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.

    NYS rangers

    How did I miss that part? That’s on me.

    Yeah state parks, rangers, and anything that positively manages government land has always gotten the short end of the stick. The state police aren’t as militarily kitted out as some local PDs, at least in my experience.

    A state park near where I grew up was basically begging for volunteers because they didn’t have the budget to take care of the park more than 3ft from the parking lot. (mild exaggeration, but you get the idea)

    This whole time I’ve been thinking its some local city cops with too much time and not enough training…

    That’s the point.

    Set the bar low, but just high enough that tons of people still trip over it.

    Sit back and enjoy the comment wars.

    The people who are confident but wrong are too proud to admit they were wrong even if they realize it, and comment angrily.

    The people who are right and know why, comment for corrections and some to show off how S-M-R-T they are.

    The people who are wrong but willing to accept that just have their realization and probably don’t think about it again. So do the people who don’t know and/or care.

    But those first two groups will keep the post going in both shares and comments, because “look at all these wrong people”

    It’s all designed to boost engagement.

    It’s the texture.

    The taste is distinct, but not really bad. I don’t mind the mild flavor left over in a sandwich that had a tomato slice.

    But I can’t stand the texture of a tomato. Not sure exactly why, but even a small chunk in soup or salsa makes me gag. I blend salsa up so it’s consistent.

    And onions are both for me. A tiny piece of onion will ruin the entire burrito. From the weird crunch to the taste that lingers even after I down a few chips and half my drink.

    I go through onion powder fairly quick though, I add a little bit to a lot of my dishes.

    You’re not fooling anyone, Communist.

    Congrats on winning the argument, anyone who gets told this. If their entire argument is “you’re a commu-social-marxist” then they have no argument and they’re delusionally living in the McCarthy age.

    Who the fuck do you think you’re talking to like this?

    LMAO am I supposed to know who this guy is? Because this sounds like an “I’m so important you should have more respect and by respect I mean do what I say” but it could be a “you aren’t fooling anyone” I suppose.

    200 XYZ employees are riding a metro line and 150 are in 3 busses, and they all decide to drive one day, OH look there are now up to 350 extra cars on the road today, all going to the same building.

    Please tell me how it’s XYZ employees themselves that create congestion and not the extra 350 cars, without saying something along the lines of “if they didn’t all decide to drive that day” or “they should have done something else”
