And? So do many species. Doesn’t change anything.
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.

Personally I view it more as “find the right balance between technology and the other living things” and “take time to appreciate the things around you”
I would argue you can absolutely disprove it, empirically. By demonstrating. Just do the thing and go “wow it didn’t take forever!”


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.


Turning men into pigs?
Or just making their outside match their inside?
Note: no disrespect meant to the noble Sus genus, nor Sus Domesticus specifically. It is unfortunate that pig is used as a negative descriptor when pigs are actually quite clean and respectful creatures, unlike most men.


She tries to go around or leap over them, or runs across them like they’re a platform in a video game that will fall if you stand on them too long.
Likely she is ripping out paw pad hairs as the slats shift around and pinch together, and there is the possibility of getting claws stuck as well.
That’s why my largest dog doesn’t like them.


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…


Southern BBQ needs to make a comeback


If my employer tried to tell me I’m only getting paid when I’m actively using the equipment instead of the whole time I setting up and transferring materials, I’d have to get in line to set the place on fire


If the government declares a strike illegal, or tries to in any way compel the employees to return to work, they are explicitly telling the workers that they are nothing more than indentured servants, barely more than slaves. You exist to make these people money, now sit down and shut up before we throw you in prison for upsetting your betters.


They’re right about crime being way up in DC though.
Of course they’re leaving out the part where it’s the politicians being openly criminal.


They said “stupid”, not “evil”
Although I’d argue that any billionaire not actively dumping the bulk of their wealth and influence to sort out world hunger, homelessness, and inequality is being evil.


Fuck it I’m buying it now.
Half life 2 was my first “I can’t wait to get home and play” game, despite having played so many games from basically 97 onward.


Same shit, different tech.
The methods of madness change, but madness it remains.


1 it was too expensive to move out and honestly without the added income I provided my parents would have lost their house on multiple occasions
2 I got one the fall after I graduated
3 this one took awhile
4 lol no. Never. Children are the worst. I should know, I used to be one.


The older people I know who vote Democrat complain all the time about how expensive everything is these days and nobody can afford anything.
The bullshit “Nobody wants to work” narrative is absolutely pushed by conservatives.


It seems like every time it goes on sale, I am either between contracts or just not able to justify the unnecessary expense.
Now that I have more stable employment it hasn’t gone on sale.
Honestly this by itself might be enough to make me pay full price.
I wonder how long it took, considering they wrote a script to convert the original transcription into PZ usable stuff.
10/10 mod, no pattern buffer for you.
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…
