It took me way too long to realize you weren’t just talking about Sir Patrick Stewart’s obvious sex appeal.

It gets worse. Visiting a friend recently, they tried to give me an old Kindle, (which I politely declined). They have a drawer of about 6 old ones because they can’t help buying the latest every sale. They don’t even read that much!!

In the first episode of Picard, playing chess with Data… “Because I don’t want the game to end.” Man, on so man levels, it was a few weeks before I could even say that line without getting choked up.

I grew up as a little boy watching every TNG with my dad, I don’t want the game to end either.

This will keep happening until Amazon starts cracking down on cheap Ferengi knock-offs with fake reviews.

You broke your little ships.

After an impassioned and (IMO) epic bit of dialogue from Picard, this little disarming line hits me so hard. Just wanna give him a hug.

I’d settle for it not being on my shoes for once.

I was a dyed in the wool apple evangelist through the 90s and early 00s, I was excited about every new drop and seeing the advancement of OSX from the beginning, waiting in lines for iPhones on. Day 1.

But they just lost their way, and I can’t do it anymore. Too many decisions that showed they didn’t care about their professional users. I don’t know that I think anything out there is actually better, but certainly better value and better control. I miss the ease, but I’m voting with my money and I can’t support a company that abandoned the users that were there from the start, certainly not at the price point they command.

Exactly, I’m 38 also, and this is already like 90% true. Just need a good walking stick.

Oh oh, I have one. So I worked in e-commerce through the pandemic, which meant I worked solo 99% of the time doing everything from web and graphic design, to packing boxes with the things ordered.

So one morning I come in, and marketing has decided we are going to send out 100+ packages of our newest product to influencers, reviewers, C-suite people etc. But it’s just me and I have my delivery pick-up scheduled to come in 2 hours.

So I’m rushing around building boxes and grabbing the items, and as I come downstairs from where some of the new stuff is (nothing else is stored upstairs, just this because it was just delivered) carrying a bunch using up both hands, I missed a step and fell about 4 stairs worth. Landed hard on my knees, scrapping my legs to hell, but otherwise, luckily fine.

No one saw it, no one mentioned it, my line manager never said anything… But there were CCTV cameras. And 1 weeks later

EVERY stair railing had a sticker that read “please hold onto the hand-rail”. Nevermind that I litterally couldn’t while doing what they had asked of me, and absolutely no checking to see if I was ok.

I resigned and accepted a new role elsewhere 2 weeks later.

My wife wanted to try it, so we did. We did not try it a second time.

I’m in this meme, and I’m totally ok with that. Hun if you see this the landspeeder with 1890 pieces please! Love you!
