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.

  • I play women where possible because if I'm going to be staring at an ass for 150 hours, it might as well be a pretty one. never even enters 3rd person except to check out the cool armors that hide almost every bit of skin anyway

    Yes my skyrim mods folder is filled with style and immersion mods geared for female characters, why do you ask?

    And also all the time I spend carefully crafting the face to sort of look vaguely like me but as a girl and all the attention to hair and makeup and making sure my nails look nice with the weapon I'm holding and constantly imagining myself in her place are all completely normal cis things to do.

  • The sad truth is a lot of religious people believe that the end times won't come unless the earth isn't livable anymore.

    A even LARGER group of religious simply think their sky person will give them a new earth that's perfect so why bother protecting this one.

    They and their supporters are complicit in the murder of the planet at best, and are trashing everything on purpose, trying to claw back any and every support of things that can make it a better place.

  • Regular Transporters don't work like that. The flux matrix compensates for any discrepancies in the patterns pre- vs post-buffer.

    I suppose if you built a new transporter type from the ground up instead of using these old starfleet or klingon modules, you could bypass the Bopple Corbulator entirely and the pattern buffer would accept the new parameters.

    But who has time for that...

  • Literally, yes.

    My supervisor at work has 2 broken teeth and one is cracking, he can't have food on his right side of his mouth and about once a month has go eat soft foods because the cracked tooth on his left side hurts again.

    Another coworker has a knife wound because he managed to slice his arm open with his own folding knife (not suicidal just stupid), and he's just self-treating even though it looks infected.

    I have had bronchitis multiple times in my life when I didn't have any insurance and even when I was so weak it took all my strength to crawl to the bathroom, going without eating for several days because I can't make it downstairs to the kitchen, because just the urgent care visit would have sent me into years of debt.

    My sister ignored signs of cancer until her daughter asked her to go to the doctor. It could have been operated on if she had gone earlier. Now it's chemo and fingers crossed.

    This shithole country kicks people when they're down andat least 1/3 of the population is polishing the boot as the rich are kicking us.

  • Too Dumb to Be a Cop

    That's unpossible.

  • Two Questions: (1) Does the first-born child in a family "mature" faster than the later-born children? (2) How common is the feeling of "feeling immature"/"feeling like a child" as a young adult?

    Jump

  • I my experience, the oldest child is forced to mature faster by being required to perform childcare duties, especially in families with many children.

    Younger siblings basically "get to be a kid" longer than older ones.

    This is unfair to both older and younger siblings for a myriad of reasons, but both are a failure of parenting, and society as a whole. The parents should not be forcing the dynamic, and society should not be putting parents in a position where they feel they have to.

    As for "feeling immature" as an adult... That is entirely dependent on what you measure maturity by. My wife and I sing nonsense tunes at each other, sometimes just look up and go "QUACK!" for no reason. We have gone to a playground to go swinging. We have gone outside to play in the snow.

    I didn't get my first job without my mother's help until 20. I didn't get my license until 26. I didn't get my first full time job until 33. I absolutely hate going to a store at all, let alone by myself. Although if I'm being honest I would rather go by myself since it's faster and less chance of my wife grabbing 10 extra things because we passed the aisle and she went something snack-y.

    Remember, "Autism Spectrum Disorder" is, as the name implies, a spectrum. As such everyone is on it. Most people are gathered in a general area area (the people who would be considered "normal" by someone who has a more traditional old way of thinking) I personally believe I'm a little further toward the "autism" side, based on a bunch of comparing my personal experience with others who are diagnosed. I don't believe it's that big a deal for me, as I am fully capable of functioning on my own as an adult.

    A bit of armchair psychology, I'd wager you're a bit like my wife and due to narcissistic and withholding parents you likely need more reassurance than the average person. This isn't a failure on your part at all, and it's not a "developmental disability" it's just a bit of childhood trauma.

    To answer more directly:

    In my opinion, yes eldest siblings often mature faster. Feeling immature is probably normal, and maturity is a pretty vague notion in general. ASD in general isn't as big a deal as many people think. If you'll forgive me for saying so, your family kind of sucks.

  • Gotta shift those goalposts.

    I'm sure if we ever manage to organize a national, indefinite strike, there will still be people like this saying it's not real action so it's irrelevant.

    Some people won't be happy until they see bodies of dead Americans in a bloody civil war, but they just don't have the courage to come out and say it.

  • It's a goal if you're so fucking disgustingly rich you can buy a private island and haven't seen the poors since your office was close enough to them you could faintly make out a small dot.

    Because you'll have enough wealth to survive the shit storm, and then there's nothing those dirty plebians can do to stop you from basically deciding how things run from now on in your little corner.

    I'm making an assumption here that you aren't disgustingly rich and therefore the thought of "fuck 8 billion other people if I get mine" didn't come naturally to you.

  • Where do they get off?

    Jump

  • I mean, yeah, being required to do something or else you'll be starving and homeless is pretty fucked up and worthy of a day being ruined.

  • Will they wake up before it's too late?

    Jump

  • Many of us are resisting, but there's so much more in the way of organizing in the US that isn't a problem in other countries.

    I'd love for us to band together like I see France doing. Shut down entire cities just by simply being in the street protesting.

    However, it's a lot harder to get people together on something when half the people who want to help are one paycheck from being homeless and starving or dying from their untreated illness without Healthcare.

    It's harder to organize when the people who want to organize are spread out over 300 million square miles.

    It's harder to organize when historically any left-leaning group is constantly hounded by the Alphabet Squad (fbi/nsa/dhs/etc) and Republicans will abandon their guns before letting performative gasp a black man have one.

    Many of us are resisting, but when 1/3 of the population is cheering this shit on, 1/3 can't be bothered to make up their minds, and the entire system stacked against the remaining 1/3 that will at least vote for a chance at change.

    Personally I'm helping network immigrants and their families near me so they have a plan of action if something happens and they need to leave quickly, physically protesting when I can, training firearms with some of the LGBT people I know, and trying to get some of the "on the fence" crowd I know to see reason.

    It's not much, but it's what I can do without becoming just some dead nut job in the street.

  • I'm sure that England has been glad to be rid of us for quite some time. We haven't been very good allies in my lifetime, let alone before that.

    I'm also equally sure plenty of Americans today would rather be somewhere in the UK.
