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 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.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
Seems like a well-regulated militia would go a long way here.
has a left-wing bias
So does reality.
But some people are, perplexingly, still concerned with “being fair”.
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”
Inside those shells is a tiny disco ball
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.
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”
So Texas is trying to kick off a civil war by invading another state.
My wife’s best friend’s roommate believes she is a witch that casts spells to bring her wealth and fame, and in her words, they “don’t seem to be working” and she “doesn’t know what she’s doing wrong” because she “followed the spell perfectly”
She also refused to use my spare hammock when she tagged along unexpectedly over the weekend until she could burn some sage and waft it around because apparently my hammock was apparently possessed by someone who died in a hammock.
She also asked, repeatedly, if she could do a tarot card reading, but warned me if I wanted to try and ask the same yes or no question, her deck “likes to be a catty bitch” and give random answers. Crazy how that works out…
My wife also used to live with some people who claimed to be a witch and a warlock and that their property was haunted by natives who had been buried there and I would absolutely 100% see them if I ever spent the night. Sadly, despite assurances that they were around every night, I didn’t see them any of the times I stayed over, even when I camped in a tent half a mile from the house.
And quite a few people around me are super duper into crystal healing.
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.
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. 
Weird, I was literally just thinking about FLoB last week, and meant to see if he ever got there.
My wife asked what I was doing, so that side tracked me into explaining the Far Lands, and we ended up playing Minecraft for the night.
I honestly expected it to take WAY longer to get there.
reads manual
You’re only confused because I’m dumb! For some reason I was thinking toner and laser were separate types.
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…
