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.

    You're only confused because I'm dumb! For some reason I was thinking toner and laser were separate types.

  • I bought a toner printer in 2020 and I'm still on the first replacement cart. I have over 2000 pages printed.

    Considering I spent $80, plus $40 on the new two pack of toner, I consider it money well spent.

    I do wish I had bought a laser printer though... There are things I would like to begin printing that will be several thousand pages after it's all finished. Mostly reference materials. DISREGRD THIS I DUM

  • Feel free to turn a blind eye to reality, not all of us are priveleged enough to do so.

  • Well since the US government doesn't own a massive body of water, nor can it truly claim to own a mountain that's been around for 200 million years (I'm not sure of the actual age of the range, I'm just basing off geologic maps of bedrock age) , i hold the "new names" in the same regard as I would if someone intruduced themselves as Bill but some guy keeps yelling at me "HER NAME IS AMY DON'T CALL HER BILL"

    I give the crackhead down the street who calls the three block area his "domain" more respect than the US regime.

    Jump

  • I still have the VHS I recorded it on back in the day. No vcr, but it's sitting in a box in my closet, waiting for the day when I want to see commercials for SG1 Mondays and other Sci fi shows.

    Also the DVD, since I actually want to watch it every so often...

    I keep introducing it to new people, but it seems to be a bit of a niche interest.

  • It must be nice, living in a fantasy world where good people win because they're good and the bad guys get to sit in jail for being bad.

    I would love it if we lived in an ideal world where everyone plays by the rules.

    I am not naive enough to think we live in that world.

  • If it's only mildly interesting based on a "watch it right this second or never again"? Maybe 5 minutes, max. If it doesn't capture my interest by minute 5, and I can't find a summary anywhere (NOT "pOwErEd bY AI")

    Is it a video about prehistoric humans, their civilizations, a lore video on one of my favorite franchises, or a nature documentary? The current record is 6 hours and 38 minutes.

  • Putin praises Trump but warns supplies of US long-range missiles to Ukraine will badly hurt ties

    Jump

  • Well, shit.

    I think Putler figured out how to make Trump slam his foot down about Ukranian support.

    Dementia Don has already praised this war criminal many times, he believes Putin is a poster child for being a strong man and great leader.

  • Russia targets UK military satellites on weekly basis

  • In the current world, we don't care about what you should and shouldn't do to protect yourself, but only about what appears to be proper

    We can't actually DO anything, because they haven't officially declared an open war, and defending yourself against attacks just wouldn't be proper

    Now please go quietly protest away from anyone that considers it an inconvenience. It's what's proper, you know.

    Note: I am from the US and when I say "we" I mean the collective peoples of earth, not to indicate I am from the UK.

  • Microsoft reportedly estimated that Game Pass led to $300 million in lost sales of Black Ops 6, with 82% of copies sold being on the Game Pass-less PlayStation 5

    Jump

  • I used to play black ops 1 a shitload. I was fresh out of highschool and it was my first online game after getting internet. I already liked FPS games and this was interactive FPS with actual skilled people instead of shitty bullet sponge bots.

    As for why people love them so much now? I have no idea. I'm sure I also wouldn't have cared for them if I had played online games earlier in life.

    I'd much rather have a compelling story nowadays.

  • On their closing sign: Claire's blaming the "radical left" for shutting down

  • Imagine veing the poor minimum wage employee that had to put that sign up before clocking out for the last time.

    "Yeah, I made sure to lock up before I left, the fire alarm and security system were all running fine, and as nearby CCTV cameras will show I left the building and headed in the direction of home, I have no idea what could have caused the electrical issues that made them both stop functioning right before the store burned down. Of course since I lost my job, it's not really MY problem, now is it? click"

    I want a Bluetooth physical phone so I can slam the receiver down and hang up with flair

  • Damn, that's the same bass-ackwards logic that record companies use to say piracy makes them lose money.

    Spoiler alert: the majority of people pirating your stuff would not have otherwise purchased it. You have lost nothing.

    Similarly, the majority of people using gamepass to play the game would absolutely not have bought the game, especially since it's the same game as last time, with new names and skins.

    For instance: the last call of duty game I bought was MW3. I only played black ops 2 when someone got two copies for their birthday and gave one to me I only remember playing for the zombies. I have played a total of less than 30 minutes, from startup screen to shutdown, of all the call of duties since then. Absolutely no chance in hell I'd buy another one. But I'm sure Microsoft would have included me trying it out as a potential lost sale of every one of them.

  • I love the idea of Objects that can do things we can't explain.

    The Lost Room is probably what got me started, and Control really scratches that itch. I absolutely love the idea of The Oldest House.
