  1. Discovery and Strange New Worlds start out running in parallel (think TNG/DS9) - Pike/Spock/Number One are introduced in season 2 of Discovery.
  2. You really need to see season 2 of Discovery before jumping into Strange New Worlds. Or not, but I recommend it. And if you were a fan of TNG/DS9/Voyager, you need to watch Lower Decks And if you need semi-nudity, on Lower Decks, you'll see the offspring of Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid nearly showing off his censored. Or an animated Jerry O'Connell fucking a censored. NSFW 🚨
  3. To expand on something I said in another thread, I'm going to tell all of my MAGA relatives and friends and former co-workers here in Texas that as a patriot and somebody who was secretly inspired by Trump several years ago about the issues around illegal immigrants, I'm reporting everybody I know that's paid for labor performed by what I believe to be illegal immigrants to the feds, and I'm going to mention that I've been taking photos and recording conversations and saving texts for years. It's unfortunate that the economies in Denton, Harrison, Sabine, Montgomery, Williamson, and Johnson counties are going to take a very small hit as a bunch of people start doing their own fucking yard work, but it'll be made up by them paying more to licensed contractors to put on roofs and siding and clearing out trees. It also means I'm probably going to have the Christmas I want for once, as we aren't invited to a bunch of family get-togethers in Texas and Oklahoma, and can instead do our own thing. In terms of getting people to vote, I'm working on some folks who declare themselves to be moderates/old-school Republicans who might not normally vote, and pointing out that they survived Obama for 8 years and Biden for 4, and that once Trump is gone after this election, they'll have a chance to vote for the kinds of Republicans they used to vote for pre-Trump. Whether that works or not, I don't know, but not all of the moderates/fence-sitters are lost, and many just want Trump gone and then they will come down from pretending to be moderate or independent. Tim Walz seriously helps with these people a lot, when you send them stories/videos/etc. of him being the kind of person they would actually hang out with.
  4. How'd you fly under the radar and not get purged?
  5. Maybe we should start telling our MAGA relatives that, as patriots, and as people who want to save American jobs, we are going to make lists and developing proof and start reporting everybody, including relatives, and every company we believe to be hiring illegal immigrants.
  6. #14890342 reason why social media sucks. I saw a relative mention a week or two ago that if the Kerch bridge is dropped, that it will be a red line for Putin and he'll do something drastic. I would like to strangle this person (not related by blood) and scream into their face "MOTHERFUCKER THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF UKRAINIANS IN FUCKING KURSK AND IF THAT'S NOT A REDLINE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE IS, OUTSIDE OF MAYBE MOSCOW."
  7. Why didn't you put on a fake accent, look at the old guy and say
  8. Well, it started with RFK Jr getting horny over Tulsi Gabbard officially jumping on the Trump Train.
  9. I did. Was surprised, given I live in Travis County.
  10. It got folded into the Red Sea patrols (and I'm not sure if they are still doing them or not)
  11. I'm still not convinced that this isn't a matter of him deciding the French/Western nations would treat him better than the Russians, or that this wasn't some kind of ruse. I'd love to know more about the canceled meeting with Putin in Azerbaijan (I believe he flew straight from Azerbaijan to Paris). That situation was odd - I'm glossing over his past, but they had been unhappy with him in the past because his original social media startup, VK whatever, was not that responsive to the Russian government and he covered for Ukrainian protestors, but then he moved on from that after being forced out (forced to sell/ousted by the Russian government, who knows given the individuals and companies behind all the VK stuff). Then he went on to co-found Telegram and the Russian government wasn't happy that Telegram is a pain in the ass to get stuff removed. Yet, the Russian government and military were using Telegram (maybe they hated the platform but loved the encryption or platform or something). He had a shitload of money and all kinds of connections, and could have flown anywhere in the world. If things were still cool with the Russians after Azerbaijan this weekend, he could have hung out in plenty of places in Africa, plus he had UAE citizenship, and you know that if he was in deep shit, the UAE wouldn't extradite somebody like him, as well as citizenship with Saint Kitts and Nevis. The whole thing is weird as shit, regardless of what Dmitry Peskov said yesterday (and if Peskov is saying something, you kind of need to believe the opposite). The one thing about Paris and being in custody is that he doesn't have to worry about touching the wrong doorknob or drinking tea or falling out of windows. Had he went back to Dubai or Africa, the Russians could have gotten to him.
  12. Great, a bunch of people are going to hit up Google and come across this thread.
  13. Came across this, for those curious about the GMLRS video that @MillerEP posted earlier
  14. Anytime any of my relatives start up with this shit, most of the time I can tell them "if you want to fix it, then how about you lead by example and fire the guy who mows your lawn or bales your pasture that you pay cash and who barely speaks any English." MAGA as a whole has no fucking clue how much immigrants are doing for them, whether it's freeing them up from mowing lawns or farm work, or cheap produce, or cheap construction or cheap roofing or siding.
  15. The problem is that his Princeton class ring gets in the way.
  16. I would toss in that if he thought he could flood Kyiv and that there would be no substantial changes in aid to Kyiv or relations with China or others, I think Putin would have tried to do it a year or two ago. He's been in "If I can't have it, neither can you" mode for quite a while now.
  17. As the father of a daughter, I'm hoping that our girl turns out right, but the least I can do is that if she hangs with any true crazies, is I'm going to make the crazies fucking disappear in a coal pit in Oklahoma or Arkansas. No matter how old she is, I'll always be her dad.
  18. Russia blowing up the Kakhovka Dam got a decent bump in military aid (helped by Russian trying to ban the UN from helping those who were flooded), and it only killed a few dozen people. Deliberately flooding the capitol of a European country, and probably killing thousands (or more) and displacing millions would be a huge fucking deal, and here in the US would make for a great photo op to do even more for Ukraine. In Europe, it would also increase aid. And China has already been quietly backing off dealing with Russia because they are worried about sanctions hitting Chinese banks - flooding out millions of civilians would kick that up a few notches. Not that Putin wouldn't try - he's clearly living in an information bubble of sorts, but at the same time, they didn't send 20 of their best missiles at the dam, and the accuracy of Russian missiles is pretty shit, otherwise they'd be using them against targets on the battlefield to try and relieve the pressure in Kursk.
