i make my own noodles thanks to babish.

babish is cool.

or was when he taught me about noodles.

"Xennials are the micro-generation of people on the cusp of the Generation X and Millennial demographic cohorts.

Many researchers and popular media use birth years from 1977 to 1983,[1] though some extend this further in either direction"

never heard of these.

I've been traveling and recommending travel for 15 years, if anybody has any questions about the process.

i see, thanks so much for the guides, i appreciate it.

i'll look at both of those and probably jump into three and see how it goes.

okay I trust your judgment because you admitted:

"it doesn't start out the best"

I'm finding it difficult to get past that first interaction between Shakespeare elitist alien and Picard.

when you say start out, do you mean like the first episode, or the first season?

cuz I'll just skip the first episode and go back after I kind of care about the story and characters and find out what they talked about.

you know what, he really sounded sincere when he said it, and literally every Vietnamese person who welcomed me to their country(which was every single one I was able to communicate with over 3 months) sounded so happy that an American was visiting.

it seemed like they were all as nervous as I was about our relations. but the fact that I was there and trying to poorly speak Vietnamese and just interested in their country really meant a lot to them.

though yeah, winning a war with "the most powerful country in the world" probably soothes a lot of the awkwardness.

there's this crazy site called. the B-52 lake, even though it's only a few dozen meters across, and a B-52 is stuck in this pond in the middle of a residential neighborhood where it was shot down by the Vietnamese during the war, and it's sticking out by one wing the way it landed when it was shot down.

I rented an apartment right next to it and had no idea until I walked out of the building and saw a B-52 sticking out of a pond.

I was very concerned about traveling to Vietnam the first time, and then once I got there I was shocked and relieved at how nice everybody was to me, and then one guy explicitly mentioned he felt bad Vietnam beat the US so bad in the war.

he even shrugged and did a "you know...because the US lost the war...but that's behind us. and you are welcome, it's very nice you are visiting!" and I was like ohhhh of course. i would be gracious too in his situation.

thanks, I'm really excited to finally get started and I'll definitely go your route.

if there are too many references. I feel like you're flying over my head I'll move on to something earlier and go with what feels right.

I dare say that the incredible volume of ST names on Lemmy have maybe prepared me for some of that?

great, thanks. as long as I'll be able to follow what's going on, I'll probably start with lower decks since that appeals to me, and then branch out from there.

I feel like I need to live in the modern ST world a bit first before stepping into the past

okay, interesting. thanks for the context.

Cool, thanks. I like animation in general, so lower deck seems like a good entry point.
