    I can’t wait to watch Strange New Worlds, but I’m saving it for now. And I love that the Voyager and Discovery themes are your go-to… because they’re the best ones! Haven’t even seen Discovery, but watched the intro and the theme song is excellent. And you’re correct, Janeway was morally right to seperate Tuvix. “Keep your shirt tucked in, go down with the ship, and never abandon a member of your crew”. Tuvix wasn’t a crew member, and her priority was to the both of them, not him alone… I’ll die on that hill too lol. But thank you, I’m excited that your excited for us! We’ve just been nerding out on it with no shame

    Last bit that’s an unpopular opinion: I hate Bones. I understand his merit as a balancing character and he occasionally does or says something that really makes you say, “hell yeah, good on ya McCoy!”… but fuck Bones. I’m sorry, I’m not sorry; I can’t help it. He’s just a dick as his whole personality, to the point that it seems like he was mean as an actual person, not just a character. “Fuck Bones” is a running joke between us at this point. I just need him to get off the bridge and go do his job for the love of god, you don’t have to insert your hardline opinions about everything; nobody asked you. “You’re a doctor damnit, not a command officer!”— End rant. But I’ve noticed I’m in the minority on that one lol. Bashir’s the sweetest doctor by a landslide though

    We’re just planning on moving now, cause we hate this place and there’s a multitude of problems: A/C can’t keep up with cooling the house, costs a fuck-ton in energy bills, the management company won’t fix shit and they’re a nightmare to work with. They tried to blame us for rats getting into the attic, when it was a known problem before. Took us 2 months to make them hire pest control, and then acted like we should be grateful for normal-upkeep, and not having rats get inside

    The neighborhood is actually nice, but the big-name management company are basically slum lords with a smile. But we had 3 dogs at the time and rental options were few, that had a fenced yard and would accept 3 dogs. 2 of them sadly passed this past year, and as much as I miss them and it wrenched my heart… we realized we could probably find something better now and not need such a large yard (our last dog is old too, and doesn’t romp in the yard anymore. He just enjoys little walks now)

    The stove is just one of the things I hate about this place and I don’t want to fix any of their shite, even for $10. We’re just making it work for now

    The stove in the place I rent. Only been living here maybe 2 years… and that thing is the devil. I thought it was just me getting used to an electric stove again. Nope, that thing is just a piece of shit.

    Nothing can simmer, nothing can be left unattended for more than a few minutes (at most), it can’t maintain anything close to a consistent temperature, and forget boiling water before you die of old age… I use an electric kettle just so I can boil noodles in less than 40 minutes

    Maybe it’s my pots?.. nope, I’ve tried. Maybe I’ll get better at using it?.. no, and at this point I wouldn’t even want to. It’s just a piece of shit. My mother-in-law is a great cook, and she was pissed when she burned smothered chicken on it… because she hasn’t burned smothered chicken in probably 20+ years; she confirms the stove is garbage

    Fuck that stove

    Thanks for hearing my rant, I feel a little better now

    Edit: I forgot to mention that the fucker is BRAND NEW too. We’re literally the first people to use it. Garbage-ass, giant piece of horse shit…
