They can safely ignore Voyager. And Q flat out told Picard in the finale that the trial never ends.

There is one other problem with bringing Q back. John de Lancie has aged much since his last appearance in Voyager(did he make one in Enterprise). I will be obvious that he is much older. Qs are supposed to be omnipotent. I find it hard to believe they age.

I have to say I have a bad feeling about bringing back Picard.

I have a bad feeling about Star Trek in general anymore. Once they started with the Kelvin timeline, they never should have returned to the original. The whole point of creating the Kelvin timeline was to start over and to leave the original universe to rest in peace. But now they have gone back to it. It is bound to confuse fans just getting into Trek. I think the continuity is so messed up and confused, I don’t think it can be fixed. I think I am done with it. Sorry.

I never owned an N64 (or any Nintendo console other than the GameCube for a brief time). We had my mom’s old Atari 2600 until the first PlayStation came out.

But I played GoldenEye a bunch on friends’ systems, and enough Mario Kart to know that this game was far superior:

Come at me.

Ah, the good old Atari 2600. We had one when I a kid. In fact, we still do. It is in a box somewhere with all the cartridges. Haven’t it in years, I doubt it would still work.

Walmart is open 24hrs.

Not all of them. And yes, really, and yes, I’m sure.

As for mfms experience I don’t really know why updating the register would have taken more than a few minutes, and if it was going to be more than that they should have paged it overhead so shoppers would know. Are you sure they didn’t do that?

They didn’t do that. There was no warning. I’m 100% sure.

Are you 100% sure that you did not enter the store at a time when the store was not technically yet open?

If so, you should be able to tell me what time you went into the store and what time the store you went went into technically opens.

I went there late at night/early in the morning because it’s the only place that’s open and I picked up all the stuff I need and then get to the front and the bitch working there said that she’s updating all of the registers and can’t check me out for another half hour and then she stared at me for a while (didn’t apologize or anything or offer any kind of solution), so I stood there for a second thinking. I was kind of stunned. I don’t even know why you’d let anyone in the store without a warning if they can’t buy anything. So I said I’m not going to stand there for a half hour and I was really tempted just to steal all the stuff I had picked out just because I was pissed off but I didn’t so I just left it there and walked out and then I had to drive around looking a different store that’s open 24 hours and then pick out everything I needed again (and I actually forgot something which is technically my fault but I hadn’t forgotten to get it at Walmart so if they wouldn’t have fucked me over then I would’ve gotten, but instead I have to go out again), and it ended being a tiny bit cheaper than Walmart would’ve been anyway. So what’s the point of going to that monopolistic shithole? Fuck that place. I always hate going there. Why the fuck do you want to subject yourself to a Walmart, Collipso? Why would you always have wanted to go to one? Haven’t you heard from everyone that’s ever been there that it fucking sucks?!

Is it possible that the store wasn’t open yet? Is it possible that they allowed you to be in the store even though technically you shouldn’t have in there yet? Maybe they thought allowing to hangout in there until the store was open was wiser than ordering you out and maybe having to fight with you? Can you recall what time this took place and find out what time the store opens on that day of the week?

Agree about people being in the way. During rush hour it’s inevitable but there are the idiots constantly changing lanes and speeding up on top of people as if they are going to get to their destination much faster when they see traffic is jammed up to the horizon. In actuality they slow down everyone including their like-minded idiots.

What I can’t stand is that it seems like I always get behind people that drive too slow. I think they are not sure where they are going, or distracted by cell phone use, or have lost the ability to drive as reasonable speed, or like going 10 miles under the speed limit or something else or combination of the above.

So… about that religious freedom stuff that’s been going on lately. Y’know how I said it was more a license to discriminate than anything? Well, how do we define this springing up in the wake of the religious liberty movement?

(NOTE: Despite the headline, this article is mostly about TERFs, Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists. Lesbians themselves aren’t really a focal point.)

Well, they have the same right to form a church as any other group.

Why do you always want to play the apologist for right wing craziness like this or Alex Jones?

Just who were you talking to here? You posted right after Frink. Frink may be many things, but if you think he is an apologist for Alex Jones, you have to be drunk.

I was talking to Mrebo.

Also in response to Mrebo, I was obviously fucking joking.

Oh.

You have mentioned multiple times that I’m calling for violence and death and I think that’s absurd.

um, what? I haven’t said any such thing.

Come on warb he’s talking to Mrebo again, and this time he explicitly said so.

He said he had been talking to Mrebo, but in that post he had been talking to me. He even quoted me. How could I know he was suddenly switching to address Mrebo?

Edit: he added this after I had made my previous post.

i actually don’t think luke’s going to be a force ghost in IX. not sure what he’s going to be though, but it’s basically one of the only things i’m looking forward to at this point.

If he is not a force ghost, what else could he be? He’s dead.

Maybe not. Luke’s mechanical hand should been left behind when he vanished.

This is the first time I have seen anyone try to argue that Luke didn’t actually die.

I don’t know how a person can be considered any kind of Original Trilogy fan if that person outright hates the concluding chapter and consequently finds the trilogy as a whole to be a flop, but whatever.

I don’t how someone could remotely call the oot a flop.

A flop for me.

So you actually think oot is a flop?
