’ll check it out!

9/11 enabled so much of this to be fast-tracked. Thanks, Patriot Act.
