Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I've spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.

Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.

Just don't ask who what's in the pattern buffer.

  • Locked

    Priorities

    Jump

  • But you know... It's TOTALLY politics to not want your money going to people who want you dead, so RULE 3 GUYS RULE THREEEEEEEEEEEEE

  • Trump administration mulling $10 billion aid package for U.S. farmers, sources say

    Jump

  • It's always "well the lazy democrats will take it so it's perfectly fine for one of us to take it so they can't have it" or some variation.

  • How it feels

    Jump

  • What a dumb way to view things.

    Having never gone to college, I FULLY support my tax dollars going to pay for colleges.

    Tax money is to benefit society.

    How have m youade it far enough in life to be voicing your opinions on the fediverse, yet haven't figured out that a well-educated society is good for EVERYONE in that society...

  • Wear your seatbelt

    Jump

  • I have sat for nearly 10 minutes while the unbelted person fumed mostly silently

    You get one chance to put it on before I pull the car over and put it in park. In this case I turned the car off, pulled out my headphones, and started watching Lord of the Rings on my phone.

    The best driver in the world can still get T-boned at an intersection or rear ended at a stop sign. I'm the one driving, you will abide by my safety rules. Take your own vehicle or ride the bus if you don't want a seat belt.

  • How old are you (roughly) and how long does it take you to recover from illnesses and injuries compared to when you were younger?

    Jump

  • 30s, I am much slower to bounce back from muscular injuries, and if I smash my knee, it's gonna be a week before I don't need a brace. Being overweight is a big part of that though. I'm sure if I had kept my weight off after my last surgery 10 years ago I'd be quicker to recover joint injuries.

    Illnesses are about the same? Maybe? Idk whenever I got a cold I would be miserable for a week, and that hasn't changed. Every so often I'll get something that knocks me on my ass for 2-4 days, and when I was younger it was probably only 1-2 days. I was sick much more as a kid though so that's likely one reason, my immune system isn't exposed to as many things anymore so illnesses that DO hurt are worse than they used to be. I'm not a biologist though, and pathology sounds like what a startup company that makes designer walkways would call themselves.

    I also think I'm much funnier than I used to, but that's likely unrelated to illnesses...

  • Signal says it will leave Europe rather than weaken encryption under EU “chat control” plan

    Jump

  • France usually does a pretty good job of fucking shit up when the people in charge go against the populace.

    I guess too few people today are actually concerned about privacy. Honestly I think it comes from a place of ignorance. They don't understand the dangers so they don't believe there IS danger.

  • French influencer Amine Mojito faces prison sentence for syringe prank videos

    Jump

  • No needle in the syringe, apparently.

    Still a good way to get bodyslammed into a wall. I'm not waiting to see if there's a needle or not.

  • Removed

    French PM Resigns in Less Than a Month

    Jump

  • I love seeing the "FRENCH GOVERNMENT COLLAPSES" headlines.

    Like.... A governmental collapse and this gestures broadly at France are two VERY different things.

    And if I'm being honest, when I first saw the headline I wondered if they floated raising the retirement age again and got rioted into a burned down parliament.

    France will be okay, they have protocols for this sort of thing.

    ...... Right? I don't know nearly as much about the current French government as I do pre-napoleonic France. Am dum American.

    Jump

  • Can't wait for one of my coworkers to speak positively of this move so I can ask them why they're praising SOCIALISM

    I mean, I think the world would be a better place if capitalism died and socialism were recognized as being far superior, but I can say with 100% certainty that THEY do NOT.

  • Body slamming, teargas and pepper balls: viral videos show Ice using extreme force in Chicago

    Jump

  • Seems like a well-regulated militia would go a long way here.

  • The Israeli Military Strategies the BBC Doesn’t Want You to Know About

    Jump

  • has a left-wing bias

    So does reality.

    But some people are, perplexingly, still concerned with "being fair".

  • The Israeli Military Strategies the BBC Doesn’t Want You to Know About

    Jump

  • People like this want you conflate "the country of Israel" with "all ethnic/religious Jewish people everywhere"

    It allows them to more easily call people antisemitic when you criticize the Israeli government.

    Even IF Israeli intelligence hadn't ignored reports of potential attacks, and even IF they hadn't intentionally lowered security in order to make potential attacks worse, all in order to give them and excuse to do the thing they already wanted to do, committing genocide in response is a FULL FUCKING STOP "no"

  • A lot of media depict the United States as being invaded by fascists from the outside. Nobody thought fascism will come from within until now.

    Jump

  • m not American. The presence of fascists in US politics has been a commonly accepted truth in anybody anywhere left of demochristians for half a century.

    I am an American and idk where this idea comes from because I've been noticing a decline at least since high school political science forced me to pay attention for the first time. It's been hard not to notice the slope getting steeper every day.

  • Lol.

    LMAO, even.

    This particular downslope has been around for 20+ years, and it's been arguably more like 50 years.

    Hell, the only reason we have the small amount of gun control we do is because Regan was afraid of black people owning guns.

    Fascism has been festering for a long time, most people only notice now because it's finally affecting them.

  • Texas national guard troops head to Illinois after judge fails to block move

    Jump

  • It's because some people are still playing by a rulebook that's burning in the corner trash can. Some people are still concerned with "what's proper".

    In other words, "because she's living in a fantasy world where normally that would have been a bad look"

  • Texas national guard troops head to Illinois after judge fails to block move

    Jump

  • So Texas is trying to kick off a civil war by invading another state.

  • CBS Nopes rule

    Jump

  • I'd prefer to just bury them in soft peat for 3 months and recycle them as firestarters.

  • I'm something of an anarchist myself

    Jump

  • The first time I ever played it I was in my "fuck you I won't do what you tell me" phase.

    I still feel that way, but now it's not a phase.

    Plus the little tink is hilarious.

  • I'm something of an anarchist myself

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's crazy that you can actually put the can IN the trash. Most games it would just sit awkwardly on top of a transparent hitbox. Never seen it myself, though... I'm something of a rebel.
