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.

    Well since the US government doesn’t own a massive body of water, nor can it truly claim to own a mountain that’s been around for 200 million years (I’m not sure of the actual age of the range, I’m just basing off geologic maps of bedrock age) , i hold the “new names” in the same regard as I would if someone intruduced themselves as Bill but some guy keeps yelling at me “HER NAME IS AMY DON’T CALL HER BILL”

    I give the crackhead down the street who calls the three block area his “domain” more respect than the US regime.





  • In the current world, we don’t care about what you should and shouldn’t do to protect yourself, but only about what appears to be proper

    We can’t actually DO anything, because they haven’t officially declared an open war, and defending yourself against attacks just wouldn’t be proper

    Now please go quietly protest away from anyone that considers it an inconvenience. It’s what’s proper, you know.

    Note: I am from the US and when I say “we” I mean the collective peoples of earth, not to indicate I am from the UK.



  • Imagine veing the poor minimum wage employee that had to put that sign up before clocking out for the last time.

    “Yeah, I made sure to lock up before I left, the fire alarm and security system were all running fine, and as nearby CCTV cameras will show I left the building and headed in the direction of home, I have no idea what could have caused the electrical issues that made them both stop functioning right before the store burned down. Of course since I lost my job, it’s not really MY problem, now is it? click

    I want a Bluetooth physical phone so I can slam the receiver down and hang up with flair


  • Damn, that’s the same bass-ackwards logic that record companies use to say piracy makes them lose money.

    Spoiler alert: the majority of people pirating your stuff would not have otherwise purchased it. You have lost nothing.

    Similarly, the majority of people using gamepass to play the game would absolutely not have bought the game, especially since it’s the same game as last time, with new names and skins.

    For instance: the last call of duty game I bought was MW3. I only played black ops 2 when someone got two copies for their birthday and gave one to me I only remember playing for the zombies. I have played a total of less than 30 minutes, from startup screen to shutdown, of all the call of duties since then. Absolutely no chance in hell I’d buy another one. But I’m sure Microsoft would have included me trying it out as a potential lost sale of every one of them.









  • I like asking these types of Nationalist Christians (Nat-C’s if you like) to show me in the Bible where it says to do the things they’re doing.

    9/10 times I’ve read more of the Bible than they have, simply due to me reading the whole thing at least 3 times in my life, front to back. Most Christians haven’t read an entire book, let alone the whole thing. They just get their cherry-picked feel-good verses on Sunday and that’s it.

    So usually I can bring up more verses that say something different than they’re claiming, or giving context that shows their interpretation to be wrong.

    My absolute favorite is when they say homosexuality is wrong. Why? Because leviticus says “you shouldn’t sleep with me as you would a woman”, therefore it’s a sin! Oh wait you mean that 1: the oldest copies we have use words in a language that means “young boys” or “apprentices” and not “men”? And therefore mean don’t fuck children? 2: You mean that the word “Homosexual” didn’t appear IN ANY copy until the mid 1900s? When world wars were putting a dent into populations and being anything other than a straight child-producing married couple meant you were vilified? And you ALSO mean to tell me that leviticus is giving instructions for Jewish priests on how to behave, and not the everyday person anyway?

    Oh and by the way abortion: Numbers 5, selling your daughter: exodus 21, the 13th Ammendment is against your God and his book: leviticus 25, if you spoke ill of Biden or Obama, you sinned: ephesians 6, you BETTER not be wearing blended cloth: leviticus 19, and a personal favorite, the Bible is pornographic: Ezekiel 23.
