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.

  • Companies make absolute fucking bank over “small insignificant” things like this.

    Yes it’s only 50¢ but how many people every day think to themselves “oh it’s just 50 cents”

    Then add that up over the whole year, for every location.

    It quickly becomes much more than the “insignificant” 50¢.

    And they know you are more likely to pay it and keep quiet than argue or simply not buy the item.

    Sure it’s “just 50 cents” for you, but for the company, by the end of the day it’s more than most make in a year.

    Note: actual dollar amounts company-wide for garlic cups is not something I happen to know, but based on how much I’ve seen them slinging cups into the boxes while I wait for my pizza, it’s gotta be a lot.






  • I’ve seen a lot of comments on various websites lately lamenting that there isn’t a judge “or somebody” that’s stepping in to say “no”

    Like… We’re it.

    The people that could have done something say back and handed the reigns over, because anything else would be “improper” and not following the rules.

    And the people in the most effective positions to “fight back” in any sort of legal manner have all been rolling over like a good dog waiting for a treat, or quitting “in protest” before anything happens which just opens up a spot for a loyal stooge.

    So there’s nobody coming to save you as you watch from the side. We are it.

    Organize with people who share similar goals. But be smart about it so you don’t get raided by the alphabet squad for being too supportive of black people and trans people a “terrorist organization”

    Be the change you want to see in the world. Because republicunts and magats are trying to ruin it before you realize you can help change it.

    And when your very existence becomes illegal, why bother with the social contract at all.


  • I was actually asked to leave my parents church because I was loudly arguing with the guy running a gift shop that if I were to follow Jesus, I should be flipping these tables, chasing them with whips, and damming them for turning gods house into a place of business occupied by thieves.

    I guess they DON’T like considering what Jesus would do.

    It’s the equivalent of me holding up a brick while crossing the road.

    I don’t want to throw it at someone’s windshield. I’d rather not deal with that headache.

    But if you zoom on through, I can’t guarantee I’ll maintain my grip on it, and it’s going through your windshield.

    Slow down and we will never have to find out what that brick looks like soaring through the air.

    Also daily reminder that Armed Minorities are harder to oppress.
