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.

  • Useless knowledge: a black hole can technically exist inside a super-massive star.

    The gravity of the black hole pulls in hydrogen, the force of the hydrogen fusion and Hawking radiation pressure from the black hole try to push the hydrogen/star stuff out.

    For awhile at least, with enough supply of hydrogen (that likely doesn't exist in a large concentrated enough supply), it can hold itself in balance as the biggest star you've never seen.

    Note: take this with a grain of salt, this is my understanding of a kurzgesagt video I watched while high.

  • I don't like all the videos of "red flag vs green flag" and "AITA" posts my wife shows me.

    She doesn't like the piano-comedy skits and blacksmithing videos I show her.

    We both watch the videos, and discuss them after watching.

    Crazy how couples work out like that!

  • Dyshan Best, 39, was shot in the back last year as he fled from officers in Bridgeport, Connecticut. A report released Tuesday by the state’s inspector general found that the shooting was justified because Best had a gun in his hand and the officer pursuing him had reasons to fear for his own safety.

    If I shoot a rich white man in the back who is running away from me and claim I "feared for my life" I'd probably get the death penalty.

  • My coworkers have already managed to blame Obama for making a "shitty deal" with Iran, and Biden for not "dealing with Iran sooner"

  • As usual, I'm left wishing I had the money for an EV.

    Yes, ideally I'd rather be able to use my bicycle and cargo trailer for shopping and public transit for work, but thats literally nonexistent.

  • Too many to count, and more than I even remember.

    I went without internet in an area not friendly to children being outside, so I watched movies in no particular order over and over. Just "yeah I haven't watched this in a few weeks" and re-watch.

    Lord of The Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek, Monty Python (all), Princess Bride, MIB, Evolution, Terminator 1&2, Starship Trooper... Honestly most popular Sci fi movies from the 90s... The sound of music, fiddler on the roof, a bunch of musicals..

    I'm sure I watched the classic disney movies many times.

    I know people who buy watch a movie and then don't feel like watching any of them ever again.

  • Yes, it does.

    So why doesn't the other person ever bother picking theirs up first for a change?

  • Every public figure who uses the term “Gulf of America” should be taken out to the exact center of it and left there in a life boat.

    No need to waste the life boat...

  • Why do that and risk actually losing, when you can go after the small guy and send a message to the plebs?

  • My hometown has a kenworth plant

    Kenworth has a bad habit of putting huge parking lots for their truck everywhere they can, and then leaving them unattended for months on end.

    Kenworth learned the hard way that they need to keep better control over where they leave their shit, otherwise people who have a reason to hate them (which is a lot of people around there) might fuck with their trucks and cause millions in damages.

  • 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.

  • I don't do it on purpose, but sometimes the speed limit changes and I don't notice until someone passes me and I look at the GPS and see I'm going too slow.

    I wait for the passing cars to get ahead of me before speeding up though.

  • You don't even need the civics class, just watch that one schoolhouse rock video.

  • If I had the means, I'd have left years ago.

  • Having already brought this point up with a MAGAt at work, she honestly thinks they will make exceptions for all married women.

    The mental gymnastics and denial of reality is exhausting.

  • And cheap to boot. Super duper simple. Honestly you could make your own with a set of mini pliers and a stiff paper clip.

    It's just two points to hold either side of the stem while you rotate it out.

    I have a few at any given time since I work on bicycles in my spare time, and have passed out a few at protests.

  • Even as a child, I was confused by "Support Our Troops" because if you want to support them, why are you sending them to die on the other side of the planet? If you want to support them, why are so many veterans being denied Healthcare?

    My dad is a veteran with service related hearing loss, and getting anything from the VA is like trying to grab the sun. I've heard so many stories from vets trying to get their various injuries just looked at.

    "support our troops" was always just a canned line to make idiots feel good about sending others to die for the rich.

  • It’s an accurate snapshot of the American executive branch right now

    Don't sell us short, it's also an accurate snapshot of the legislative and judicial branches, as well as about 30% of the general population!

  • 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.
