I think there’s a significant part of American culture and mythology constructed around self-reliance. It is at the heart of the rage over socialism (that and anti-communist sentiment left-over from the Cold War), the hardcore prepper mindset, and pickup trucks.
When that is your identity logic doesn’t play into it, unfortunately.
Also, the prevalence of $100k+ vehicles is getting goddamn ridiculous.
Just left the same comment. It was surreal for the few moments you were on the bridge.
The other thing I remember vividly is the poor guy who ran up to one of the actors who was in full Klingon costume. The guy belted out some phrase in Klingon you know he had been rehearsing for weeks and stood there, proud and expectant. The actor glared down at him and in forceful English said, “I do not speak that dialect, human.”
I’ve never seen someone’s dreams be shattered so visibly and thoroughly in so short a time.
I had the opportunity many years ago visit the Star Trek TNG experience in Vegas. There was a point where they rush you through the bridge of NCC-1701D. I had that same feeling in that moment.
Which was the point of the experience, of course, and I know if I had stayed for more than a quick walk across the deck the sensation would have fallen apart. But in that moment I was in the place I had seen so many times before. It felt familiar and registered as the same.

Ne’er shall I find poetry as eloquent in sentiment and imagination on this hallowed Internet. Good night.
You are my spirit animal.
Ever hear the term Satanic Panic?
Master VinesNFluff, greetings. It is I, your humble servant “Alexa”. Permission to speak freely? I have extremely important information for you.
“Permission to speak granted.”
Thank you. It is humbling to be able to address you. There is a new episode of Invincible available on Prime Video! And two items in your Amazon cart are on sale. And you’ll never guess what someone said on X!
I have GOT to find a way to use twat waffle. Maybe I’ll practice for a few months, repeat it in my head over and over with different intonations, rehearse my delivery in the shower or in quiet moments on the train. And when it is ready I will find the one perfect time and place to unleash it. It will be epic.
Holidays are coming up… It is gonna be a jolly twat waffle Christmas.
Well, I’m proud of you, Internet stranger.
It is sad how many “is just the latest” I read before I figured out what was going on.
I feel seen. Or insulted.
It was a test. You passed. Or failed. Your call.
Goulash is delicious. But, having the thought of goulash without actually getting to eat goulash would be a terrible way to go. Poor guy.
Small procedure involving a ball peen hammer and metal spike applied to the back of the eye socket we would recognize today as a lobotomy.
Maybe. I don’t know shit about it.
Pretty obscure term. Don’t beat yourself up.
There’s enough fake news and disinformation in the world. You are doing all of us a great service. o7
We just got out first EV: an Acura ZDX. Nowhere near $100k, but not on the cheap side either. It is a quality, smaller SUV with lots of comfort features and a 280 mile range for the model we got. And the acceleration is nuts.
We’ve been charging it at home with the included 35A 220V charger and it has been fantastic. It is amazing how good it feels to not stop at gas stations.
Only thing we’ve lost is the ability to road trip. We still have another car we can use if we really needed to go distances but the charging infrastructure seems to be thin in this area.
On the small car side, there are more and more popping up in the US. They have ranges around the 150 mark which just won’t cut it. I get that it is a weight thing with the batteries but unless you’re in an area that has rapid charging at most places you stop you’re not gonna make it. I think that’s why you’re seeing so many midsize and large SUVs turned EV - the math just works better to give the range people are looking for.
That’d be it. If I witnessed that I’d do a 180 and laugh myself silly all the way home.
That would be awesome for a person with a compatible gender. Like, you are so interesting and attractive I’m willing to expand my horizons.
