“we cannot get out: the end comes soon we hear drums drums in the deep. They are coming”

My headcannon: having read the Absolutely 100% canon books “Q-zone, W-Strike, and Q-space”, my personal belief is that since Q is partially responsible for the entity in the center claiming to be god, Q decided to artificially speed up their journey to the barrier and back home. Nobody on the ship brought it up because nobody was even thinking about travel time in the middle of all that.

Well you see, the people in charge of tuning the replicator just need to be motivated by death, and then they’ll find a workaround for literally any shortcoming!

Cant replicate a phased electron catalyzer and we don’t have a backup? Well if you don’t, everyone on this ship and that planet are dead in 20 minutes, so just invert the hadron matrix and it won’t be a problem anymore!

(repeat every other season)

The only things it needs are power and base material.

The problem with complex things like starships and the like are some things can’t be replicated, they have to be manufactured, refined, or otherwise produced.

Gotta have something to cripple how overpowered they are.

Nobody needs/wants the white liberal to speak for them, but another voice in the crowd demanding something surely can’t be a bad thing?

Completely unrealistic.

The cops would have been there already dragging people out the doors to beat them away from the cameras inside.

As former enlisted, I wonder if at any point while floating to the ground they thought to themselves “holy shit, I’m gonna die in a desert for pedophiles, why did I go along with this?”

At least one gets to think twice for now, but I doubt they will.

That’s why they scream until they die. They held it in all that time.

Those aren’t the eggs I’m looking for.

However, could you assist me in locating a ham?

I’ve got a couple busted laptops and some loose memory floating around, I just need to find one of my working hdds.

Technically I have an extra one but it’s acting as my media drive right now and I don’t even have a backup of it…

I definitely want to make the switch BEFORE my current setup dies, since it’ll be easier to transfer/convert everything I can.

Lmao Tone is hard to read, I wasn’t upset so if I came across that way my apologies, I was just adding more info in response to points you had raised.

I would assume if they meant it as some kind of a dig, they wouldn’t accept the invitations to hammock with us. Their tone was friendly, it’s just not a term I’ve heard and given the different comments so far, it seems to be a mixed bag as to whether other people would consider it an insult or a compliment.

Really though given the context, I’m going to take it as a compliment even if it was meant as an insult.

I haven’t read it in full in well over 15 years, but that comment made me go find it.

I am not okay today if this is making me cry and I just woke up an hour ago…

I love it

And we are very CLOSE to winning! Just some more brave soldiers will die, but that’s what happens in war. We have secured victory and are winning and will win!

No joke, when I saw the thumbnail I was just about to go looking through my photos because my dog looks very similar (terrier Chihuahua mix so his snout is a little longer) and he loves wrapping up in my tortilla pattern blanket.

10/10 doggo

I have no job currently, my clothes are mostly 5+ years old with most of my stuff being around 10 years old from my last retail job when I got them discounted and on clearance, my car rolled off the line before I was conceived and has the damage that says it lives in deer country, and my food comes from wherever is cheapest.

And they all know these things since we talk about such things at meets along with basically every other topic. pretty much everyone is in the same boat, and with only one exception we all live with roommates and parents.

If you’re thinking of a 2010 hipster with a man-bun and Abercrombie clothes driving their Leaf from the iPhone store to the fancy food market where everything is 5x the price because someone put the word “organic” in front of “tomato”… I mean, imagine me however you wish, but we are definitely more the type to live in a log cabin we built ourselves away from any kind of technology. I like what gadgets I do have, but I’d trade them for “not living in capitalism hell” any day.

Lmao “upper”

I have no job currently and can’t afford more than basics for food, but thanks for making assumptions.

A bit more of a relatable explanation than UD gave me, and honestly I doubt it was meant negatively as most of the people in this group are very left leaning and while a few aren’t quite “paint a brick rainbow and smash a cop’s window” levels yet, they’re certainly closer than anyone else in my life. We have discussed camping so several at least enjoy outdoorsy stuff.

I like my gadgets if I could live in the woods with 15 other people and grow out own food and not have to worry about dying of gangrene I’d give all my things up in a heartbeat.

By this metric, I’ll be “crunchy” over “silky” any day of the week.

Oh man, urban dictionary is still going? I haven’t seen them in forever…

If that’s how they meant it… I mean, it’s pretty spot on.

I’ll take it as a compliment, then!
