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 hadn’t heard about this before this morning.
Now I want to watch everything that was going to be presented.
You know you’re winning at life and on the right side of history when you threaten people’s families to prevent them from showing an indie movie.
If I had the money and ability to trust strangers I would hire people to clean my house for me.
I love the loop of “feel bad for not cleaning - depressed - don’t clean - stare at floor - feel bad for not cleaning…”
go fuck a duck
Poor duck…
“EU considers following modern Nazi policy”
SNAKE?!
“Dutch government does X”
“It’s them fuckin Americans again”
They might.
Personally I mean the entire country goes back to pre-1948 borders.
This is exactly the dumb shit take from y2k.
I Still hear people go on about how “it was supposed to be this big thing and then nothing happened! Smart people are so dumb!”
Yeah nothing happened because a lot of smart people worked very hard to fix the goddamn problem, you fucking shitwaffle.
Here? “You dum dums got so worked up thinking it would pass and then it didn’t, so the freak out was for nothing!” yeah it didn’t pass because a lot of Europeans got very upset about their governments trying to spy on them harder than ever.
I’m not European, so I can’t say how people talked about it openly on the metro with random strangers, but online? People were vocal and pissed. A PROPER government (lol can we have some of that functioning democracy please) listens to its people. This was them listening to the people.
The people’s reaction was appropriate, and necessary. And shouldn’t be lessened just because “lol you guys got so propaganda’d and it was obviously never gonna happen and I knew cause I’m so smart” is quite the take on things.
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…
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.
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”
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.
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.
I bought a toner printer in 2020 and I’m still on the first replacement cart. I have over 2000 pages printed.
Considering I spent $80, plus $40 on the new two pack of toner, I consider it money well spent.
I do wish I had bought a laser printer though… There are things I would like to begin printing that will be several thousand pages after it’s all finished. Mostly reference materials. DISREGRD THIS I DUM
If it’s only mildly interesting based on a “watch it right this second or never again”? Maybe 5 minutes, max. If it doesn’t capture my interest by minute 5, and I can’t find a summary anywhere (NOT “pOwErEd bY AI”)
Is it a video about prehistoric humans, their civilizations, a lore video on one of my favorite franchises, or a nature documentary? The current record is 6 hours and 38 minutes.
When you tell a funny story from your childhood but instead of laughing, your friend hugs you and says “I’m so sorry you went through that” :
“well you see, it’s perfectly reasonable that he murdered a surrendered soldier, as he was just following orders!”
The “just following orders” defense still going strong 80 years later.
I’m sure it’s going to be used a lot in the coming decades, assuming the governments actively involved in horrifying human rights abuses ever see any sort of reform…
