    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*

    A skintight onesie with no cleavage? How was her outfit worse than, say, Troi's?
    I always thought of them as the exact same kind of thing? Everyone in the show wears the same uniform except for one female character who wears a different, more-revealing-but-not-like-super-revealing outfit for sexiness reasons

    It wasn't worse than Troi's, because Troi's was bad too.

    Except Troi as a character is flat and Seven has probably the best character arc in Star Trek outside of DS9.

    Which if you’re gonna do that, alright, but then why not have a sexy fish man join the crew who has to be shirtless because he’s sensitive to your earth fabrics

    Well. I'd have a hard time picking between the Doctor and Seven, but the Doctor's arc was a bit more all over the place.

    Also while all of you small town brains are lusting after tom paris, all of us galaxy brains are drooling over the growth and self care Reginald Barclay had undergone since TNG and how his brilliant mind had been saved by proper mental healthcare so that he could one day help the federation do the impossible

    Jeri Ryan had great boobs and her character added to the show as a science officer. We should call that a win.

    I think Tom Paris invented like four different thought to be impossible super-technologies throughout the course of the series? He's at least A tier.

    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. :D

    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.

    I kinda want one that has a sign that says "I'm a fucking idiot. Prove me wrong." and then more panels where he just gradually ages until it's a dried out husk sitting behind the table.

    I watched the Squadron 42 trailer.

    See I don't want anything else from Roberts.

    That is just a new version of Wing Commander.

    That is all I fucking want damn it.

    Fuck I even liked the last Wing Commander and its weird aliens.

    I have learned over the last few days that SSRIs:

    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

    Quid I am glad you are on drugs. Also hope you don't get the shit side effects besides nausea.

    So, don't buy Windows from Amazon I found out.

    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.

    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.

    That's how much it costs if you want a legitimate activation key! Well, that's how much it costs in Canada, where they are charging you a bunch of extra dollars for your socialist Paradise.

    On its face, this seems like a matrix reference. But in context I'm guessing it is some kind of hijacked internet thing?

    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).

    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.
    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...’

    The first time I watched Robin Hood I told my mom I wanted to be Maid Marion when I grew up.

    (second time Robin Hood, tho).

    Transition was kicked off via media gender swap too, actually.
