What sort of footwear do people wear in the Star Trek universe? Obviously you're wearing some sort of shoe on Deep Space Nine, but are the crew of the Enterprise going barefoot? Not in their workplace. Slippers? Do sneakers still exist in the 24th century?

Becoming a Wario version of my own father in that I am purchasing albums on vinyl that I previously owned on CD

I have some angry words for the writer of the NYT connections game

If you are an NC resident and voted in November, please check if your name or the names of any family areone of the 60K votes being challenged. If so, confirm ASAP with your Board of Elections. You only have two weeks. The website to check linked in the reply. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

a major issue with video games is that they produce a bunch of people who consider themselves brain geniuses for solving problems that were designed to be solvable. as a remedy, we should be making more games that are actively and irreconcilably hostile to the player. thank you

you should be granted one free "fuck off" work email reply per month or so

it is not possible to create a worse program than Adobe Acrobat

Googling "how to Flatliners myself" on the work wifi

this is a good post and "decadence" is a good way to think about a lot of things. true decadence is, eg, thinking you could let an insurrection go unpunished and the country would just keep chugging along nbd

But we're going to touch the stove and we'll be touching it more than probably ever before. And we're not going to get burned. We're not going to get burned

video games aren't political! *your switch 2 costs a suspicious amount of money due to recent bizarre developments in international politics*

Don't agree with the $80 Mario Kart cope I'm seeing. "Games have been undervalued for a while", "Cartridges used to cost that much", don't do this to yourself.

Oh they aren't announcing the price right now that's not good lol

Merry Christmas to @jackapedia.design

I love how episodes of Star Trek TNG are "there's a crazy scientific phenomenon happening, what happens if we explore it" and in TOS, episodes are "what if there was a weird guy"

Cheap stuff is the *only* thing America has going for it!!! That's it! Everything sucks total ass, but at least we had the dollar menu! That was the promise - the spiritual sacrifice we made in exchange for not being able to afford a house, healthcare or retirement. Now we won't even have that?

Time to get new glasses frames and I am absolutely paralyzed by the options. Need some other Bad Vision Havers to weigh in on how they choose their frames

Does Tom Cruise know what Pokémon are

I will pledge fealty to whatever candidate promises Nuremberg trials after all this

Dairy Queen is advertising "Carolina Reaper Tacos" which sounds like instant diarrhea to me

Stick drift is so cool

My computer is a stupid hog entirely subservient to me. It cannot create art. To suggest it can is profane

Seeing a lot of genAI art used in the service of fascism lately

I hope I'm not the only one comforted by the idea that restaurants and businesses from their childhood hometown are still around. Yeah, that one pizza buffet was really shitty, but it's still around! I'm so happy for them!

Reasonably good Nintendo Direct. Prime 4 looks fun, crazy that Patapon is still alive, and many other unexpected games. I can't get too bent out of shape about not seeing XYZ. It's really good for a console to have genre/title variety! Way more preferable to "No first party Sony releases in 2024"

Princess Peach showing toes on the Nintendo Today app

A Rhythm Heaven sequel in 2026 is exactly the type of thing I refer to when I say "the last year of a Nintendo generation gets nuts"

Stuff like this is perfect because it shows how utterly devoid of creativity genAI evangelists are. Great you recreated a photo that already exists in a drawing style that only has currency because of who you're stealing it from giving the world something with absolutely no value or meaning.

Marvel has one button labeled Bring Back Character From Twenty Years Ago and for years, they've smashed it with all their might. They're gonna keep smashing that motherfucking button well into the future. That's not a judgment call on my part, they're just extrapolating market forces

There's still time for a Hey! Pikmin remake

It should be a major scandal that the Social Security Administration made it harder for parents to register their babies in Maine to punish the President's enemies www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/u...

Describing your living child as dead to collect on some clout with your fans is unimaginably depraved and the opposite of love

Ran my first 10k today 🏃

really embarrassing stuff. I say this as a huge fan of the band: they haven't had a truly great single since 2013 a lot of their recent tunes sound like this (structurally, not in subject matter) - not sure they have it in them anymore to create a song as musically interesting as One Week

My senior year of college, I was an RA in a freshman dorm. One of the guys on my hall fancied himself an amateur rapper. He wasn't very good, and he passed out his mixtape to everyone on the hall, including the janitorial staff. He did not make it big, and last I checked, was working as a realtor.

My college junior year, a guy on my dorm's floor spent a week pissing in a giant water jug (I never figured out why). After a few days, when it was full, he opened it to show us how it had turned to ammonia. He gave it a whiff and immediately threw up all over his dorm room carpet

It doesn't explain everything but if you want to know one big reason we're in the situation we're in, it's that for decades our government has absolutely refused to hold any rich or powerful people responsible for anything no matter how damaging, disruptive, or blatantly illegal

about to wade into the Bill Paxton vs. Bill Pullman debate once again

Trailer selection before the Looney Tunes movie tonight was so bad that I texted my mom to apologize for dragging her to kids' movies twenty years ago

the idea that oswald was a free agent — that despite all the machinations, JFK was killed as a result of random chance — is so intolerable to so many people they have to believe the conspiracies are true
