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.
And the United States government, whose nuclear launch systems for decades had a default “0000000” password on systems so old they figured nobody would know how to hack them in person anymore, and they’re incompatible with the internet.
It’s disturbing to me that my high school hobby of fixing and operating old computers meant I could have launched nukes.
The misfits in question: you wanna take on “The Man” but your mom says you have to be back inside by 5:30 so you can go get a pair of JNCO jeans at the mall.
Last year most of the fields around me turned to slop as it was too wet for many weeks, and most fields couldn’t get equipment through the mud
While jailed and unable to pay bills, Lipps lost her home, her car and her dog, she said
Fuck suing, I’m going to prison for murder. I can live without the stuff, but if someone touches my dog they must not like living.
I’ve been managing to drag some of them further left, I think, through conversation about things.
A few are 100% on board with a union as long as I keep calling it “collective bargaining” and don’t use the scary U word.
A few are on board with most social safety nets, especially when they find out Healthcare would cost less than it currently costs them in taxes alone, let alone not having to pay for insurance anymore, but the second you call it socialism or use any sort of word like “welfare” then they panic.
Individually I think I’m breaking some of them, but collectively they’re fucking idiots.
There’s a pretty simple test, IMO
Ask a person “is bombing a school filled with children okay as long as the end goal brings about the end of the world?”
If they answer “yes” then just immediately drop them into a meat grinder and use the remains for fertilizer.
Maybe it’s my cynical side, but I genuinely don’t think people like that can be fixed, so while it might be considered “cruel” it’s better to just put them out of everyone’s (including their own) misery, a “nuthouse” just gives them a place to congregate and keep trying to spread their hate.
Dyshan Best, 39, was shot in the back last year as he fled from officers in Bridgeport, Connecticut. A report released Tuesday by the state’s inspector general found that the shooting was justified because Best had a gun in his hand and the officer pursuing him had reasons to fear for his own safety.
If I shoot a rich white man in the back who is running away from me and claim I “feared for my life” I’d probably get the death penalty.
My coworkers have already managed to blame Obama for making a “shitty deal” with Iran, and Biden for not “dealing with Iran sooner”
Too many to count, and more than I even remember.
I went without internet in an area not friendly to children being outside, so I watched movies in no particular order over and over. Just “yeah I haven’t watched this in a few weeks” and re-watch.
Lord of The Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek, Monty Python (all), Princess Bride, MIB, Evolution, Terminator 1&2, Starship Trooper… Honestly most popular Sci fi movies from the 90s… The sound of music, fiddler on the roof, a bunch of musicals…
I’m sure I watched the classic disney movies many times.
I know people who buy watch a movie and then don’t feel like watching any of them ever again.
Why do that and risk actually losing, when you can go after the small guy and send a message to the plebs?
The rich Douchebags that control every country don’t give a shit if the plebs starve. They’ll never know hunger.
“Eat the rich”, as always.
I don’t do it on purpose, but sometimes the speed limit changes and I don’t notice until someone passes me and I look at the GPS and see I’m going too slow.
I wait for the passing cars to get ahead of me before speeding up though.
You don’t even need the civics class, just watch that one schoolhouse rock video.
You know, I was considering putting the potential downside of “one country might just have a young and jacked leader that can thrash all the old rich people” but figured my comment was getting too long for anyone to care to read.
I think at that point the people would just have to chuck him in an active volcano instead of a pit.
It’s mind-boggling that the entire history of war hasn’t been “our leaders decided they wanted a war so we tossed them in a pit with sharp sticks to figure things out and suddenly they decided war was avoidable”
We have more in common with a random American Crack dealer, a random middle-Eastern farmer, Chinese retail worker, South American factory worker, than anyone who leads major countries, anyone in the 1%.
I have no ill will toward any Iranian, in fact I’ve known quite a few immigrants and think better of Iran than most US states, yet my country leaders decided it was a good idea to bomb the fuck out of them. We should toss them in a hole until they can work together with the rest of us, yet here we are…
Because not enough people are heading out in the dead of night with dark nondescript clothing, a large mask, some small tools, and smashing the ever-loving fuck out of the very unprotected cameras.
Someone around my area has been going out and riding a generic dark colored mountain bike and destroying some of the cameras in the area. Cops sitting to watch them kind of defeats the purpose of them and they’re largely left alone, and if they have hidden cameras to watch them, they aren’t capturing enough info to lead to an arrest.
I am in no way advocating that people bring a hacksaw and/or cordless sawzall to pull the poles down, crack open the solar panel housing, and cannibalize the battery and solar panel to reuse with mesh radios to help resist illegal occupations and state-led domestic terrorism.
Only if you’re racist, I guess.
Well, the lightweight is gonna be a problem, but I typically take breaks of at least a month when I stock up on more stuff.
Not a ginger, just weirdly tolerant to thc without having built one up.
On the one hand, I have about $1400 saved
On the other hand, I got fired yesterday…
So uh… Yay?
My parents have no savings at all and my mother got fired from her job 2 weeks ago, they’re both a few years from retirement age but definitely won’t be able to.
It’s been a fun year.
