“At some point people are just going to refuse to turn up because of fear of transmission with so many people in one place.”

My TV broke a few days ago (nooooooooo, not during quarantine!) and I was planning on ordering a new one from Amazon after I get paid later this week. (Working from home ftw, I guess) But if it’s being delayed by up to a month, the quarantine will be over by then (or it’ll be over next week, if you listen to…

Damn, been on the hunt for an Oculus Rift S to play Half Life Alyx on, but it makes sense why this has to be done, I’m not salty.

I desperately hope that our govt’s mealy-mouthed “no rilly we’re gonna give out money and help and stuff” vagueness turns into real action -- IMMEDIATE cash infusions to small businesses, stores, restaurants, bars, etc, and IMMEDIATE reassurance that people will continue to be paid and not lose their jobs. Hopefully…

As a fashion copywriter, I can say that I much prefer these types of emails than ones that are simply NEW ARRIVALS, SHOP SPRING! as if nothing has happened. The right kind of beloved companies are still attempting to reach consumers with things they actually want. Self/skin care? Cozy home things? Plants? Yes please.

Well, this seems kind of wild to me. I chose an island that is completely segmented by two rivers. without the pole, I currently have access to maybe 25% of the land mass.

Any large corporation that doesn’t include the phrase “we are still paying our employees and plan to do so as long as we are able” in these emails gets a HUGE side-eye from me. My local bagel place put something up on FB and clarified - when I asked in the comments - that the majority of their employees have…

Kinda like when government officials started wearing US flag pins after 9/11, after the first coronavirus-related email was shipped, everybody immediately came to the conclusion that “Shit! We’ve gotta get one out too!”

And don’t pick an island layout that completely cuts you off from sections. I uh... thought I would get that pole jump a lot sooner.

They are synths. Skinjobs. Not androids per se. And can be killed with a stab to the eye like anyone could possibly.

Artificial life reading minds has been shown before on Trek.

I’m not as disappointed, still enjoying the show, but there are definitely a lot of disappointing elements. I’m not one of those people that thinks it has to be the same as the old show - I think they handled the devolving of the Federation pretty well - but they do seem to have lost a few things in this iteration.

I think this newest Soong is just Lore, modified and disguised. “My father had me, but he created Data.” The sentence and sentiment still work coming from him, and the “We’re not all machines here, you know” seems a little too on-the-nose.

I don’t think Seven reconnected with the wider collective or the queen. I think she BECAME a new queen for a moment with the cube’s Borg as her own collective. 

A lot going on in this episode.

I assumed that the metallic tinged synths were an older generation as Bruce and Soon kept perfecting their craft.

Data’s makeup was always a pearlescent gold, which could look either whitish or golden depending on the lighting. From what I can find, the book Star Trek: Aliens and Artifacts claims it has a beige base color called Shibui and a mix of two colors of “luxe powder” (for a shimmery/metallic look) called Iced Gold and…

Never forget, you are not a person, you are a consumer and a tax payer. If you can no longer perform these functions you are already dead to them.

It’s easier to hold the high ground when you’re sitting on the bridge of the most powerful ship in the fleet.  When other people HAVE to listen to you.

Ah, yes. The modern version of robin hood — steal from the poor, give to the rich.

Well, without further tax cuts, how will corporations be able to afford to buy back more of their stock at low, low prices?
