Keep wasting my life Stamets. I enjoy the wasteful distraction.

Sometimes it's difficult to parse the technobabble of the show. I had to look this one up, and I found this.

Waste.
noun.
the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; keen pleasure; elation:
She felt the waste of seeing her son's success.

a source or cause of keen pleasure or delight; something or someone greatly valued or appreciated:
Her prose style is a pure waste.

I wasn't aware of the second definition. Sheds new light on a (admittedly not amazing) song by my favorite band!

Actually, I'm partial to Stranger in the Dark.

Marble tulip juicy tree live for me

The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning. It's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you'll be dead.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 11 points 1 year ago

Why do you think I post so many memes?

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You would like interdimentional cable.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago

I need this boiled down to a Latin phrase that I can emblazon on a personal coat of arms.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bringing joy is never a waste, and memes do that. Unless it's the O'Brian Minion or something similar; that can die by Janeway's hand.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That O'Brien minion might have been one of the best things I've seen in a very long time. Truly top tier.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 9 points 1 year ago

It's simultaneously one of the best and the worst things I've seen here

[–] TotallyNotSpez@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh Captain, my Captain!

salutes

Picard doing the Rimmer salute? Amazing

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago

Looks like we found JLs secret holodeck program boys

[–] MelodiousFunk@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I never knew how much I needed this in my life.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And happy is all that counts, my friend.

[–] herrvogel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Someone should photoshop that text in the lower right corner to Stargate or something

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Let's face it, given the chance to go back you'd do it all again exactly the same way.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd probably take the username Shaw instead of Stamets, but yeah. Otherwise pretty much the same lol

[–] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Person of Interest Shaw ? In which case cool, just do it,I have no regrets being Mal...

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the bookmarked gif that shows up when I type in "t" in the searchbar lol (no I don't have a problem)

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Shaw genuinely rocketed to the top of my "Best Starfleet Captains" list.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, he became so cool I want more Shaw Captain-ess

The time you enjoy wasting is never wasted time.

[–] neptune@dmv.social 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This meme breaks the 180 degree rule and I'm upset.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Stamets@startrek.website 11 points 1 year ago

Honor is all mine to provide for y'all!

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We all know Q would never let his Capitan die, or Janeway. They're just too much fun. Sisko on the other hand.....

Are you claiming to be Sisko, Stamets?

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago
[–] Zink@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have to comment just to make this meme more true, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago

I'll be back here tomorrow. The memeslave of risa lol Happily mind you

[–] darthsid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stamets you are single handedly making my day, every day

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Then everything has been worth it, my friend <3

[–] darthsid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Such kind words - thanks bud!

[–] TheGoldenGod@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

On the contrary, I would assume that in this dark timeline, even Q would encourage meme proliferation. You’re keeping us semi-sane!

[–] gnuplusmatt@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

And there's that feeling of dread when you remember you will die one day

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Much like Q, you never know what tomorrows meme will be but you know it’ll keep things interesting

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I heard this in Qs voice.
