I'm not allowed to watch Star Trek any more

I triple-dog-dare ANYONE to give up their cell phone for TWO WEEKS. If your immediate reaction is "I can't do that, I have to have it for my job", and you aren't a Lawyer, Doctor, or President...that's my point. If you can't do that...you are too weak to do a boycott. Simple as that.

I will take that bet.

Spoiler

This will be easy; I don't own a cell phone either.

That's like me saying I double dog dare you to give up RPGs for 6 months. If you don't, you are weak. Maybe I just don't want to?

Anyway, you're too late. Cellphones are on their way out. Glasses are next.

I will if you will....

I think I'd have a better time of it though, seeing as I don't run a top-tier RPG website....so, there is that...

PS: Isn't that something addicts say? "I'm not addicted. I could TOTALLY give it up if I wanted to. No problem. I just don't want to"

It's got quite difficult to not have a phone. Trust me, I held out until last year. Im not talking about social media either. Paypal, rideshare, GPS directions, email, etc... Folks can pound their chest about the good old days and how it was better, though honestly, such folks are so behind in the race they think they are leading.

Managed to find that Pluto app but as far as I can make out you had to watch the episodes live. They’re not on demand? And I’d have to watch them in my computer not my TV. It does appear to be the ugliest, worst designed app I’ve ever seen!

Pluto is available on a lot of devices, at least in the US. I have it installed on my Playstation 4 and can watch the app on my TV with that. And yeah, the Pluto interface is pretty bad.

I got to season three where the not trill with the Symbiant says they would prefer to be referred to by they/them. I was oh boy…but later, when then the gay science and doctor couple (I have name blindness, sorry) were talking about them while they were sleeping, I really kindof liked it, was still a little odd, but realized was the first time I’d ever seen that happen, the they/them being used in practice on a show. I get it on the internet but was the first time I’d heard it out loud.

But OMG could they stop with incompetence losing control of situation and then two episodes fix crap. Anyway. Also here’s a vote for monster/planet of the week rhythms. Skip long story protagonists in jeopardy shows. I know I lose the vote, but I’m voting.

We’ve been watching for some time. And Discovery is a Trek with a really bleak view of the far future now that they’ve catapulted way into the future. It’s worse than Cyberpunk in that sense.

A symbiotic pair being referred to as plural makes perfect sense. There are two people in that body.

Yeah, I thought that was weird not right. Having some one wanting to be a they actually be plural, undermined it.

That's not what they mean, and we've never seen any joined Trill referred to as they/them before. Adira uses they/them as pronouns because they are non-binary, much like their actor Blu del Barrio.
