My first new Trek was TNG, which I enjoyed, along with DS9. Then, I just lost interest and didn't stick with anything until the Kelvin movies. That got me back in, though Discovery nearly killed it, then Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks reeled me back in.

The Kelvin movies are not the Trekkiest Trek media but they aren't horrible movies.

Of course, nothing has yet to dethrone GalaxyQuest as the best Star Trek movie of all time.

It's not inflation - it's price gouging by corporations. Wages aren't going up nearly as quickly as corporate profits.

Yeah, not very Welsh-sounding at all. On the other hand, dude was born in Wales to a Welsh father, so as long as he is focused on helping Wales and the Welsh people, that's what matters.

I'm fortunate in that my city the cinema is never very crowded. I saw Dune 2 opening weekend and it was only one-third full. It's not bad paying and feeling like I have the place to myself.

I already have my tickets for the Ghostbusters and Godzilla movies.

Though, the last really enjoyable theatre experience I had was going to a pre-release showing of "Shang-chi" - a theatre packed full of fans enjoying a fun movie. I miss that type of experience.

The truth is irrelevant to Trump and his sycophantic MAGAts.

So, is Bob's Boat Oars hiring?

Execs to staff: "Skadoosh!"

Would you be okay with a porn website requiring a copy of your government identification and then turning your viewing data over to the government?

Do you trust the websites and government to not get breached or release data?

Or is this Mike Johnsons burner account and it's not enough to know what porn his son is watching?

Until a Trekkie walks into a school or supermarket and kills a bunch of folks with his cosplay tricorder, it's not fandom. It's violent insecurity and idiocy masquerading as bravery.

That's probably a good thing, though.

That sounds like a fun project.

 

New member here. I've been using an electric scooter as my primary means of transportation for about a year and have really enjoyed it.

I'm working on getting deeper into making my own micro evs so I was thrilled when I stumbled upon this community.

Looking forward to it!
