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.

  • Look up “Certifiably Ingame” on whatever front-end of youtube you use, and check out his Playlist on starships. He goes into detail about various classes and specific named ships, and for the classes will bring up their naming conventions and uses and whatnot.

    Side note: I don’t understand the idea that an animated comedy show is somehow “less Canon” than a live action drama show.

    Why?

    LD is just as Canon as discovery. Honestly discovery, in my opinion, is entirely implausible because the runners were adamant that it be set before TOS, but the tech and shipsizes is definitely post DS9. Possibly even golden age of exploration huge.

    But for some reason lower Decks is “not Canon” to some people…





  • Galaxy Quest is Hands down the best star trek movie.

    Confession time: I actually love every single movie except the motion picture. Sorry but it’s boring. I don’t understand the hate Insurrection gets. Other than sexist dialog and weird attempt to change the previously established “not-a-relationship-it’s-complicated” thing Picard and Dr. Crusher have going on… Which I try to ignore and pretend the writers room didn’t have RICK RATFUCK BERMAN’s influence…


  • I don’t give them my license, I only need to show it to them. They can copy down the relevant information needed to verify it’s legitimacy the same way they do when they take it.

    I don’t need to roll down my window, I only need to communicate with them. They can speak up and I am more than capable of yelling so they don’t misunderstand anything. An open window is not needed unless someone plans on reaching through it, which neither of us need to do.

    I don’t need to give them my insurance card, they only need to know it’s current and for this vehicle. Again they can copy down relevant information and call the insurance company later, which they weren’t going to do anyway.

    I don’t need to tell them where I was, or where I was going, as it’s none of their business and not relevant to the stop, which was likely for failing to signal properly, or speeding due to a missed sign.

    There’s plenty you dont HAVE to tell them, give them, or show them, but if you’re going to do any of the above, know your state and local laws regarding these, and don’t be intentionally rude, since they’re already going to be pissy.

    Also note: it’s much easier to get through this sort of interaction if you’re white. We all know cops are racist shitbags just looking for an excuse.

    I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, just someone who is tired of being targeted in the areas around Columbus Ohio that are known for pulling people over for the slightest of infractions in order to go fishing for a reason to arrest someone.




  • Well yeah, their entire lives have been spent sucking oil dick, their entire foundation of their wealth is tied up in oil, and even though they’re rich enough to pivot entirely and never feel a difference in their lives, they’re stuck in the sunk cost mentality.

    It’s too risky to invest in a brand new industry that’s on shaky legs. Never mind that it stopped being a “new” industry decades ago and has proven it will do quite well, and is thriving. They stopped paying attention to real life many many decades ago. As far as they are concerned, they didn’t have to do any sort of personal growth, so they are woefully out of touch with reality.

    Oil is what was there when they (or their parents they inherited wealth from) were kids, so obviously they have to dig their heels in to keep oil from flopping. Anything else is secondary.


  • Mkultra is STILL treated like some nut job conspiracy theory.

    I bring it up as example of how the government will do whatever to whoever and lie for decades, fuck the consequences.

    People look at me like I’m crazy, and plenty have even straight up told me mk ulta isn’t real, is just a conspiracy, just an excuse for hippies who did too many drugs, any number of “that didn’t happen” excuses. Including “if it actually happened, we would know”. To which I responded “THEY FUCKING ADMITTED IT” and that was the end of the conversation because I cursed and therefore lost an “argument” I didn’t know I was in…

    Ohio is crazy…
