The cat doctor wins on account of being able to swear. But Dr. Culber gets bonus points for sarcastically delivering medical care on occasion.

bionicjoey ,

Not only for being able to swear, but for making liberal use of that privilege

This wiki also features articles on Krull, the Allspark, and the Chaos Emeralds. I can only assume this all takes place in the Tails Gets Trolled universe.

If they threw the ball backwards, was it mandatory that everyone jump and spin around?

FunkyMonk , in It has been a long day

I wish I could cry, got that beat out of me by classmates in elementary.

flicker ,

I've been through a shit ton of trauma, and I'm at a place now where I will decide before crying, "Is this worth the inevitable headache?"

Which leads to me saving up several sadnesses and then planning a luxury cry sesh where I take a preventative ibuprofen, drink preventative water, listen to sad music in a shower and really indulge. Apparently this is abnormal and unhealthy but I really, really hate getting a headache.

If something is sad enough to justify the headache, of course, game on but I will complain!

FunkyMonk ,

That sounds weirdly nice to me.

flicker ,

You're welcome to try it if you ever have a feeling like, "I have a sad and I do not know why." For maximum luxury include sad music! Really jazzes up a luxury sad!

Bonus is, if you get out before the hot water runs out, you can get the catharsis of "and now all my tears are down the drain and out of me, and my muscles are relaxed." If too hot of water, add post-cry water, or a cold water bottle in the shower.

Disclaimer; none of this advice has been vetted by a medical professional.

Or even me. I didn't even proofread it. So it's entirely unvetted!

Wow, getting all' the fancy crying tips here. Why didn't anyone tell me this stuff before now?

I don't get the headaches but I do get surprise sads and random sads. Dunno about luxury sads, though 🤔🤷‍♀

I like to drive my car somewhere private, preferably at night, and cry/yell for a bit. Then I put on some meditative music, light some incense (yes. In my car), and try to meditate away the sad/angry for about an hour. Then I can go home and be at baseline.

Why did I read the first line like “Bustin’ makes me feel good” from the Ghostbusters theme.

Which brings it full circle, since the Ghostbusters theme is a ripoff of I Need a New Drug by Huey Lewis and the News

🤔 So like, what would stop some diplomat from just bringing a suitcase nuke with them when getting beamed on board, and setting it off?

LastYearsPumpkin ,

The transporter detects and disables weapons mid beam. In at least one episode, they held a diplomat in the buffer to ask what to do about their weapon.

pinkdrunkenelephants , (edited )

How the fuck is that even possible even by technobabble standards?

How would they differentiate a weapon from life-saving medical equipment, and why wouldn’t some evil villain capitalize on that fact?

Or just make the crew beam down on some planet for some meeting and nuke the meeting place?

Or just pack a ship full of antimatter and ram it into the Enterprise?

The whole way war is done in Star Trek is so fucking stupid 🤦

Stamets OP ,

  • The computer differentiates. Not sure why this is such a leap. The system is able to perfectly rebuild you because it analyzes you as you come in. It needs to know what to rebuild so it scans every part to rebuild. The system is able to tell between a tricorder and a phaser. There is no way for a villain to capitalize on this if they’re the one beaming onto any Starfleet ship because Starfleet is in control.
  • You could attack the away party and nuke the planet but it makes no sense to do so. Congrats. You’ve killed a couple people from the away team. The only thing you’ve done is guarantee you’ll be hunted down by Starfleet.
  • The deflector shields prevent ships from ramming ships. The shields prevent matter from entering.
  • Anti matter is insanely volatile and you’re not going to be able to casually pack the ship full of it
  • Ships have been used as suicide vessels that let their warp drive go critical. They’ve done this on ships in space as well as entering space stations cloaked and then detonating.
  • Nah, it is not “fucking stupid”.
pinkdrunkenelephants ,

See, that’s a logical and reasonable explanation and [email protected] ought to take lessons from you.

Nah, it is not “fucking stupid”

Ehh. I’m still not quite sold on that point, but I accept your explanations for the others.

Stamets OP ,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

Yeah I’m just going to go ahead and block you. You come into a Star Trek community throwing a fit about Star Trek, insulting it all based off of your own complete ignorance on the situation, and then have the fucking nerve to insult everyone else?

Some repugnant ass behavior. I’m sorry to @LastYearsPumpkin. Just ignore this jerk.

pinkdrunkenelephants ,

∆∆ Yeah, I figured they would react like that even with positive acknowledgement of anything logical they had to say, because surprise-surprise, they weren’t actually speaking in good faith, they were just angry someone pointed out plot holes in some dumb TV show that their own friend even acknowledged is just fiction and doesn’t matter.

You all are highly highly oversensitive and you need to grow up. If it’s just fiction don’t throw temper tantrums when people point out plot holes because you can’t tolerate any sort of criticism toward a TV show of all things.

LastYearsPumpkin ,

Even crazier, they can filter out disease in the transporter. That’s how they don’t bring plagues back onto the ship after going on away missions.

How do they tell what’s a natural microbiome vs. crazy alien bacteria? Who knows, it’s a fantasy space show. Just sit back and relax.

pinkdrunkenelephants ,

That’s just a weak-ass cop-out and you and I know it.

Why even have plots if they have magic machines that can make any problem go away with arbitrary explanations of how they work that are neither consistent or logical within the rules of its universe?

It’s stupid. And I can bet you’re just going to respond “Well, I like it anyway so I don’t care” in which case why even bother responding?

No matter whether you like that song or not, having it looped for an extended period of time is a form of torture even the Cardassians would condemn.

It’s the only painful thing about binging ENT, honestly.

karlach , in 'Twas the night before first contact day..

This reminds me of Vanilla Sky.

spoilerKurt Russell’s character realises he is in a simulation and has an existential crisis. You lived your entire life to this point and from someone else’s perspective you’re basically an NPC. Dread.

Daft_ish ,

Hehe Kurt Russel as the least in vanilla sky? I’d watch it.

Anticorp ,

You know what Jack Burton always says… what the hell?

CitizenKong ,

Well, poor guy/girl is probably from a reality where Kurt Russell did play the lead in Vanilla Sky and is now having an identity crisis.

Rodeo ,

All other people are NPCs from the perspective of one person. That’s what “non-player character” means.

You’re the player in your own mind, aren’t you? That makes the rest of us NPCs.

I just don’t see how someone else’s perspective of my autonomy should cause such a crisis in me.

karlach ,
@karlach@lemmy.world avatar

The difference is NPCs exist only for the main character’s experience. Oblivion’s Adoring Fan does not have a life outside of interacting with the main character or an existence outside of when the human in the external reality controls the main character in the simulated reality. In our reality there is apparently no main character. Everything and everyone simply is. To learn one is artificial is to realise that everything one has done is artificial and confined to the boundaries of someone else’s experience. A created slave with a hollow origin and no means of escaping a forced purpose.

Rodeo ,

I mean a cursory glance at your own life ought to show you that you do in fact have a life outside of the experiences of some arbitrary person. If you were told you are an NPC, does your lifetime of personal experiences simply vanish?

Even if you were shown proof that you’re a simulation, can you really just let go of your entire existence like that?

I think denial would be a far more common reaction than existential crisis.
