I listen to tech podcasters. This is not satire, this is reality.
Most people find Houston, Texas to be hostile.
Just driving on Westheimer is enough to make rational people leave.
Here’s hoping all the talent like Victoria abandons Texas and makes the Zodiac State insolvent.
Yes, please stop building both of those things.
Or a solar farm, so it doesn’t have to be an eyesore either.
Would not surprise me one bit if the current app is built on top of the original codebase from 1997.
“Guys, I fucked up. I watched the WRONG Alien vs Predator movie. I need therapy.”
“You ready to relive elementary school, neighborooni?”
Implying priests hire adult escorts.
That’s exactly how I lost a full-time technical position at Apple. Weird.
He’s the reason why they won’t come back.

"It has been 5,000 years. Have you learned no patience in that time?" - Apollo
The Enterprise is scanning the Pollux system for signs of life and come across an energy field of unknown power that is in the shape of a human hand. Any attempt to evade it fails and the green hand literally grabs the Enterprise and holds it in place above Pollux IV. A face appears on the viewscreen of a being claiming to be the Greek god Apollo (Michael Forest), welcoming Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise "home."

"We've done nothing here. No accomplishments. No progress. Three years wasted." - Elias Sandoval
The Enterprise reluctantly arrives at Omicron Ceti III with the expectation to find all the colonists dead after it's found that the colony planet is being bombarded by Berthold rays - radiation that is deadly to humans and many other forms of life after only a week's exposure. Captain Kirk and a landing party beam down to assess the situation. To their bewilderment, they find all the colonists alive and in perfect health running their township without any technology or mechanical equipment. But the more they examine this little slice of paradise, in addition to not being able to figure out why everyone is still alive after three years, the more things don't add up.

"After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all than wanting." - Commander Spock
The Enterprise is on course for Altair VI to take part in a show of power during an inauguration ceremony that would see the entire region become far more stabilized. En route, Spock begins to behave erratically but refuses to explain why. When Spock is finally convinced to allow Doctor McCoy to examine him, the Doctor emphatically pleads with Captain Kirk to divert the Enterprise to Vulcan ...or else Spock will be dead within a matter of days.

"I did it! It's finally gone! I'm free!" - Denevan pilot
As the Enterprise nears the planet Deneva, they are having trouble establishing communications, making Captain Kirk visibly worried. Commander Spock makes Kirk aware of an alarming pattern of outbreaks of mass hysteria along a single trajectory across the galaxy, pointing out the Deneva would be the next planet this so-called wave of hysteria would hit. The Enterprise reaches Deneva just in time to watch a Denevan deliberately fly their small craft into the planet's sun before they could do anything to stop it. Kirk, now deeply concerned, orbits Deneva and beams down personally with a team to find out what is going on. In a city of over 100,000 people, not a single person can be seen outside. The situation becomes stranger when a group of men wielding blunt instruments appears and charges while also warning the away team to get away from them.
