Me, upon seeing the response: Hahahaha! Man that was fast. Dude always has the perfect reply ready.
5 minutes later: tries to squint through Klingon makeup 🤔
One trip to IMDB and Memory Alpha later: …holy shit.
The next day: I should post a reply.
Now: We’re in now now.

Goals require long term work, commitment, and developing new habits.
This is why I’m doomed.
I’d also spend a month researching the exact perfect router
Every time I do this I come away disgusted with how trash most technology is and just how awful manufacturers are willing to make the experience just to get those precious data harvesting bucks. See also: this thread. Womp womp.
You know what worked for me? Getting passably good at singing the Bowie parts. It’s like the parts that want to get stuck are in opposition with the Bowie parts and there’s some mental tussling then suddenly the song is over and you’re free.
It also works well at confusing the shit out of people at parties who all want to sing along yet seemingly never got the memo that the song is a duet.
Me: watches TNG episode
Risa: memes that exact episode

Congrats! It’s good to see some Zelda II love. It took me years to beat this as a kid, and you bet your ass I got some tips from Nintendo Power lol. To this day it’s still one of my favorite NES games.
I worked in a “datacenter” where the humidifier function for the HVAC unit was turned off because it leaked under the floor into an adjoining office when it was trying to humidify. Management refused to fix the unit due to the cost, and saw no issue with running the room with relative humidity in the teens all winter. Madness.
You jest, but she gives a wicked purple nurple.
If they were president, they’d be Swimmy Carter.
Thank you for this. I found the lack of Post in the post disturbing.
All it takes is watching a few home improvement videos on YT to start the idiot ads rolling: bots reading screen text a la TikTok that boil down to “Doctors HATE this one trick!” nonsense. I’m never sure if the knowledge gained from the video is worth the brain cells lost to the ad.
the only thing we knew about them was that they were activated by cannabis.
I probably should be sleeping. I know this because as I was reading, my eyes lost focus a bit and I read that as “activated by cannibals.” Cue the confusion.
It will be painful and slow, but I appreciate the support lol. I’ve got a lot of catching up to do myself, as stuff got in the way of consistently watching DS9 and even getting into Voyager (being a teenager), Enterprise (being an adult on night shift), and any of the streaming stuff (being an adult both burnt out on streaming subscriptions and way behind in the lore). It makes sense to go through things together with her, but… yeah only watching like 3 episodes a week is excruciating lol. Especially since I am a natural born binge-watcher.
…I have no idea if I’m looking at an actual show clip or a very well made fan thing. All I know is that I need to watch Lower Decks. But it’s also something that my SO would appreciate, and it’s hard enough to make time to get through TNG (her first Trek). Gah!
I’m with you. I don’t like the default Lemmy UI at all, but it’s the most feature-complete as far as I can tell. I was a longtime Apollo user, so while Voyager feels similar at first glance it’s mostly skin-deep. Kbin really does a great job with the look and feel, but there are a lot of frustrating bugs. I believe the dev has Been Going Through Some Shit (per his posts in kbinMeta) and I do not begrudge him taking care of personal life before a side project that blew up over the summer. So the result is that I mostly browse with kbin and switch to Lemmy if I need to do more than a text reply.
For now.
