Not the same word but in the many Filipino dialects, apparently there is no word for hike. All my relatives could only come up with the equivalent for “walk”.

This was known as “surprise day to goof off”.

Historians incorrectly discussing doom scrolling: Here we have a random Internet person discussing the popular method of playing the video game Doom on a PC, which the controls are modified for a scrolling click-wheel on a mouse can perform a rapid-fire shot from a weapon. It was rather unclear what they meant by asking the person reading what someone wanted them to do in replace of this.

I knew just from the mention of shampoo what video would be referenced.

🥹 Yes, I am crying.

EDIT:

I was thinking of the trans allegory. They wouldn’t like to realize that is what is symbolizes.

There is a new (not certain) platform called UpScrolled that people are moving to.

If this is The Matrix, then MAGA is gonna be really upset. They don’t even know it.

Exactly. My point is they didn’t get that.

I don’t think it was this game, maybe the first Ghost Recon but as a kid it was frustrating to play. I couldn’t get past the realism of the gunshots. I thought typically video game logic would be applied, letting me get shot many times before dying.

Just because he is from Florida does not mean you should ascribe the label. The rest of the country typically views such people as the worst of the worst in society, that should be endlessly mocked.

Especially the glasses bit. It was the plot point of multiple movies.

Did I miss something? What planet did USS Athena pickup cadets?

I find the original song odd. It was recorded to promote the Monterey International Pop Festival. Monterey is 120 miles north of San Francisco.

I saw the article proper.

Seems this is before the time jump in “Life, Itself”. At one point you see at space dock, D.O.T.s putting an A on the hull. Which is confusing because we only know of the addition of programmable matter in season 3 as being a refit. However we only get introduced to Starfleet Academy in season 4.

I’m gonna say this refit happened after T’Rina and Saur’s wedding.

There is the one line of dialogue stating Discovery is undergoing the refit.

Are they gonna feed Brawndo to the AI?

There is a sequence in New Moon that is a time jump of multiple seasons. There a literal like four blank pages that indicate the character, Bella, is in a catatonic-like state. She literally can’t form a response to what was occurring around her. Many readers assume this is a cheap way of doing a time jump but even the movie depicts Bella a catatonic state.

I recall we get a sense of internal monologue but everything coming from Edward’s POV is lacking any depth or emotion. When Bella speaks, it is monotone. If you’ve seen the movies you’d think Kristen Stewart was giving a deflected performance that might suggest some disinterest in the role. Not saying I enjoy the movies or the books (as an adult), but this performance to me is spot on for how Bella is depicted.

EDIT: Unrelated, the cars in the movies are not a product placement. Mayers wrote Edward driving a Volvo.

I don’t recall any suggestion of their intelligence. Just that whenever Edward attempted to “read” her mind, he could never glean a single thought. It was a blank void.
