After passing my certification with ease, my instructor pointed out that women generally make better forklift drivers … so, this would make sense in an animé about the cut-and-thrust world of competitive forklift driving … which is also a thing BTW.

Seven@startrek.websiteto The Onion@midwest.social•Person Trying to Get Into Kink Forced to Memorize Three Pages of AcronymsEnglish2·1 year agoI’m aware of that now, but at the time didn’t know anything about it … it was being done in a community space where there was a bar and plenty of space for activities.
Seven@startrek.websiteto The Onion@midwest.social•Person Trying to Get Into Kink Forced to Memorize Three Pages of AcronymsEnglish212·1 year agoA friend of a friend once talked me into going to a munch, where some scenes were going to be done. I’m interested in seeing new things and try to be open to having my horizons broadened, so I figured why not?
I have to say, not only did I find it intensely boring, it was also about as much of a turn-off as I can imagine any in-person experience being.
You may be right, the more of Voyager I watch the more flexible each character appears in order to fit around what the story requires. Apart from Tom Paris repeatedly being an idiot, that’s a constant.
We can agree to disagree and enjoy it on our own terms I guess. If I have been dismissive of your argument I would like to apologise, that was not my intention.
Not an obsession, I tuned out of watching Voyager when it was first on TV and I’m partway through a complete watch now … she’s simply my favorite character from the show, and given that Star Trek fans have a pleasant and active community here I thought it was a good choice. Perhaps I was mistaken.
Being interpreted as smug was not my intention, I thought I was simply stating my opinion with equal force to the poster above. How should I have responded?
Seven@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•Berlin’s plan for driverless magnetic trains derided by climate groupsEnglish12·1 year agoWould you like 1 maglev train for 10km, or 10 extra trains to make better use of existing infrastructure?
Picard was written by different people who needed different things from the characters, however there were occasional moments where her previous manerisms showed through.
A feral child who was not ASD could have been portrayed like Mowgli (or, for a more Star Trek reference point, Tuvok when he had brain damage). Seven gradually learns how to navigate human interaction (and how to smile, for instance) through studying and is surprised when it’s occasionally useful, a non-ASD character could have learned through interpretation of people’s reactions and would have sought socialisation rather than peace and quiet in a neatly ordered cargo bay (I’m led to believe that’s how it works anyway).
You’re completely right, there is obviously no deeper meaning to presenting a character who is a mature adult yet requires structured classes in order to learn how human beings socialise.

Now: politely staying home and posting on Lemmy.
Seven@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is an obscure piece of media or videogame that you think nobody else here has heard of?3·1 year agoOK, I’ll go all-in on this:
2000 AD Comics’ Nexus, The computer game.
Made for the Commodore C128 computer (which oddly ran Microsoft Basic), it was a simple single-screen platform shooter with the twist that you could pile up the bodies of your enemies and use them as platforms.

Depends on how well the first season goes, the producers are a little cautious in case the bears aren’t really as viscous as they said on their CVs.
It’s a reality TV series where D-list personalities are dropped in the middle of the forrest and have to hike out without being eaten by bears.
I don’t know, I’ve never played online
Seven@startrek.websitetoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•They're basically the same thingEnglish1·1 year agoI just picture it in my mother’s talk about how ladies should keep their legs closed … like “Now, Seven, you’re getting to that age when older men start taking an interest in you, and you don’t want to come down with a case of Slagboom, what would the neighbours think?!”
Seven@startrek.websitetoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•They're basically the same thingEnglish7·1 year agoMy favourite Dutch word is Slagboom
I’m not a fan of queens, however you and your opponent should go on a horse riding experience day together to remind you that the horsey is clearly the superior piece to choose.
Awesome, thank you so much!
