I don't want to live on this planet anymore

[doombot1@lemmy.one]

Y’know, after seeing all of these memes for so long… maybe I’ll actually try watching watch trek to get my mind off of things. Any recs on where to start??

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

Watch the first two episodes of next generation. Then skip to season two. And enjoy

[ummthatguy@lemmy.world]

Always a though question. TOS, while dated, is the primer. I grew up as TNG was airing. It's slow and problematic until about the 3rd season. DS9 is the best of the best as far as I'm concerned, but it's a slow burn to build the characters and get to the meat of the arching story. Of course, there's a chronological approach, however, kinda messy.

Try out one for a few episodes, see what strikes your fancy.

That's a shitty flashlight

I was born and raised in the wilderness .... if I saw any of you guys wandering around my area, I'd invite you in to live with me. Just don't mind the smell, the beaver castors I have drying or the forever stew on the stove. And it wouldn't matter to me if you were Canadian, French Canadian (calais!), American, Chinese, Russian or even Irish, I'd still invite you in.

there's not

[ummthatguy@lemmy.world]

Mighty neighborly of ya, but my levels of familiarity are yet to drop quite to that yet.

[ummthatguy@lemmy.world]

[tarkcanis@lemmy.world]

In all honesty, no. Not unless you're a refugee, rich, or highly educated (especially MDs), and that first one has been closing over the past few years.

[can@sh.itjust.works]

Square metre maybe. Unless you'd like to join the tent encampments that have cropped up in the last decade.

[ummthatguy@lemmy.world]

Might qualify for the 3rd. Not an MD, but have plenty of specialized training.

Even so, just a topical meme I cranked out. Work and family are here. Gonna make the best of it, no matter how much I have to drink and watch Star Trek.

[ummthatguy@lemmy.world]

Not an avenue where I'd hoped to have common ground, but here we are.

[jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org]

I'll be watching all 900 hours or so of Trek on a loop.

[olgratin_magmatoe@slrpnk.net]

Really making me wish I could request asylum within the Federation.

I can live without either .... I grew up for about the first ten years of my life basically off the grid and learned how to hunt, trap, fish and gather my own food, water and build shelter and basically live on my own. By the time I was about 11 - 12, mom and dad were basically treating me like a working adult that could be tasked with lots of things. It was how they grew up and were taught. I thought it was just normal stuff until I got older and realized we live in a more modern world far removed from hunting and gathering.

Which is why I never really worry about losing the grid ... or being removed from the grid ... or in watching the grid fail.

It’s how I am feeling these days…

[ummthatguy@lemmy.world]

That's a truly rare perspective these days. Got a mild shade of "rustic living" as a Boy Scout some decades ago. Might not fare as well, but could certainly survive for a bit. The "be prepared" mantra keeps ringing in my head.

Sure all American refugees can settle in Nunavut. Locations to be reserved for the American savages by the government of Nunavut.

Americans will be expected to stay on these reserves and not mingle with local populations
