Netflix, what are you trying to do? I can't cancel my subscription in protest if it's still cancelled from the last time you did something boneheaded.

Season 2, The Dauphin. Enterprise plays taxi for a new head of state, Wesley does the teenager in love thing, falling for a cute nerd. I just watched this one but had to look up the title.

Shower crying is a good way to reset your body, mind, and soul when facing the prospect of doing the same thing over and over every fucking day for the next 30 years or so.

If I keep saving all of these gifs I'm going to run out of storage. But... I can't just pass up gold like this.

This reminds me of the time my mom came storming into the living room while I was watching TNG.

"What the hell are you watching? Why do they keep talking about turbo lips?"

Lift, mom. Lift.

"...oh. I was gonna say..."

Indeed. In my case, I fought through managerial malaise and turned the entire process on its ear. But even after the approach proved its worth, they refused to put a dev resource on it. It became my problem 24/7.

Remember kids, being good at something outside of your job description means it's now your job. If the boss refuses to compensate you for it, slap it on your resume and find someone who will.

I have seen critical enterprise applications run in VBA in excel.

I wrote one of them. It replaced periodically writing down application outputs on paper and sounding the alarm if something went pear-shaped. It wasn't my job to develop software but I didn't want hand cramps to be my job, either. I had vague ideas about how to do what I wanted to do with Excel so I poked at it and googled until it worked. More than a decade later, I'm no longer there but that freakin spreadsheet is still running 24/7, being proudly showed off during tours of the facility.

I will cackle if MS ever pulls the plug on VBA.

This is the way.

So, a little backstory... kbin bugs out a lot when trying to post to a federated instance. Error messages when things went through fine, no error messages but nothing shows up on the host instance, error message with nothing on the host but still seeing upvotes/interaction (???) from my profile page. So I finally got around to creating an alt account and posting the above. The concept was a literal shower thought, the image put together while I was falling asleep, and the title after I had already fallen asleep multiple times and dropped my phone on my face. (I seriously couldn't think of anything good and went with the next semi-coherent thought.) Thanks Stamets for the template!

Thank you, CaptObvious.
