To be clear, these are Apple users. Most of them will take just about any abuse Apple is willing to throw their way.

Oh he’s anti-Trump alright. But that’s just meaning that he wants to take Trump’s place.

Waiting for Captain Janeway to enter the chat…

They were literally trying to make her a Bones clone. People need to remember that the first two seasons of Star Trek the next generation had a lot of ups and downs before they really found their footing in the later seasons.

The problem with the writing on Pulaski’s character was that they were reaching for a gruff and blunt demeanor similar to Bones from the original Star Trek. They failed spectacular at that. And I think the only reason that Pulaski has the limited fandom that she does is because Muldaur is an incredible actress.

That wasn’t her. That was also a guy not a woman. The only woman in that particular story was the judge who is determining whether or not data was a sentient being and could refuse to go with that guy.

Picard just didn’t want the rest of the crew knowing that he had a mechanical heart. It was pure fucking vanity.

The reason she ended up doing it anyway is because she was the only one who was expert enough to actually fix his heart. They had to warp 9 her ass to where he was being worked on and almost had to leave Geordie in the hands a bunch of wackadoo morons with an inferiority complex in order to get her there in time.

The Thought Emporium is trying to do it on the cheap using Gatorade (or something similar) as a growth medium and making their own circuit boards.

There’s another bunch of guys who are trying to do the same thing with rat neurons on the cheap using Gatorade as a growth medium.

If it comes to that we’re going to need something stronger than a pitchfork.

You cannot equate ADHD and spectrum mental conditions with disease. For one they are not a disease, you cannot catch them and you cannot give them to other people. They are the way people’s brains work. People are just born that way, same way people are born gay or trans, smart or dumb, handsome or ugly. You can’t have an outbreak of ADHD or autism the same way you have an outbreak of the flu or covid.

People have been searching for environmental factors for autism, ADHD, depression, and all kinds of mental conditions for years. Other than crackpot anti-vaxxers and people like RFK Jr who try to throw life saving vaccines and common medications like Tylenol under the bus with literally no literature whatsoever to back it up, there has been no links discovered. Genetics and fetal gestation is weird and people just get born different sometimes. We as a society need to accept that and stop thinking these are diseases that need to be “fixed”.

This is actually the most apt analogy for the whole “sudden increase in diagnosis” bullshit line that anti-vaxxers and anti-science people continually vomit out.

This is the thing that kills me about the corporate anti-GrapheneOS sentiment. It is 100% a more secure phone, and yet every measure they implement against it cites security as a reason. Total and absolute bullshit.

This is just more proof that he’s going to do something to prevent the 2026 midterms from happening.

With the inability to obtain hardware for new PCs and other computing devices (for reference see how hard it is to get a hold of a steam deck these days). I’m not sure if the steam machine is ever going to come to fruition while the AI boom continues to fuck up the market.

I think the Republicans in Congress truly believe that Trump is going to be able to stop the next election cycle. So they have no fear of losing their place.

All Senate Democrats voted for the resolution except for Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, who has argued that cutting off the President’s authority mid-campaign would send the wrong message.

Can we please kick this asshole out of the democratic party for fuck sake???

This is basically Apple’s version of a Chromebook. It’s an iPhone in the shape of a laptop.

Unfortunately that is by design. Walmart actively works to close down local stores and corners the market on wholesalers to control the price so they are the lowest price in any area. Only ones that can usually stand up to them or places like Aldi.

Personally I have been boycotting Walmart for over 15 years because they refuse to hire most of their employees full time so as to dodge having to provide mandated health insurance and they have a long history of completely screwing the lives of people who use their automated check out system.

Couldn’t pay me to shop at their horrible stores. FUCK Walmart and FUCK the Walton family who’ve become billionaires off the back of poor people in America.
