    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I'm pretty sure that time was when we came down out of the trees. But I do own more than a few Regency/Victorian suits, and no modern ones.

    Spoilers THUNDERBOLTS* (spoilers I guess?)

    The usual meme would be about a billionaire who dresses up in costume beat up poor people, and assault an incredibly high number of PHD holders who want to do something good for society, the planet, or a loved one.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Took me 10 months to make a damned hat. Started the project, that needed skills I didn't yet possess. Got 75% done. Had to scrap 50% and go back to the drawing board. Agonized over how to proceed next. Got depressed. Got inspired. Got back to work and eventually completed it. Then I did this...

    It could work and it's kind of what I wanted "Enterprise" to be; the birth of the UFP. I think it would work best if they didn't just concentrate on what was happening on the political side of the UFP, but also showed the incidents that instigated the political wrangling. It could also give us...

    I don't know that he was privy to the information that either Pike or La'an had. La'an's knowledge was specifically from a time travel incident, that she didn't relate to him.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    If they could somehow get permission to film on The Badlands that would work, but they had to close them to direct public access because people are stupid and were actively causing damage to a protected space, that exists to demonstrate how man has affected nature. EDIT - When it was still open...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    I'm trying to think of places around Toronto that they could use for alien landscapes. They already used Ontario Place, in season 1. The Cheltenham Badlands? Canada's Wonderland (theme/amusement park) for a "pleasure planet"? "The Expanse" (and many others) already used the RC Harris Water...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I see it more as a passive-aggressive way of doubling-down; cf. "I'm sorry you feel that way." I have a specific current example but, unfortunately, referencing it would likely go down a rabbit hole that is not permitted here.

    The best part of the episode and I missed it while watching it live, last night. Just caught in on streaming. The walk-out <Chef's Kiss>.

    I don't but when something becomes a literal survival skill, I could see how it would be difficult to just turn it off.

    Also referred to as "doubling-down" and a frequent tool of just genuinely bad people.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Both the corporate world and the world of litigation have beaten that sort of accountability out of many. "Cover thine own butt" has become the 11th Commandment, if you don't want to pay an out of scale price. Fortunately, in Canada, we literally have a law that says an apology is not an...

    Also how it usually goes around here: <Makes general statement without qualifying it's an opinion because it's an opinion, and nowhere stated as fact> "That's absolutely not true and you should not be stating it as fact!" "Where did I say that it as anything but an opinion?"
