Song being referred to is Big Balls by ACDC

ACDC likes to sing about two things: rock & roll, and balls.

A little prank from his uncle, Poseidon.

It’s uh… his grieving process?

I wish I could take credit for this one.

Welp, this will be stuck in my head all weekend.

I just now realized why there were so many weed posts today…

Kirk’s overworked kidneys:

How thoughtless of them! I know a comic strip they could read to learn better manners.

And then he went on his way.

There’s occasional goofy humor, but the “dad jokes” like this are just made up for the meme template.

(also for what it’s worth, I always recommend starting where it all began: with the original!)

I truly think most people would be receptive to the idea if they could just hear about it. The big corporate sites have so many problems.

Our two biggest obstacles in my opinion: a) the “instances” setup is mildly confusing for new users. b) Once you get here, the predominant culture is pretty homogenous and, to put it politely, politically intense.

Nice. We definitely need stuff like this to get the message out there that alternatives exist.

I’m the same way. The stakes are what make success rewarding.

There is precedent:

I think it does a good job of showing the reality of how clunky integration of different groups can be, and how even in a future where humans have “solved” racism amongst themselves, it’s not a lesson that can be buried with the past yet.

The frustrations that the crew has with Spock’s behaviors that are baffling to them, and vis versa, how Spock feels (and frequently verbalizes) about what he thinks are human failings, are very real reflections of how different groups learn to understand each other better. The friction of their interactions is the point, as well as showing that they are incredibly loyal to each other and care about each other’s wellbeing at the end of the day.

This is the heart of Star Trek, in my opinion - seeing them actively grow together despite their occasional rude outbursts and misunderstandings.

I had to look up the exact exchange, because this line always makes me laugh too. Her tone, lol

KORBY: You think I could love a machine?

CHAPEL: Did you?

Start where it all began! The original is a fun watch.

If it elicits a groan, it’s peak dad humor.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t!

Although it would be so old to them that it would be like us making a swordfighting game about Macbeth or something.
