What a fantastic resource!

I want this on a shirt.

The thing is… do they? We don’t know that they’re actually referencing anything at all. I always thought that, once you got the vibe, you could contribute to the conversation with the phrasing and use the implied story of the phrase for the context.

I might say to you, “Kyle, when Janet left him.” You don’t need to know who Kyle or Janet are to infer that this might not be a good thing. Alternatively, I might say that, and mime like I’m wiping sweat from my brow as of relieved, and it might change the meaning.

We have no real way of knowing what history they might be referring to. Or if there even is one.

I’m sure Riker would be interested in observing this mix-up. He seems like he might be willing to boldly go.

Man this whole thread has covid.

How did we get covid at the same time?

Woke up with no sense of smell and very limited taste. The woooorst.

Holy shit. It’s been so long since I thought of them.

This is it. This is the crossover I didn’t know I’ve been waiting for.

I always thought we really missed out on a chance for there to be a more intense overwriting of Ezra with Jadzia, or one of the other hosts. She seemed so meek! Give me a St. Alia situation, where the current host can’t stand against the memories of previous ones, and make it more compelling than taboos and stuff!

Crapfully.

Take some time for you.

I’ve lost a lot of people. A lot of friends. And you’re right, the internet is full of angry people who just want to be angry, but moreover, it’s chaotic and unpredictable. It sounds like you can use some extra grace, some extra protection, and some extra kindness. You would give it to anyone else in your position, so it’s the least you can do for you.

We haven’t really met, but don’t become a statistic. There’s not many of us left who made it. Each time we lose one more, that means those of us left have that much more to work for, but what we work for becomes that much more precious.

The world can handle itself for a couple days. Rest and regroup. Everything will still be there when you’re ready for it (if you ever are!)

Stamets, it’s not like you to let the trolls get to you. I noticed yesterday but didn’t feel like you’d appreciate that from a near stranger but it’s even worse today.

You good, friend?

(Addendum for any reader; I know that culturally, pet names are seen as insulting in other parts of the world, but in my line of work and my part of the country, I had to delete like 10 “sugar,” “honey,” “darlin” and "love"s. Please keep in mind that it’s meant well if you see someone like me slip up in the future.)

This was uncalled for, and a quick look through your comment history indicates that you’re either a person who thrives on taking an opposing viewpoint for the sake of being an oppositional pain, or a troll. I’m going to go with the latter.

Dissonant discourse has value but you’re intentionally inflammatory so from me, to you, kindly fuck right off. Try and learn something from this. I will engage you no further.

That’s a hell of an epthitet. Well said. Damn.

All power to the engines.

It’s the alliteration. Really sells it.

This got me.

Well done.

The_Picard_Manuever, care to deny these scintillating allegations?

I support your mask theory! Well said!

Wait, is it still homoerotic if Q is a being beyond gender? I have so many questions and zero interest locating the people who can answer them.

Or even me. I didn’t even proofread it. So it’s entirely unvetted!
