Traveling isn’t much of an issue, but emigrating can be prevented to some places like Australia and New Zealand.
RavenFellBlade@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was the worst bastardization of a classic book into a movie?2·2 years agoIn defense of The Dark Tower… it isn’t an adaptation of the books. It’s a sequel. It continues the story in a way in which Roland finally breaks the loop.
RavenFellBlade@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was the worst bastardization of a classic book into a movie?6·2 years agoAgreed. It bears so little resemblance to the “”“source material”“” that they were legally required to remove all mentions of Stephen King from the film credits and promotional materials when it released on VHS.
RavenFellBlade@startrek.websiteto Star Trek@startrek.website•Braga: ‘I still cringe when I hear it.’ Apparently, it was a long road to the franchise’s most despised title musicEnglish1·2 years agoThe problem with Enterprise’s theme is that it undermines the fundamental principles the series had established in every other show. The song along with its imagery may feel like it’s fitting for “mankind stepping into the larger galaxy”, but it does so at great expense. Everything about that opening is anthropocentric. It’s all about humanity and Earth. The show is every bit as broad as its predecessors, but the opening seems to feel like the poster child for HFY fiction. It’s jarring.

RavenFellBlade@startrek.websiteto politics @lemmy.world•House Republican aims to defund Trump prosecutions until 2024 election3·2 years agoWhen your sole purpose is to use extrajudicial force to subvert justice, how on earth is that not obstruction? Congress doesn’t have unilateral authority to undermine the law for their own gain.
RavenFellBlade@startrek.websiteto Ask Reddit...@lemmit.online•[Serious] People that have experienced hallucinations, auditory or visual, what was the scariest thing you heard/saw?2·2 years agoMy girlfriend at the time slowly morphed into a flying monkey from the Wizard of Oz before her face melted off, first leaving a featureless void, and then a bloody Skeleton face. While all of this is going on, a sped up mishmash of the Wicked Witch’s song that plays while she’s flying in the twister and Black Sabbath’s Paranoid are playing on a continuous loop. I still remember it vividly and have flashbacks of it, and this happened in 1999.

RavenFellBlade@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•New school bus route is a 'disaster,' Kentucky superintendent admits. Last kids got home at 10 pm45·2 years agoFrom experience, there is nothing preventing you from leaving, except that anything you do has to be close enough to the bus lot and meticulously scheduled to allow for you to drive from the bus lot to where you need to be and back while also allowing any prep time, especially if you need to pretrip your bus.
In other words, in theory, you can do whatever you want. In practice, you’re straight up tethered to that lot. I worked out my actual pay last year. I made $22/hrs working for a major national transportation service. My average paid time was about 6.5 hours. My layover time was two separate segments. I had 2.5 hours of driving in the AM, about 1.5 in the late AM, and another 2.5 in the PM. These were separate by 2 hours, and then 2.5 hours. So, the reality of this schedule meant that I couldn’t do much of anything on my downtime. I was obligated to 11 hours, only 6.5 of which I was paid. So, the reality was that I was making $13/hr. That math convinced me not to return this year. That, and my shit benefits caused me to get a $1,400 lab bill for work that was only $45 on my previous insurance. They screw you. They screw you coming, they screw you going, and anything that goes wrong is always your fault, while they’re quick to take credit when things go well.
It ain’t worth it.

RavenFellBlade@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Pastor alarmed after Trump-loving congregants deride Jesus' teachings as 'weak'81·2 years agoPaul derailed the Church right out of the gate. Here’s a guy who has had an absurd amount of control over the fate of Christianity who never met Christ, and who advocates principles that directly contradict Christ’s own teachings while being very similar to the teaching of the Jewish temple Paul previously held power in as a Pharisee. Paul took Christ’s teachings and merged them into a contemptible, incoherent hybrid of Christ’s message and the Jewish law-focused faith, brought full circle back into a religious bureaucracy by the Roman Catholics.
RavenFellBlade@startrek.websiteto politics @lemmy.world•These Nazis Want to Turn New England Into a White Ethnostate1·2 years agoNew Hampshire, I presume? I had to move to the midwest on account of those ever increasingly absurd property takes because “all of the tourists will go somewhere else if we have a sales tax!” Such nonsense. When I left, there were more Massholes living in the NH seacoast than local folk. Buncha dubbas.
I don’t know what the deal was with that episode, but Time And Again is playing in 4:3. So I guess it’s just that one episode.
