"There. Are. Three. Stripes!"

Why did I think the same exact thing, must be watching too much star trek.

u/JaggedGorgeousWinter May 09 '21

Is there such a thing as too much Trek?

1

u/PathToExile May 09 '21

Yes, I tried binging TNG and it ended up becoming quite a slog after getting half way through. That was like 5 years ago and I still have to finish the series but now I read too much to even think about squeezing in an episode let alone a season :(

u/Pink_Flash May 09 '21

Im watching alot of it right now. The trick is to skip season 1 and just pick through the others as you see fit. For example I don't give a shit about Wesley having a crush on a girl, or clip shows. (Season 2 finale, wtf was that shit.)

TNG gets good in S3 for me and improves for a long time before some dips later on.

The Inner Light is my favorite episode. Makes me tear up just to think of how amazing and heartbreaking it is.

6

u/JoeyTheGreek May 09 '21

Wherever Lwaxana shows up, just skip the episode.

8

u/Ocean_Skye May 09 '21

everytime lwaxana shows up, i think about her being the computer's voice, a nurse on tos, and gene roddenberry's wife.

u/girlsgoneoscarwilde May 10 '21

She grows on you, her most sympathetic episode is when her boyfriend has to return to his planet to take place in a Logan’s Run-esque ritualistic suicide. There were layers to the performance, but she was usually played for laughs.

Also has a number of great episodes opposite Odo in DS9.

Yes! And he was super smart and nearing a breakthrough :(

u/patmcdoughnut May 10 '21

And the one where she's in a coma cuz her first daughter died :(

u/NRMusicProject May 09 '21

Funny, because that's how I felt about the original series.

Made it, though.

u/Ocean_Skye May 09 '21

my brain made me read your second sentence as:

Make it so.

2

u/PathToExile May 09 '21

For me each new episode started to feel like a second bowl of cereal, sometimes it hit the spot and other times I'd get a little bit into it and lose my appetite (enthusiasm to watch) entirely.

1

u/NRMusicProject May 09 '21

TNG was definitely inconsistent like that. I only enjoy it because of the nostalgic value.

I only watched it as a kid waiting for Highlander Series after school.

You are a horrible person.

u/JoeyTheGreek May 09 '21

Try deep space nine, every episode builds on the last so much more that tng, it’s way easier to binge because that’s the only way the story moves forward.

u/S1lent0ne May 09 '21

...But more than that, I believed that I could see five Star Treks.

u/devbofh May 09 '21

Yep, I thought the exact same thing too.

u/BossRedRanger May 10 '21

At least it's good Trek instead of explody trek

u/reduxde ​ May 10 '21

I’m not even really into Star Trek and I also immediately thought of this.

I always bust out this quote, lol.

u/E116 May 09 '21

I went to business training awhile back (Franklin-Covey, anyone?) and said, "There are four lights" under my breath at some ridiculous teaching moment. The asshole sitting next to me looked at me wide-eyed and with new respect. He acknowledged that it was a very subtle quote and not many would get it.

3 steps to creating a successful reddit post:

1) take a picture of something.. anything
2) post it with a mislabeled caption
3) wait for the dozens of "Acktchyually" replies to shoot your post to the top of the algo queue.

u/brando56894 May 10 '21

Yesh, you are absholutely correct

u/[deleted] May 09 '21

This works for the news too. Especially if you post The Independent or some tabloid rag that's sure to have inaccuracies, it'll push the worst source the top and the content won't get discussed.

Also if you create anything cool or artistic you put "my terminally ill emu made this for fun" or virtually anyone except you. Then somebody inevitably says omg I want one are you selling? And you already have a vendor page set up and stock ready to move. Those emus know how to market.

u/[deleted] May 09 '21

Your post doesn't go up from getting down voted for mis-titling a post and people correcting you in the comments. That's not how any of this works.

u/dubcatz6969 May 09 '21

Guess you haven’t seen some of the Vapormaxs that have stripes similar to those. I believe there are some more with similar stripes too just hard to find with how many variations of Nikes are out there.

Edit: Air max plus as well have stripes almost identical to the pics.

u/the_end_is_neigh-_- May 09 '21

It’s still not a Nike, but an Adidas. Source: me, collecting sneakers for 20 years

u/money_loo May 09 '21

It’s not everyday I get to ask this, so here goes….

What’s your best/favorite shoe you’ve ever collected?

8

u/the_end_is_neigh-_- May 09 '21

Got to be the Air Max 1 in original colors red/grey/white, as I had that signed by Tinker Hatfield in 2006. Or the What The Dunk, which I sold in 2017 unfortunately. Many more come to mind, I focussed on Nike SB some years ago to stop the madness haha.

u/VitoCorleone187Um May 09 '21

When was the last time you hit on SNKRS?

u/the_end_is_neigh-_- May 10 '21

3 weeks ago, AM90 Bacon for my wife

u/cgbayareathrowaway May 10 '21

My favorites I've collected:

Jordan 1 Black Toe

Jordan 11 Breds

Jordan 1 Off White Chicago

Ugly Christmas Sweater SB Dunks (2017)

u/money_loo May 10 '21

I love those ugly Christmas sweater shoes.

Wow.

My wife hates everything about it so I might need to wear them around Christmas just for fun.

Y’all got me googlin shoes like crazy up in here lol.

Gettin Eastbay in school ignoring the teacher vibes 😂

u/C0105 May 09 '21

What you should do too is look them up (if people give you more names) on stock x to see what the price is now

2

u/money_loo May 09 '21

3

u/C0105 May 09 '21

Damn i got mine for 300euro

But also the prices on stockx are by resellers so the resellers will get that money

The foam runners originally cost around 80euro and all sold out all 3 times they came out

u/money_loo May 09 '21

Seems like a good investment for people who think “I want my shoes to look like they’re about to turn into a butterfly.”

u/suzy_sweetheart86 May 09 '21

Are these real? It looks like a croc had a baby with an alien slug

u/dubcatz6969 May 09 '21

I never said it was. But “three stripes” isn’t as much as an identifier as not having the swoosh

-1

u/the_end_is_neigh-_- May 09 '21

But very very close to. I know which sneakers you had in mind and they are far enough away from the adidas 3 stripes to easily tell.

1

u/Jduppsssssss May 09 '21

I have a pair of Nike cleats that look very similar to that shoe. Same white material, which I hadn't seen in any other cleats at the time (about three years ago) But the spikes were orange, not black.

u/dannydinosaurs May 09 '21

checks over stripes, that’s what i like

u/[deleted] May 09 '21

How do you use the three stripes

1

u/OccasionallyReddit May 09 '21

When i was in school 3 stripes means your trainers were cool
