Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
Yea, you know you're on the wrong side of history when the faculty steps in. Columbia University faculty members have staged a walkout in support of students arrested and suspended after participating in pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Students established a "Gaza Solidarity Encampment" at...

Re: US Election 2024: Grumpy Old Men
I thought I'd get started on a thread for all of this wacky content. Right now in the Michigan Democratic primary, Biden is up against the proverbial empty chair, because of his stance on Israel and Palestine. So the ongoing story of Biden having a unified party while Trump can't get rid of Haley m...

Re: Strange New Worlds (spoilers)
Season 2, episode 1: Plus: Doctor and Nurse Chapel kicking ass. Although to be honest, it kind of felt like we were in Star Trek Online. Also, Jess Bush is pretty damn hot. Looks like they want this Spock to explore his human side more thoroughly than any other. Though they probably have to make sur...

Re: Picard - general discussion [spoilers]
I thought this season had promise, but the last two episodes are a massive let down. Did they really need to bring the Borg into this as the final boss? The end solution was pretty simple and straight forward and I feel the Borg assimilation technology they used could have been developed a long whi...

Re: Picard - general discussion [spoilers]
Ok, so I didn't really bother watching season 1. Watched season 3 first, but went into season 2 since Q was at least something I should watch for. It's frankly bland how small the universe is. 21st Century and it turns out a Renee Picard is a gigantic pivot point on whether Earth becomes a socialist...

Re: Picard - general discussion [spoilers]
You know what I miss? Shows that had a self contained story in an episode. The obsessive need for a saga to run all season long or more is frankly tiresome. Sometimes I just want a story that resolves itself at the end of the hour and we've just decided that's not what we all wanted anymore. At the ...

Sound Effect Error in Rogue One?
At the 50th second mark when the Naval captain informs Vader the Profundity is disabled, the sound design crew messed up and modulated the captain's voice right or am I nuts? It's as if they just took the scene file and modulated the whole thing instead of just Vader's voice. http://www.youtube.com/...

Re: The Sandman
Speaking of Jenna Coleman, I almost felt like there wasn't much of a difference between Constantine and Clara from Doctor Who. Heck, Tom Sturridge kind of look like Matt Smith so it might as well been a Doctor Who serial without the police box. I definitely like Sturridge's voice. It fits so well wi...

Re: Should I try out Star Trek Online?
I said beams cause I wasn't using any one specific type as I cobbled whatever I got, but I just bought a couple antiproton beams for a hefty amount so I'll be sticking with that in the future.

Ok, so good part. I've managed to sell a few manuals bought from the summer event and I now have ~55 million EC. Not bad for a noob.

Whooo so grinding the Summer Event is paying off. Just sold a manual for 18 million energy credits so at least I have some room to breath now and get some stuff.

So, I am playing this game again and just finished the Cardassian Struggle which was really short.

Re: 2022 US Election (For FUCK'S SAKE!)
If you mean challenge wise from a Republican, that's not going to happen. However, a conservative leaning Democratic challenger in the primary where Republican PACs won't mind donating a ton of money to and the Democratic Party not minding at all if AOC is gone? Definitely.
