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.

  • The Israeli Military Strategies the BBC Doesn’t Want You to Know About

    Jump

  • 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"

  • A lot of media depict the United States as being invaded by fascists from the outside. Nobody thought fascism will come from within until now.

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Texas national guard troops head to Illinois after judge fails to block move

    Jump

  • It's because some people are still playing by a rulebook that's burning in the corner trash can. Some people are still concerned with "what's proper".

    In other words, "because she's living in a fantasy world where normally that would have been a bad look"

    Jump

  • So Texas is trying to kick off a civil war by invading another state.

  • Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptions

    Jump

  • reads manual

    You're only confused because I'm dumb! For some reason I was thinking toner and laser were separate types.

  • Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptions

    Jump

  • 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

  • Why do we still joke about setting up old wooden guillotines?

    Jump

  • Feel free to turn a blind eye to reality, not all of us are priveleged enough to do so.

  • PRAISE HIM

    Jump

  • If I wanted to go through the process of trying to recover my facebook, I guarantee I would get a few dozen people tossing out hand emojis and saying "amen" before anyone notices I'm not talking about the christian god

  • Altered World Event

    Jump

  • I still have the VHS I recorded it on back in the day. No vcr, but it's sitting in a box in my closet, waiting for the day when I want to see commercials for SG1 Mondays and other Sci fi shows.

    Also the DVD, since I actually want to watch it every so often...

    I keep introducing it to new people, but it seems to be a bit of a niche interest.

  • Why do we still joke about setting up old wooden guillotines?

    Jump

  • It must be nice, living in a fantasy world where good people win because they're good and the bad guys get to sit in jail for being bad.

    I would love it if we lived in an ideal world where everyone plays by the rules.

    I am not naive enough to think we live in that world.

  • 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.

  • Putin praises Trump but warns supplies of US long-range missiles to Ukraine will badly hurt ties

    Jump

  • Well, shit.

    I think Putler figured out how to make Trump slam his foot down about Ukranian support.

    Dementia Don has already praised this war criminal many times, he believes Putin is a poster child for being a strong man and great leader.

  • Russia targets UK military satellites on weekly basis

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Good example of someone who wasn’t paying attention to an issue until it affected them

  • Altered World Event

    Jump

  • I love the idea of Objects that can do things we can't explain.

    The Lost Room is probably what got me started, and Control really scratches that itch. I absolutely love the idea of The Oldest House.

  • How the US got left behind in the global electric car race

    1. Massive amounts of politicians and car company execs gleefully hopping into bed with fossil fuel companies for longer than almost anyone currently living has been around.

  • I wonder what game they're trying to play

    Jump

  • not a vibrator, it's a "personal massager" and how dare you suggest such a device could be used sexually!

  • Explaining your traumatic past IRL feels so underwhelming compared to when a character in a movie or tv scene revealing their traumatic childhood.
