I'm right there with you, except that I can't even bring myself to watch DIS or PIC. As soon as it became clear how much those shows were being produced like the movies I lost interest. It's not what I want from Trek. And I subsequently waited a good while to check out LD, but that was a mistake. I absolutely love it. It's the perfect combination of classic Trek optimism, loveable characters, and comedy. And they honestly even get fan-service right, which I didn't think was possible (though it does make sense that it would be in a semi-parody).

I can't be sure it's not a false memory, but I seem to remember sitting all buckled into one of those removable car seats on the floor of the hallway in our first house. The low perspective is very vivid and the place in the hallway is very specific (the threshold of the living room). That house would put me at under 4, but the angle etc would suggest I was much younger and in an infant car seat. I can never be sure if the level of detail supports it being a real memory or a false one. My first memory's definitely in that house though. I remember in the heat of summer hanging out with my mom in the one room that had an air conditioning unit. But I was definitely ambulatory at that point.

Hah! That was definitely something that arrived in the "family" email that we all thought was just the funniest shit we had ever seen. Weirdly similar circumstances.

A boring dystopia.

I think the wording of your first comment may also have been a tad confusing. It was hard for me to tell whether you were saying OP was a hypocrite for not contributing more or that it might be a bit early for OP to draw conclusions.

So, in short, everything sucks because businesses are now trying to snort up all the cash like they're a 1980s businessman doing lines off the changing table in a public restroom.

A particularly apropos analogy because these kinds of business decisions reek of Reaganomics-era thinking.
