The way I discovered Team Fortress, the original mod for Quake, was because I just happened to join a server running TF and had to spend all day downloading the files from the server on a 28.8k modem so I could play on it, and when I finally got to play, I was greeted with a super racist map called Cross the Border where one team had to reach a goal point on the other side of a giant wall, another team was trying to stop them, and a 3rd team that could only spawn as snipers in two small towers on the wall whose goal I don’t even remember.

I was extremely confused but God damn was it fun.

I didn’t notice for a while that by default the camera on my Pixel 8 was using a filter that makes your eyes and lips bigger. Every time I open the camera, I have to turn off the filter because there’s no way to change what the default filter is.

“How’d you know he was a Karen?”

“'E ain’t got shit all over 'im.”

The Grinch stood smiling before the house on Crook Lane,

For soon he knew he would be snorting some premium cocaine!

This is giving me a tromboner.

All of the above.

“Isn’t it weird how the chef always seems to recommend the most expensive item on the menu?”

Voyager at least had the excuse of “we might run outta gas.”

There’s one where Barclay turns himself into a supercomputer and breaks the theoretical limits. But, IIRC, it’s in one of the last couple seasons.

How can he be wanted when they already have him?

Did he escape and I just missed that news? 🤨

Alright, I’m ready for the Feats of Strength!

I am easy. Simply don’t give me a choice, because otherwise I’ll be hit by choice paralysis. Order for me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

“That’s a man, man!”

“Austin, that’s my mother!”

“Well you have to admit, she does look a bit man-ish…”

Accurately describes my thoughts at really any given time. Smoking weed at least mutes the volume on it.

Makes me wonder why they didn’t make the ship strong enough that it was capable of sustaining 9.9. Also: they’ve broken the warp barrier like 2 or 3 times and the ship was fine. 🤷🏻‍♂️

¡Ay dios mio!

Only Etsy artists, huh?

You really haven’t paid attention or you’re brainless.

Except anyone with a fucking brain who has been paying attention can see that actually happening with AI. It’s utter garbage that barely works, and it has been used to replace actual people or other tools that do work.

This isn’t about being against the advancement of technology. The technology itself fucking sucks. We can do better.
