The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Just after it shipped I noticed that it is a pirate key that is being sold. I immediately did a return, but I have to wait to get it, and then send it back.
Anyway, so now I'm still needing to source a copy of Windows 10.
EDIT: I say don't buy Windows from Amazon because I went looking for a legitimate copy of Windows via Amazon.ca after I did the return. And I can't find any. They are all pirated.
Yeah. I know Amazon want to be as big as possible, but the amount of pirated/counterfeit/bootleg stuff on there these days is pretty bonkers. They've really got to start cracking down a bit.

But spending time cracking down on that might mean less profits for Bezos and would potentially get in the way of then eliminating the US labor force.
Also I remember Tom Paris said that the ship’s replicated soup was terrible (to justify the introduction of a cook character) (even tho up to that point everyone in the Star Trek universe seemed to like replicated food fine Jesus Tom stop being a hipster)

You can download the installer, copy to USB, then activate it from Microsoft directly after it's installed and running. You don't need to buy a copy from anybody!
Doesn't activation require a key?
Direct from Microsoft, they want $190 CDN for Home.
You guys remember way more about voyager than you should given how you all seem to think it sucked.
You remember bad things more than good things. Think of the last time you had something bad happen to you, versus your last happy memory, which one has a more vivid recall?
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

I basically can’t remember Voyager although I watched all of it as a kid with my parents (possibly dubbed into Italian; not sure) and it’s the only Star Trek I’ve seen. I am pretty sure I liked Harry Kim (no idea why) but pretty sure my favorite was Seven of Nine (...not just a visual thing; her character concept is fantastic).
Feral would you like me to ruin the "change my mind" meme?
The only good and pure meme was Bongo Cat, and that was already ruined in a matter of hours.
what
no it's not ruined
the cat is a fictional character, it can't be like "hey did you know bongo cat is actually a right-wing shithead 'comedian'?"
One can argue that I ruined it by making it my avatar.
there are different kinds of ruination for memes i guess
personally, "overexposure" is not one that bothers me much
"person in the meme is actually shitty" does though
I thought the meme guy being shitty was the entire point. Like the original photo said “Male Privilege is a Myth” so claiming outlandish or indefensible things on the sign became the joke.
Thousands of hot, local singles are waiting to play at bubbulon.com.
Seven of Nine was the worst and the equivalent of introducing a grim dark edgelord in 90's comic books
*throws it on the pile of money*
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Seven of Nine was hot af with the fetching cyborg implant and all, and her journey to become slightly less of a robot sociopath was extremely compelling

Maybe this is a sort of...community difference? On Imgur, which is where I read most of my memes, it's usually more of a....hmm, like "that's a weird way to put it, but you have a point" kind of thing?
Like someone might fill it in with one of those "____ is actually a sandwich" kind of things.
So like, outlandish, but defensible I guess.
Or maybe I've been reading them wrong this whole time, I dunno.
I just know I lost my taste for the tongue-in-cheek-ness of it when Youtube threw his "There are only two genders: Change My Mind" video into my recs that one time and I looked up who he was.

If you still enjoy the meme though, by all means. I don't actually want to ruin things for people.

I had serious feminist objections to Seven of Nine’s cheesecakey outfit that certainly weren’t rooted in jealousy that they never introduced any male cheesecake characters who had to wear revealing clothing for reasons

I am pretty sure that TV is where 90% of queer people go ".... wait. wait. Oh damn."
And then another 5% is Querry who watches random shit because the girls are hot and doesn't think about that fact too much.

A skintight onesie with no cleavage? How was her outfit worse than, say, Troi's?

Yeah no I was like ‘so what if actresses are hot; our society objectifies women so I course I think they’re hot; that’s just normal and definitely doesn’t make me gay or anything ok...’

That's why memes are fun, because they eventually gain independence from their source material
Tim Buckley is a pedophilic douchebag but loss memes are avant garde jokes about the nature of memes; nobody cares that Grumpycat isn't actually grumpy; I think only some people who repost FALGSC memes want to send all heterosexuals to gulag.
If you have a visceral instinctive reaction to Crowder's face in that meme then I apologize
I hate memes of the current oval office occupant because I can't even look upon his face, so I totally get that
I dislike LAMP because I dislike moths so I wouldn't make you look at a spider meme, etc
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

I already know that Crowder is a fascist wingnut
Still a funny meme

Can't have that.
it's ok, I'm punching right, and technically not hitting anything

I hear some people don't do this.
A third of the recurring characters fail the RLM good character test.
Allllmmmoooooosssst worse than Kes.
100% of emnmnmes fail the “instead of explaining a concept, you post a YouTube” test.

Paris was not cute but was married to Belana and once ummm became a lizard and had babies with Janeway? That’s about all I recall of either.

1. Usually take a couple weeks to have noticeable effect
2. But hooboy will that nausea start right away
So now I guess I'll spend the next week or so depressed and wanting to throw up
boom just galaxy brained you
