Yeah that’s basically your classic American barber. Gossipy, usually bored, willing to hang around, joke and talk. That’s what I love about actual barber shops, guys in my neighborhood will just hang around there too if their friends/neighbors are getting a cut. It’s usually a one hour experience minimum, even though the cut takes 15 min and cost $12.

I always thought the joke was that after almost 400 years, the barbershop experience was the same. You could replace Capt Picard with Andy Griffith and Mot with Floyd and no one would blink.

Oh for sure, but if I have to have someone who’s entire duty is ships morale, it’s gonna be the bitty who rolls more joints than Willie Nelson.

Also, you get to pick your bridge crew? That’s pretty cool. Mine would be

Coms - Lt beckett “the fuck did you just say to me?!” Mariner

Counselor - Cmdr “pass the blunt” Bev Crusher

Tactical - Cptn “what prime directive?” Janeway

Medical - the “please turn me off” EMH

Sciences - Lt of the winter constellations D’vona Tendi

Helm - Cmdr "I wanna be a real boy!“ Data

Chief engineer - Cmdr Trip “that vulcan has a phat ass” Tucker

Ops - Cheif Miles “don’t make me put you in the pattern buffer” O’Brian

First officer - Cmdr Will “Trombone Longy” Riker

Designated whipping post - Ensign Harry Kim

"Captain, I merged too soon and sideswiped a brid of prey. General Martok is hailing, he requests our NCC ID and insurance info. "

Interesting. I just started watching new trek after finishing Ds9. Loved lower decks, haven’t seen prodigy.

Hold on let me put on my picky nerd hat. OK, should Odo be part of the Kobayashi Maru since he was never technically a starfleet officer, just a security officer employed by the Bajoran Militia? I could see him at tactical, but helm? OK nerd rant over.

Is that odo at the helm?

Good way to store your binary explosives in a cute, convenient package though!

Was it you?

Always reminded me of oompa loompas

It’s literally not. Especially if the alternative is not voting at all.

It’s hardly a party no one’s heard of and yea you would need a majority (duh?). But by all means, don’t vote with your principles; treat it like a strategy game and keep perpetuating a broken 2 party duopoly. That’s been a great way to affect change over the last century.

If there were ever a time to vote 3rd party, it’s now. You may not agree with Chase Oliver’s views on everything, but he is at least a reasonable sounding human being who’s willing to compromise.

So… PayPal?

Seriously can Apple users not use their nfc payments from any app already? That’s like decade old shit now.

In science, alcohol IS a solution

Hell yeah Futurama sleepers ftw. There used to be a sub for it.

Anything but jurassic bark 😭

And they quit making the compact. I rocked 3 or 4 new old stock Xperia xz1 for YEARS. Smallest phones I could get at the time. Now I’m doing the same thing with the s10e which I still feel is too big.

I find it alot more intuitive than finale. Been years since I used it seriously, but the layout used to remind of ms word. Menus and options were where you expect them to be. I’m not sure the keyboard shortcuts are as good as finales out of the box, but they can be set to be really good.

Ikr, they’re delicious

Ever use sibelius?

Right? Now do it again with Four non Blondes
