The dumbest part is when the JAG appoints Riker as the...plantiff/prosecutor? And threatens to summarily vote in the plantiff's favor if he refuses to serve in that capacity. "If you don't do anything, you win."

She's someteen so not many zoomies in this house. Extra cuddly though.
Typically they'll do a major revamp or a clean sheet design of a model, so the 2005 Hoyota Civrolla is a completely new car. The 2006 Civrolla will be available in a few different paint colors and 2 different wheel options. The 2007 model has a different grille so it looks even more like it's smiling while wearing a retainer. The 2008 model has a different washer bottle assembly and the battery tray is now molded plastic instead of stamped steel. The 2008 model is available with a 2.7 liter engine in addition to the 3.6. 2009 they eliminate the base model trim so now they all have power mirrors and cruise control. The 2010 models with CD players can now play mp3s off the CD. 2011 they only sell the 6-speed manual with the 2.7 liter engine, the V6 is only available with an automatic. 2012 they do a major style update, same chassis and running gear, different bodywork and the interior shares more components with the Elamry.
Other than a flip phone in 2005 that died a death I now have the skills to fix, I have never bought a new phone after only one year. I upgraded from an S4 to an S10. The time to flat out reject the yearly release cycle is over a decade old at this point.
My understanding is it's Home Depot but green and only in flyover states.
There's an entire genre of tiktok videos out there of women saying things like "So this guy I like asked me out, and I said no, and he was like okay bye and just walked away. What is with men not pursuing women anymore?"
Hmm what was that hashtag popular a few years ago? #nomeanskeepgoing?
"No means no" they said. Meanwhile in this very thread: "I'm actually in love with the guy that stalked me."
If you want no to mean no, you have to say different things when you mean something other than no. If you want to play hard to get, A) don't, you suck at it and B) maybe let him know that's the game you're playing so he'll actually try hard to get you instead of just taking a flat rejection at face value; ie don't just say "no" say "You'll have to try harder than that" or something that indicates you are open to further attention. What saying "no" when you actually mean "try harder" accomplishes is you filter out the guys who take no for an answer leaving your dating pool only filled with the men who don't really care that much about consent.
As for the "I turned him down becuase I wasn't interested in him, then we actually talked and turned out I actually like the guy" story...I guess maybe try actually talking to guys? Even if you don't cream your gusset at first sight?
Theaters have always been more fun to go to for a movie you actually care about.
I'm not convinced that's true. Clerks and Mall Rats both bombed at the box office but were huge on VHS. I don't know if I'd want to sit in a movie theater and watch Groundhog Day. I don't need "Ned! RYERSON!" bigger than god booming down at me from a 30 foot screen and a 90 gigawatt sound system. Some movies are designed to be watched on a couch with your legs pulled up beside you clutching a cup of hot tea. Or to be laughed at and riffed on with friends. Some movies work best when watched several times, maybe even while doing something else, just listening to the dialog as it plays on the living room television while you're doing the dishes, letting the dialog simmer long and low on your mind's back burner.
I find movies that rely on the spectacle of the big screen and powerful sound system just aren't that interesting. I mean, I saw Transformers in the theater and I haven't wanted to see a movie for its special effects since. "Spectacular" has become a synonym of "noisy" to me. And that's functionally all they make now.
A trailer or two for upcoming films is acceptable. When I used to be a fan of movies, I wanted to be informed of other movies that were potentially interesting to me. 20 years of Comics And Comics Alone have cured me of cinema, so.
To make toast, follow these simple instructions:
- partially unplug the power cable from the toaster and pinch its cheeks.
2 plug the cable part of the way in and apply two or three cocktail fork fulls of semen. Place a dish of butter nearby.
3, Plug the cable into the top of the toaster, plug a different cable into the bottom. Insert a slice of bread into one of the slots. Swap the butter for a small dish of ketchup.
4 Swap the ketchup for a jar of duck sauce, fondle the bread.
- Swap the jar of duck sauce for a scalpel and the tweezers from a swiss army knife. Tell the bread "Ah c'mon you."
2 Unplug the toaster completely, get a Pez dispenser, and turn the bread...sideways?
-
Plug the toaster back in, get a different dish of butter, pinch the bread.
-
Scrape the bread with a fork on a worried tray near a concerned butter knife.
Serve on a plate with losenges, coffee, whippets and coffee.
Lemmy aggressively wants to correct my numbering scheme. Could we just scrap markup formatting entirely on this platform? It fucks up more than it helps.
There are socialized individuals that can be handled by their trainers, but yeah they're not house cats, they haven't spent thousands of years adapting to humans, and they will casually maul you.
Why say "enshittificate" when "enshittify" will do?
Do you speak buttcheek?
