De-umbrage yourself - in Star Trek lore the world was a complete mess in 2025. The future Roddenberry envisioned could still happen, we just won’t be alive to see it. Which I agree is a bummer! :(

klemptor@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•France: Gisele Pelicot to face court again due to appealEnglish20·24 hours agoWhat a piece of shit. If you don’t have enthusiastic consent you don’t have sex. You don’t just take somebody’s word for it that their drugged and nonresponsive wife is cool with you fucking her. Jesus christ.
This argument dates back to the '80s, so we’re talking TOS & TNG vs the original trilogy. I would argue they’re not even really the same genre. Star Trek is proper scifi. Star Wars is action/adventure with scifi dressing.
I’m biased because I love Star Trek. But also I like Star Wars. It doesn’t have to be either-or, especially because it’s apples vs oranges.
Yeah I hate that word so much. It’s so grating.
It’s not a turn of phrase, but i really hate the word “y’all”. It’s awful, like nails on a chalkboard for me.

klemptor@startrek.websitetoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•What other great opening lines do you know?.English15·1 day agoI especially like that line in Neuromancer because at the time he wrote it, his audience would’ve understood he meant TV snow. Meaning the sky was overcast, giving a gloomy mood. But younger people now will think of that featureless blue that modern TVs use, which indicates a beautiful cloudless day. Totally different mood!

It’s not unheard of.
I’m sorry for your loss, he looks like he was a sweet boy 🤍
Awww 💚
The sexier the source, the more I trust it. I mean just look at this man:
I’ll believe anything he tells me!
klemptor@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you found someone attractive, would you date them if you found out they were trans?6·13 days agoIf I were single and they* were secure, then sure. I really feel for a lot of trans people because I know the transition can cause a lot of insecurity. And that’s absolutely valid and I don’t want to be unfeeling about it, but at the same time I know myself and I don’t want a partner who is insecure and potentially overly emotionally needy, because I’m not good at providing that kind of support. So I’d be fine dating a trans person who is confident and secure, no matter where in the transition the person is.
* I say ‘they’ because I’m fine dating either men or women, not because I want to invalidate anyone’s gender :)
I just took mine off and now nothing else can happen tonight.
I feel this!
That’s because sighthounds have teeny tiny dried up corn kernels for brains :)
