I'm enjoying DS9 more that I did the first time through. The story isn't as good as TNG and neither is the acting but the characters are more believable as real people and I laugh way more than I did watching TNG. I will not be rewatching voyager.
Things like film grain are acceptable for flashbacks sequences and Vignette to accentuate a blow to the head or drowning are fine. Heck even lens flare could be used but only to show that the point of view is through a camera BUT they should have to obtain a permit for every instance they are used.
And what is it about putting lensflare in video games? do these people just never go outside? do they not understand that lensflare is a bad thing? its a anti-immersion artifact, a reminder that you are looking through a lens. If these fuckers ever touched grass, they would realize that lensflare doesn't happen IRL. stupid nerds.
You should apologize to the Christmas lover for picking at the fraying threads at the end of their rope.
"I'm sorry I offended you when we last talked. As a neuro-divergent individual I forget that most people need holiday festivities to give them a sense of short term hope. Like a candle in the pitch black of a long tunnel, Christmas looks like a light at the end of the tunnel, it breaks up the brutal reality that there is no end in sight, no long term plan to fix the mounting stresses of every day life, but there is always the the next candle. Christmas is the brightest of those candles and I made it flicker, I was insensitive to your mental health and coping mechanisms and I am sorry for that."
Let him talk for a bit and then go off about how the election was pointless to start with because both parties only represent the interests of the super rich. He just watched the 2 evilest people in the world fight about who's version of genocide and mass suffering to implement and he cares that one side might have cheated.
Then tell him president haris says "stand back and stand by." He should go occupy the capitol building to support the woman who promised to have "the most lethal military in the world."
ring ring "You've reached Bar Warehouse. My name is Dave how can I help you?... No I'm sorry we really don't have anything lower than that... Yeah I'm really sorry. Is there anything else I can help you with today?... Ok then have a nice day."
Coughing addiction is a thing (not saying that's what you have but maybe?) A family member had a cough that never went away. After a few months they mentioned it to their doctor but there was nothing wrong other than an inflamed throat from coughing. Doc said it was all in their head. They had to use will power to just quit coughing. It took them a couple weeks of really focusing on not coughing and then they were fine.
