I think you meant to say 40 year old queer shitposters
The really scary part is that it’s heavily implied that the cube that shows up in the alpha quadrant is the same cube that encountered the enterprise in the delta quadrant. The borg cube never stopped chasing them.
It’s possible humanity never gets the chance to encounter the Borg without Q’s interference.
The Q, believing themselves to be the most superior beings in existence, see themselves as moral guardians of the universe. Seeing as the Q have the same non-linear sense of time that the Bajoran wormhole aliens have then it’s safe to assume that John de Lancie’s Q actually has seen the future where he doesn’t intervene - and decided that doing so was the best course of action for the galaxy. Given his fondness for humanity, and Picard specifically, I think it’s safe to assume that the future where he doesn’t intervene results in humanity being completely decimated by the Dominion (the Defiant was meant to fight the Borg originally, as an example) - the results of which would have irreparably changed the entire Milky Way galaxy for the worse. Not a great look for our supposed moral guardians.
This idea gets a bit messy, but it could also have just been an elaborate part of the trial. We’ve seen from Voyager episodes that the majority of the continuum has slipped into a sort of eternal stupor, jaded by their infinite existence in a pocket dimension. Given that, I think humanity had already been deemed guilty by the continuum before TNG even starts (from our perspective). The only reason for the trial even existing is that John de Lancie’s Q disagreed with the continuum’s decision and took it upon himself to act as an advocate for humanity. Perhaps he looked further into the future than the rest of the Q, or visited some alternate realities and saw what humanity could become with a push or two in the right direction. Given that humanity eventually “fails” to convince the rest of the continuum that they are in fact more than a savage child-race, the Q created the paradox in “All Good Things…” that would have caused humanity to never have existed at all. John de Lancie’s Q knew he had to take drastic measures to show that humanity was able to be more than what the continuum believed them to be. One of those drastic measures being the encounter with the Borg, looking to give Picard an opportunity to demonstrate humility.

Woah awesome. Watching it now and this guy could have been on Star Trek, damn! He’d fit right in.
This is the only reason I’m not stressing over never using my PS4. I’ve already tested it with GoldHEN
In the US the owner of the vehicle would likely try and sue the owner of the rocks.
It was originally made as a mixer for whiskey!

1·2 months agoOne of the definitive conditions for ceasing hiccups is CO2 retention in the body, the target of which is around 60 mmHg of CO2 in venous blood. The fight-or-flight response induced by acute hypercapnia can effectively suppress hiccups because their original nature is highly likely to be aberrations in the swallowing reflex, which is associated with the parasympathetic nervous system.

I was just looking around at the code for Lemmy and Voyager and I agree it’s 100% a web frontend thing. Take this with a grain of salt because I’m not a programmer, just a long time tech guy, but it looks like Lemmy uses
pict-rsas it’s media backend andpict-rshas a configuration to transcode images into.avifto save space as of version 0.5.
Edit: I’ve just noticed that my picture uploaded as a
PNGand now I’m even more confused.
Edit: It’s a Lemmy thing.
I believe thatAVIFis the preferred format on iOS devices? It’s the still image version ofAV1(AV1 Image File Format) and it tends to have better quality per size thanJPEG.
Find someone who looks at you the way Kurn looks at Picard.
Lol I love his line just before it where he’s like “how old is this? It looks like it has been lying in the sun for some time”
I’m guessing it’s a white gravy instead of a brown gravy, so colored from cream and flour. I’ve only ever had brown gravy and lingonberries with my swedish meatballs, but then I’ve also only ever had them at Ikea which I’m sure isn’t the best representation.
Oh okay, neat. I wonder if they took some inspiration from the original Trill design when deciding where to put the face ridges.
Crazy that they would probably have gotten away with this if they’d used some sort of edible pigments instead of lead paint.
