Indeed.

As someone who paid enough attention in highschool chemistry to get a B, and occasionally watches Nile(red/blue) and E&I videos… I know some of these words/symbols!

My wife isn’t quite nerdy enough to get this yet, and my parents haven’t watched TNG in so long they don’t remember the phrase.

I have nobody who gets this in my life…

But stabbing your neighbor isn’t exactly something most people are willing to do.

And any sort of attempt at organization leads to Alphabet Squad raids and whatever bullshit charges they feel like throwing at you after deciding you’re guilty of being a dirty commie/socialist/librul/not them.

YOU’RE STEALING OUR TRASH! REEEEEEEEE!

If you clip a healthy plant without asking the owner first, you’re a dick. But if I see you do it at a store, no I didn’t. Cause the store made $2,550,000 while I was typing this.

You know, I was about to jump on this deal but then I noticed the shipping costs

Bruh I’m not paying for shipping, no deal.

Party fog usually happens in a small area around a gathering of stoners.

Hey, if the gathering is large enough, maybe someday it could be party fog!

Waaaaaay ahead of you.

I’ve been screaming for them to stop for years.

Corvids evolved beyond the need for physical form.

All that remains are echoes.

un-miles-obrien, basically a cheeky way of saying unjerk my role play… Yeah not very clever mind you, but I work on transporters not words.

The higher the amount of energy you require from the dilithium, the quicker it fractures. In newer starships they recrystallize whioe still in use, but in older federation ships like when Those Old Scientists were roaming the stars, it was a real danger that you’d break the only dilithium crystals on the ship and be more or less stranded if you pushed them too hard.

Of course you still have to deal with warp core stress and heat dispersion on newer ships.

So when a sovereign class goes to warp 6, that’s more or less cruising speed. When she goes to warp 9.975, she needs to haul ass to get somewhere right the fuck now

Especially with subspace damage at higher warps with less streamlined ships/warp bubbles, starfleet limited travel in general to warp 6 and some areas the speed limit is warp 3.

/uMO So in other words… Whatever the plot currently demands, that’s what they go with. It’s just a show of “we need to be there quickly” or “we have some time to kill” more or less.

I can remind all the Star Trek fans that the episode Sub Rosa exists.

And to all the anime fans, I’m so sorry to do this to you…

“Ed… Ward…?”

I don’t know, I think I could get a pretty dangerous gladiatorial fight between my nieces and nephews with real swords.

I doubt any of them can swing hard enough to sever a head, but fingers aren’t out of the question.

Oh don’t worry, they still are.

Just not domestically.

That and they have way more free time to play endless hours of that game…

“Truth is denied those who refuse to seek it with both eyes wide”

I sent this to some friends with my own added text of “Russia: doing a genocide. Israel: totally a-ok, no genocide here, carry on”

One of the people surprised me with a “how can you possibly think Russia isn’t trying to genocide Ukraine” and was completely flabbergasted that I was actually suggesting that Israel fucking is.

Even if that’s the way you think, I thought my sarcasm was perfectly clear and would be obvious to them what my stance is…

You think you know some people.

“Computer, emergency protocol 68 on my location”

Look, there’s a reason you can wire almost any heavy machinery into any random console or wall panel… When you run this much power to every station, exploding panels are gonna happen.

It’s either that, or we run our ships like Vulcans, and that’s just boring.

Damn, here I thought I was going to be original for once…
