“The DEI thing” oh my god shut up. Just say that you want to be real sure we aren’t getting more women and minorities in your comic book movies.

I didn’t realize it had been over two years since Discovery season 4 ended, I had forgotten most of this, so the recap will actually be useful for me. Though I don’t think the Spore Drive was destroyed, just burnt out to the point that it was unusable until Ten-C wormholed them back to Federation space, so my guess is…

Reading up on it (because it has been a while), it doesn’t look like Discovery’s spore drive was destroyed, just burned out to the point that if Ten-C hadn’t made a wormhole to get them back to Federation space, they wouldn’t have had the resources to fix it and it would have taken decades to get home at maximum warp.…

Everyone lost their Kinja profile pics a month or so ago, I haven’t seen any explanation for it.

Related: I found out recently how Cyclops controls his optic blasts while sleeping (when not using his regular visor) and it is adorable.

The origin of the Easter bunny, though, is a little less clear.

Can you get the Cantina Chicken subbed in for meats on other things? I used to get a shredded chicken soft taco until they discontinued their shredded chicken several years ago and their other chicken offerings weren’t as good. I don’t want the Cantina Chicken Soft Taco because I don’t want like half the ingredients,…

The problem is that there are a lot of Taco Bells in places where there aren’t good local taquerias (or any at all).

You can look it up, I don’t know that he was actually thinking of Mr Peanut but Rich Uncle Pennybags/Mr Monopoly never had a monocle. Sometimes fan art will include it, but it’s otherwise a commonly misremembered detail because of how we usually depict cartoon super-rich barons with top hats and fancy suits.

Personal preference - I never saw the series when I was a kid (didn’t know about the X-Men until the movies started, so my first X-Men cartoon was Evolution), but I’ve been watching them for the first time in preparation for 97.

You’re thinking of Mr Peanut

I think it’s hilarious that for It’s Always Sunny, they removed episodes where the characters wore blackface (or brownface or yellowface) and were heavily criticized for it, but the first episode of the series, in which Charlie says the n-word, is still up. Not saying it should be removed (it shouldn’t, none of them…

She’s the worst!

I love Star Trek, but Gene Roddenberry’s “vision” was a crew of perfect people working together with no internal conflict or character growth. And the fact that they managed to make TNG as good as it was with that premise is insane (though they violated his rules more after he died). DS9 is the best Trek show and it…

Someone needs to tell this guy to check out a Cici’s Pizza anytime in the last several decades

Sure, but there are a ton of people in the US. They don’t want to just throw away the entire market when there are easy ways around it.

Yeah, if I remember correctly, Battlefront 1 worked on the idea that you had to defeat all enemy soldiers to win and the only thing that taking the control points did was reduce the number and location that could spawn at any given time, but in Battlefront 2 they changed it so that if you held all the control points,…

Reminder that there is zero chance that TikTok goes away anytime soon - even if the US passes this ban, ownership will shift either to a US-based holding company or else it’ll be sold (at a high price, I imagine) to someone else already in the US. The brand (and yes, their algorithm and already-collected data) are…

I mostly played the PC version of Battlefront 2, but years after it came out. I don’t think I ever bothered to set up online gameplay and none of my friends played, so I played a lot just against the AI. I was never good enough to not have enough of a challenge playing them, though I did still usually win. And…

Yeah but I’m just a rando online, I’m not trying to solve problems. I’m complaining.
