Dibs

NJ has a lot: Lopatacong, Paramus, Manahawkin, Absecon, Piscataway, Manalapan, Cinnaminson, Hackensack, Parsippany, Teaneck, Manasquan, Raritan - just to name a few!

I don’t know if Gen Z still uses it, but it’s a common thing in Gen X. “Dibs” is what you say to claim things for yourself , e.g., “I’ve got dibs on the last piece of pizza”.

This is so cute

I love '60s music - it’s the majority of what I currently listen to - but I’m not sure how many lemmy users will be interested in that era.

I promise, I’ll believe

What beautiful, bittersweet memories. Thank you for sharing them.

Wolfenstein and Hover.

The rhyme goes:

I see London
I see France
I see Clark Kent’s underpants

You can see his tighty whites in the image

Clark Kent is Superman’s alter ego. Superman has “super” vision, and mistakenly thought the other character did too.

Ooh yeah I’ve heard people speak highly of The Orville, and I keep forgetting to check it out! If I’m not mistaken, it’s got Penny Johnson (Kasidy Yates) in it, right?

Ugh… I’ve been so reticent to watch modern Trek. I’ve heard such bad things about Discovery and have never been tempted to try it. But I really love the TNG era, so I gave in and watched Picard season 1…man, that was a mistake. Too modern, too snarky, too fucking meta. I swore off modern Trek. But then I read loads of threads saying that SNW was a return to form, and that it felt the most like Star Trek out of all the modern series. So even though I knew I might hate it, yesterday I watched the first three episodes. I’m already so annoyed with it. Super meta, the cast is for the most part way too young, and it’s loose or completely disregarding toward canon (yeah, Spock and T’Pring having sex without Pon Farr… give me a break!), and plotlines that make no sense at all. I’m so annoyed with it. I get that '80s/'90s TV was too earnest for today’s audiences, but SNW feels like a parody of Star Trek, not a worthy successor. So far, nothing feels like actual high stakes. There really isn’t serious drama that I actually care about. When shows are too snarky and meta, it makes it really hard for me to connect with them.

I do recognize that first seasons can be rocky, so I’ll at least stick with it through the end of the season. But I can’t lie, it’s off to a terrible start. I wish we could have shows more in keeping with the tone and themes of TNG and DS9 (or even Voyager!).

This looks really interesting!

You could mark one of the blades with red or blue paint so that you know you’re measuring the same one every time.

Do you not have a VPN?

Same for Baa Baa Black Sheep ;)

Oh man I miss Kools.

I wouldn’t say so - I can think of several counter examples off the top of my head: mold, wild, kiln

Or folk, or yolk

No, the rapist.

Yeah Lower Merion is rich. It’s where Kobe came from.
