I noticed that too from kicking with the shin. Good thing I shave mine. That might be off the table for you lol.

There’s a list of Republicans who “identify” as Democrats specifically because they know the Republican party would never nominate them. They are female, black, or gay. There’s also Republicans who “identify” as Democrats because they want to destroy socialists. Both of these groups comprise “Clinton Democrats,” who…

Look, I’m no ICE fanboy, and I low-key resent the fact I have to preamble my post with that, but $6M for a vehicle with 30 minute range is bullshit. This isn’t the Model 3, which has a higher sticker price but similar range and costs less overall than the Toyota Camry. Fire engines cost an order of magnitude less.…

This is a softball article, and that’s fine. You do not need to compose a treatise on fanaticism in the human animal every day before breakfast. Isaacs himself is not talking about any of the problems internal to fandom, he is talking about external problems caused by people who are not fans showing up in fan spaces…

I don’t know how Kinja displays this stuff for you, because neither I nor anyone truly know how Kinja works, but the dude displayed right above you (for me) just called another dude a racist for taking issue with retcons that don’t make sense.

This right here is a problematic mindset.

Social justice in a television show just doesn’t work the format can’t support it.

This is because your understanding of racism is provincial American bullshit. In the New World black and brown people are almost always unarmed, defenseless, unorganized, innocent, and breathtakingly poor. In the Old World a dominant supermajority can accidentally cross a border into a country they are a repressed…

You are overthinking this. If you read the article, or were following along on this subject previously, Isaacs isn’t saying that these people are fans and that these fans are toxic, he is saying that they were never fans, don’t know what they’re talking about, and are complaining about everything Trek ever was. This…

That argument is obscene. We can’t enjoy art because some bastard somewhere is laughing the wrong way at a joke? You would think the anti-communist left would be anti-communist because the Soviets did things like censor art and literature too much, but no, they make Stalin look like an anarchist in that regard.

In the 1960s if you were a racist you bitched and moaned about Star Trek in a different forum: Your local NRA, Republican Party, city council, union, workplace. The internet has enabled these people. 

I get the impression these people weren’t alive when TOS aired or were alive and just bitched and moaned into their phone or to the people in the various clubs they were part of and to the newspaper. The internet no matter the scale of it has enabled these people. That they claim to be fans of Trek is as irrelevant as…

There is something Biblical about this. It’s like a vegan died and went to hell and the reward for their narcissism is a single candle on a single slice of banana in a dark room with people who are only tolerating them out of social obligation and if they had any sense of humor, decency, or selflessness they would…

It’s amazing how the internet has lowered the level of discourse. 25 years ago scientists were debating the Hubble Constant. Now they’re debating whether the Earth is flat.

No kipping. You’ll just cheat yourself and fuck up whatever your bar is mounted on. You shouldn’t need 3 years of college-level physics to understand this.

Pro-Brexit Torries get 43% of the vote, 56% of the seats. Anti-Brexit Labor, Lib Dems, SNP get 47.7% of the vote, 40% of the seats. “Democracy” means special rights for “conservatives” apparently. What a perfect demonstration of all the failures of the UK political system. And the farce will only continue! Another…

Y’know how before the internet people thought the reason humans were stupid was lack of access to information? Turns out it wasn’t that. People like this dude and the people who listen to him need to be banned from the internet. I’m serious. We need a Great Firewall of China, but instead of banning stupid shit like…

Dirty fucking liberals are always looking for a reason to betray and destroy socialists and socialism.

The answer is “yes, then can, but won’t, because the dirty fucking liberals running New York refuse to raise taxes on rich people by the 0.1% necessary to save the city.” The answer to why societies die is always the same: They could save themselves, but don’t. The only thing more shocking than the apocalyptic scale…

I was thinking of getting adjustable dumbbells and a bench. I really can’t stand gyms and their contracts and having to drive out there and back every damn time.
