This is why I own most of star trek on dvd. Cant take that away from me.

I was so disappointed when the HD remasters stopped. I snapped up TOS, Animated, TNG, and all the movies on Blu-ray (replacing DVDs in the case of the movies and TNG) despite them being available on Netflix at the time. I was really looking forward to catching up with DS9 and Voyager the same way since I was only able to catch them sporadically when they were airing... but no, it seems these are doomed to remain in SD purgatory.

Live with underlying existential dread for decades. Watch as "doing what you love" becomes "hating what you used to love because you're forced to do it so that there's enough numbers in the computer to prove that you're worthy of continued existence." Contemplate the pointlessness of it all on a daily basis. Be reminded that your feelings are invalid because "other people have it worse" every time the topic comes up. Nod listlessly as "successful" people tout their own hard work while ignoring any factor luck and privilege played, then tune out when they shift into the dissonant duet of "I succeeded because I am exceptional" and "anyone can do the same if they just work harder."

Wake up the next morning and realize there's roughly 30 more years of this, barring a massive coronary or aneurism or something.

My thought process went a little something like:

Holy shit that's a sweet photo, is it shopped? AI?

Omg those dresses are gonna be covered in dog hair.

Why would it be illegal to use a dog as a flower girl?

...OH! 🤦‍♂️

While others complained about the glass ceiling, you took your fight to that pesky floor. It may have eaten you alive, but for a brief moment in time you were a shining example of boldly going. Here's to breaking new ground, Wise Lieutenant. 🍻

Nunnally from Code Geass came to mind... but then again you said realistic setting so she probably doesn't qualify.

We just watched that one last night after a week and a half of dealing with heavy shit that still isn't done yet. Not really the episode I would have chosen to dip the toes back in after trauma, but that's what was up next. Still a great ep.

I went to share the link with a nugget fiend that I know, and it just spun for a while. Normally it embeds the gif. So I tried to share the gif manually... attachment too large. Saved it... 88MB? Holy bejeezus.

Crystal clear though.

I don't like it, but watching the flush can save a whole lot of pain. Clogs suck.

For as phenomenal is the game is, we sure are getting some lame cop-outs in place of tying up loose ends.

Edit: looks like the spoiler tags render correctly on the web page, but not all apps support it.

tl;drIt was magic and just disappeared and people are used to magic so... yeah shit's gone, yo
