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.
As former enlisted, I wonder if at any point while floating to the ground they thought to themselves “holy shit, I’m gonna die in a desert for pedophiles, why did I go along with this?”
At least one gets to think twice for now, but I doubt they will.
I haven’t read it in full in well over 15 years, but that comment made me go find it.
I am not okay today if this is making me cry and I just woke up an hour ago…
I love it
Sitting in whichever space I can fit it, usually tangled up with my wife’s bike.
Space isn’t abundant where we are and they’re bulky.
But hey, weather is off-and-on good enough to ride, so we get to use them plenty.
It’s called “executive dysfunction” and it doesn’t make you lazy.
Personally I choose to believe violet08 is a robotic cat, and simply pretending to be a woman in hornyposting mode because they enjoy trolling.
Because the kind of brain that thinks “I deserve all this money” is broken, and not even close to resembling the brain that thinks “I should use the extra money I have to help others”
The two things are incompatible. Shit, I wouldn’t even feel comfortable showing my face to employees who don’t earn close to what I take. I’d be too ashamed that I’m essentially stealing from them since I’m not doing to work of 20 people (let alone 150,000) by myself.
The brain that doesn’t have that shame doesn’t even think about others, unless it’s in the context of “how can I exploit this”
Well, it’ll be taught, just not as official curriculum.
I learned about a man from Nantucket at school.
I’ve been managing to drag some of them further left, I think, through conversation about things.
A few are 100% on board with a union as long as I keep calling it “collective bargaining” and don’t use the scary U word.
A few are on board with most social safety nets, especially when they find out Healthcare would cost less than it currently costs them in taxes alone, let alone not having to pay for insurance anymore, but the second you call it socialism or use any sort of word like “welfare” then they panic.
Individually I think I’m breaking some of them, but collectively they’re fucking idiots.
There’s a pretty simple test, IMO
Ask a person “is bombing a school filled with children okay as long as the end goal brings about the end of the world?”
If they answer “yes” then just immediately drop them into a meat grinder and use the remains for fertilizer.
Maybe it’s my cynical side, but I genuinely don’t think people like that can be fixed, so while it might be considered “cruel” it’s better to just put them out of everyone’s (including their own) misery, a “nuthouse” just gives them a place to congregate and keep trying to spread their hate.
My coworkers have already managed to blame Obama for making a “shitty deal” with Iran, and Biden for not “dealing with Iran sooner”
The rich Douchebags that control every country don’t give a shit if the plebs starve. They’ll never know hunger.
“Eat the rich”, as always.
You know, I was considering putting the potential downside of “one country might just have a young and jacked leader that can thrash all the old rich people” but figured my comment was getting too long for anyone to care to read.
I think at that point the people would just have to chuck him in an active volcano instead of a pit.

From someone who remembers the people’s champions…
[X] Doubt
It’s mind-boggling that the entire history of war hasn’t been “our leaders decided they wanted a war so we tossed them in a pit with sharp sticks to figure things out and suddenly they decided war was avoidable”
We have more in common with a random American Crack dealer, a random middle-Eastern farmer, Chinese retail worker, South American factory worker, than anyone who leads major countries, anyone in the 1%.
I have no ill will toward any Iranian, in fact I’ve known quite a few immigrants and think better of Iran than most US states, yet my country leaders decided it was a good idea to bomb the fuck out of them. We should toss them in a hole until they can work together with the rest of us, yet here we are…
Surely imperialist countries with interests in an area wouldn’t go and lie about things???
Next you’re gonna tell me the US lied about WMDs in 2001…
Probably “medical examiner” or similar medical doctor that does work for the police to determine things like cause of death and other injuries possibly obtained while dying.
It’s not really heartbreaking when you know the reason the worst person you know is even talking is to try and distract from their own shit.
Doesn’t make it less true, just less heartbreaking.
