Aww. That’s very sweet. Thank you <3

I appreciate that a lot! Right now is more just about coping, to be honest, but I’ll get to equilibrium eventually haha

That’s awesome! I’m glad you’re doing well! 😊

Either Lemmy or reddit. I think we’ve talked here a few times. How’ve you been?

Single best typo ever

I just want to apologize for being the person who asks questions and then doesn’t respond to the comments. I get overwhelmed D: but I’d never delete my post, what’s the purpose in that?

I’ll go fix mine too

They were referencing fascist, not f@ggot. Both refer to a bundle of sticks.

But now that it’s been brought up, and because I’m a little stoned and I’m looking for an excuse, I will share one of my favorite stories (that I sadly cannot remember the origin of, but possibly the Mahabharata)

A queen has 5 sons, and wants to teach them to rule together, to keep peace in the kingdom. She hands each son a stick, and tells them to break it. All the sticks break easily. Then she gathers 5 sticks and has each son attempt to break this bundle (f@ggot). Each son attempts and fails, before handing it to the next. When the last one fails, the queen tells her sons,

“Alone, each stick is weak and can be broken. But together, a f@ggot is unbreakable”

And all that is to explain why my next tattoo is just gonna be a tramp stamp of the words “unbreakable f@ggot” in fancy cursive on my lower back

That looks fricken amazing

You rock!

Oooh, that sounds really good. Yeah, looking forward to the post!

Ooh, how did it turn out?

Is that rice? I love me some bacon and rice with eggs

God, I wish I was the type of person who could afford to leave my town, much less my country. :/

Seconding the other person. I am deeply curious about learning about Cuba, whether you currently live there or not. I understand if you don’t want to talk openly because of flame wars in comment sections, but I’d love to DM, or move the conversation to a different community if needed.

Cannot believe I’m only now finding your channel! Watching the video as I type this, looking forward to the hasparat video, I’ve wanted to try it for years!

Yes. You’re right. Our healthcare system is absolutely bonkers bananas insane, and that’s before you calculate in the cruelty. And as US citizen, I strongly advise everyone who isn’t to avoid this country like the plague.

However, if I travel to Switzerland or Canada or Italy or wherever, as a tourist, I am not covered if I go in the hospital. I still need to carry travel insurance, and if I don’t, or if it doesn’t cover something, then those countries with their modern, sensible healthcare systems will charge me out of pocket, just like an American hospital. The difference is that in America, even the citizens aren’t covered by default, and the amounts are astronomical compared to other countries.

It’s a shitty system all around, and frankly, I genuinely believe that if it weren’t for America’s weird fetish for as much money as you can possibly choke on, we would probably have started building an actual universal healthcare system for the global community, so that you’re covered by default even when traveling. But like with most things, the right wing nonsense has held us so far back that that is so unlikely as to seem utterly impossible

The trouble with (sehlat sized) tribbles is that won’t remain 1 sehlat sized for tribble for long!

So fitting that Lwaxana is the one to ask this

Hi, Karim!

First off, so freaking cool of you to do this on Lemmy!

Second, I’ve noticed that Academy seems to be showcasing a lot of the rarer species in Trek and giving fans little glimpses into how they have been since their original debuts. What star trek species would you be most excited to see again in the show? I’m personally hoping for a Denobulan to make an appearance (hopefully more than one!).

And a twofer, cause I’m greedy: what is your favorite/least favorite part of working on the show?
