Yeah, my Star Trek knowledge starts and ends with the movies (both the OG Trilogy and the two Abrams films), so most of these meme might as well be in Klingon. But everyone else is having so much fun that it’s fun laugh along like I understand the jokes.
On a related note, if I wanted to get onto Star Trek, what series does everyone recommend starting with?
Nobody said you have to get excited about it
The title of the post is “Seriously. The fuck is wrong with you [for not caring about space]?”

Fascinating! It never would have occurred to me that the sentence was worded ambiguously until you pointed it out, but your interpretation is 100% valid. English is a strange language.
Yeah, 144hz makes a significant difference for competitive FPS games (especially fast paced ones like Overwatch), but I hardly notice a difference when playing single player or PvE oriented games.
Hell, on some games (e.g. Borderlands 3 and CP2077) I actually prefer to play on my 60hz monitor since a smooth 60hz is much more enjoyable IMO than an inconsistent 100-144hz experience. My computer is admittedly pretty old though.

A. They might have really liked the flavor and/or mechanics on the UA version and the homebrew version was different enough that it wasn’t as interesting to them
B. OP might have taken long enough researching Mythic and it’s alternatives that the player had time to reconsider their choice. The player might have been split between the two anyway
C. The player might have realized that running a homebrew/UA class was going to be a lot of extra work for themselves and/or the GM, so they decided to do something easier
EmiliaTheHero@possumpat.ioto College Football@fanaticus.social•NCAA investigating Wolverines for sign stealingEnglish4·2 years agoYour first two examples open up more opportunities for outplays. The opposing team can recognize that you have picked up on their patterns and then run fake-out plays to catch you off guard. Sign stealing just allows you to know exactly what the other team is about to do and there is no opportunity for them to fake you out. (Other than switching to a new set of signs, but learning signs is boring for the players and not entertaining for the audience).
To equate it to poker: Your first two examples are similar to learning one of your opponents tells. If you start to exploit their tell, they can start faking it to force you to fold or place a bad bet. Sign stealing is like taking a peak at their cards
One could argue that Tolkien is an enemy to the trees. [Warning unverified sources and very rough maths lie below]
- The LOTR Trilogy has sold 150 million copies, and the Hobbit has sold 142 million source
- Each LOTR book has a (very rough) average of 430 pages, while the Hobbit has ~360. This totals to 115,620,000,000 pages printed
- The average tree creates ~20,000 sheets of paper source
This means Tolkien is responsible for the deaths of at least 5,781,000 trees. The Ents would not be happy
EmiliaTheHero@possumpat.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What cheap tool/gadget do you use that greatly improves your daily life?1·2 years agoI personally really love my Babish Chef’s knife. I generally avoid buying content creator merch, but all the reviews I read for the knife seemed overwhelming positive for the price point
Yeah, that seems like a useless benchmark for judging a search engine
That works better in text, but doesn’t come across as well in spoken word

Right, and in most American dialects they are pronounced the same. Whereas Centimeter is pronounced differently and does not have an “ometer”
EmiliaTheHero@possumpat.ioto ADHD@lemmy.world•ProTip: If you're cooking something, set a timer.English4·2 years agobecause I didn’t want a single purpose appliance when I could make it in a pot.
In case anyone else has the same issue, you can make rice just as easily in an electric pressure cooker (e.g. Instapot) which has a much wider use case.
Although, I’ve never used an actual rice cooker, so I can’t testify to the difference in quality
