Seer of the tapes! Knower of the episodes!

  • Pick your champion

    Jump

  • My champion:

  • Chaotica still appears mostly monochrome

    Jump

  • Bride of Chaotica is my all time favorite Voyager episode. The cast all seem to be having so much fun with it, especially Rayner/Chaotica himself. The scene where Lunzak shoots Janeway and it just bounces off (cuz holodeck safeties) and she ad libs "ha, you're no match for Arachnia!" is just so perfect. Satan's Robot is hilarious. And I love how they merge the Chaotica-style music and Star Trek theme for the end-of-episode musical sting.

  • You don't go out looking for a job dressed like that? On a weekday?

  • What is your oldest living presence on the World Wide Web?

    Jump

  • My Yahoo email address is 27 years old.

  • Whats your advice to the younger folks of Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Start saving for old age now. It might seem like a long way off, and you might not have much money right now to begin with, but being young and poor is way better than being old and poor.

  • I was on social media before web browsers existed. I am Legion.

  • I sold gmail invitations on ebay.

  • By Grabthar's hammer!

    Jump

  • I prefer Babylon 9: The Next Iteration.

  • The bathroom terrorizers! 😱

    Jump

  • If you had a small part from a song play every time you entered a room with other people, what would you want your theme to be?

    Jump

  • Realistically, that would get annoying pretty fast and I'd soon learn to hate any song I chose. So I'd pick 4′33″, which is four minutes and 33 seconds of silence.

    But otherwise I'd pick "One Bad Tank", from the video game Left4Dead2. It's the song that plays when the boss enemy enters a particular map.

    Cardassian bathrooms are the worst

  • How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?

    Jump

  • Man it sure is crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide.

  • Under the most ideal circumstances, how 'clean' is drinkable tap water by the time it reaches our taps?

    Jump

  • It's pretty much as clean going into the pipe as it is coming out. Water pipes are kept pressurized so that any cracks or breaks push water out instead of letting contaminants in.

  • What car did you learn to drive in?

    Jump

  • My mom's early 90's minivan. I think it was a Voyager.

  • Acceptable loss.

    Jump

  • I bet they have good weed, though.

  • When it’s none of your business, you should keep scrolling.

    Jump

  • Why is privacy important? Be specific.

    Jump

  • "Privacy" in the modern sense is less about protecting you from personal embarrassment or financial loss, and more about protecting society from the dangers of mass data collection.

    Historical examples of mass datasets that were misused:

    • The Nazis used demographic records (birth, death, marriage records, etc.) to identify Jews and other undesirables in conquered countries.
    • Japanese Americans were identified for internment in part through illegal use of census information.
    • The Rwanda genocide was facilitated by tribal information being printed on drivers licenses.

    In none of these examples were the data collected for the evil purposes it was eventually used for. In some cases, the evil purposes were completely forbidden by the rules governing the data, but they were used anyway.

    Information is a form of knowledge. Knowledge is power. And power in the wrong hands is dangerous.

  • What is your favorite quote, proverb, or piece of wisdom?

    Jump

  • When in doubt, shut up.
