Based on my experiences meeting other Trekkies at Phoenix Fan Fusion and Tuscon Comic Con.

Like, once you get past this part, most of the original Trekkies are fun to talk to, but combined with that subset of gen X TNG guys who talk about their college years and give you unsolicited life advice while probably a bit inebriated, you probably lose an hour at whatever convention to hearing this same flex over and over again.

Also, yes, at Fan Fusion I found out Gen Alpha Trekkies do exist; saw one wearing a DS9 uniform commenting at a panel.

Hey. I just wanted to say I've been and will continue to be taking a break from this instance and Lemmy for a while.

While I've had some fun in my almost two years here, lately, I've had a bit of an addictive, unhealthy relationship with it and want to reclaim my time, and I was really getting too emotional over things that don't matter, to the point it negatively affected my wellbeing. Thus, I've changed my password to a random one and saved it in a GPG-encrypted file for when I'm ready to come back.

Thanks to all the people that have made my time on here a good one, especially server admins and many of the frequent posters. I could be back in a few weeks, in a few months, or as Benjamin Sisko said, yesterday.

Paramount+ doesn't have the "Spanish (Latin American" dub beyond season 2, and I've long been wondering if it even exists for later seasons. It would be a travesty if it didn't, as most voices were at least tolerable, and Boimler straight up sounded like Jack Quaid speaking Spanish.

I've heard that there are two Spanish dubs out there for it: the Latin American one on P+ that's pretty good, and a horrible Castillian dialect one. It would be a shame if the Blu-Ray used the latter, or even worse, the product claims to have a Spanish dub but only has it for two seasons.

Anyone who's already bought it, I would be immensely thankful if you could check that:

• Spanish dub even exists beyond season 2.
• Maybe post something like an audio clip with a scene including Boimler from each season so I can see if it's the same dub.

Thank you for your time. Have a good one.

I made this about 3.5 years ago and forgot about it, never uploading it anywhere. Sorry for your pain.

All aboard the AI Event Horizon train. 😭

EDIT: Sorry, I set my Gitlab permissions wrong. Should be able to view now.

Note: I'm not casting all Republicans as a "skin of evil" here; I feel many of them are just people trying to make their way in the world whose daily struggles and fears have been amplified manipulated by the "skin of evil", an administration that constantly denies human rights and demonizes (as well as convinces its followers to partake in the demonization of) people who, for the most part, are also just trying to make their way in the world. I've known Republicans, and while the people they give their support to frighten me, most of the ones I've know aren't demons.

EDIT: To be clear, I’m not saying Republican voters did nothing wrong, that they don’t deserve consequences, or that we should avoid making them feel bad. In many ways, the “skin of evil” is their collective wrongs and the way they enabled the current horrors. The evil, however, is a subset of a person (sometimes almost the whole set, though), while the “skin of evil” is the set of evil. Also, I admit I feel a bit on the availability heuristic and that “most of the ones I know” isn’t the strongest evidence.
