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.
Violent protest? Prison.
No violent protest? Straight to Prison.
Talking online about possibly organizing a non violent protest? Believe it or not… Also prison.
Gee, when it’s prison no matter what, I wonder what people will do? Hmm.
HMMMMMMMMMMM
Lmao this guy thinks hard work is what makes people rich instead of massive amounts of exploitation in an inherently exploitative economic system…
I know a few book collectors.
My personal favorite is a middle aged guy who buys hardback of mostly science fiction and fantasy books, in large bulk boxes.
If he’s already got it, he gives it away. If not, new shelf filler.
He has a cabinet out in front of his house that he puts books in with a sign that says “Free books, please take one” and occasionally other people will leave one or two inside it.
And if he knows anyone that’s interested in specific types of books, he offers up any extras to them first. All around pretty chill dude. Reads maybe one book a year.
The other ones I know are just collectors of old books from previous centuries, and don’t even open them.
Collectors are weird to me. Why collect something you never plan on using? Stamps are one thing, but books?
The ignorance is willful
🌎🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀
Old people and overreacting to normal things because new ideas are scary and confusing
Name a more iconic duo
“When you are of working age and you have no more days off this week”
FTFY
No need for pointless generational divides, we’re all exhausted from this hell life.
I’ve started directly questioning the intelligence of people who can’t understand how ocean and air currents work to stabilize polar vortices and disruption of those currents causes disruption of super cold air.
And I have started getting a bit condescending while saying this as if any third grader should understand it so a fully grown adult not understanding it clearly shows some sort of mental deficiency that didn’t get caught earlier in life.
It probably means I’m a bad person but I feel a little satisfaction at their increased anger over just refuting with facts. Because you’re explaining in what sounds like it should be simple ways why they are dumb and the usually slightly narcissistic minds I deal with like this simply cannot handle that.
My mother in law’s rebuttal, after a few days and in text form, was “I DO KNOW all about the science I just don’t believe it’s happening”
And at that point, she has admitted she no longer believes reality.
You can say “I don’t believe it’s raining” all you want, but that water hitting your face won’t be any less wet.
You heard it here folks, you shouldn’t question something unless you are directly affected by it.
I would like that, the structure would not.
For now all I have is a dragon tree that needs extra attention I need advice on, and an aloe plant.
Saturday was really warm here, like “t-shirt and jeans weather” warm.
I was in the middle of walking between buildings when the clouds broke.
I immediately turned toward the sun and for one, shining moment, I channeled the spirit of Solaire of Astoria. For a brief moment, I was so grossly incandescent.
I decided “fuck this I’m going home and practicing archery.” so I stood out in the sun for an hour and a half until the sun dipped below the trees.
I really need to get one of those full spectrum light panels that helps with seasonal affective disorder, or like a vitamin d lamp or something. It doesn’t help that my current residence has no windows, so all light is artificial and to get any sun I have to actually go outside.
it sure seems like they’re colluding to restrict the amount of oil in the market
Um…
Yes? 100% always has been, they literally have meetings and what is essentially a corporate union specifically to do it. And they’re not subtle about it.
Is this really news to some people?
Every time I hear or read that phrase, all I can think is “BITCH I NEVER SAID I WAS TOLERANT OF YOUR SHIT”
The secret is “not having politicians that bend over backwards for car companies for over a century while your country is still in development” and “having people in influential potitions or states that understand taxes aren’t inherently bad” with just a Powerpuff girls size dash of “the wealthy like to keep poor people in their place and poor public transit and education keep things that way”
That’s why no amount of “it’s actually cheaper to do it the other way than you already pay and here’s 10,000 studies and real world examples all over the world that prove it” will convince the people who can change anything.
They know.
They simply like things they way they are.
Hell, they kick the poor down a couple pegs where possible.
My family usually get an “okay I’m gonna go now. I’ll see you later” and that’s about it.
But by then they can tell I’ve had enough of people today and want to leave so they’re never surprised.
And if anyone wants to think I left because they arrived, so be it. I am not the shepherd of my family’s emotions.
I can’t just leave without saying anything though. Not unless they pissed me off.
I’ve got a pretty nice system.
1: PANIC
B- Go
You may notice there’s no conversation before the final step. This is because my anxiety doesn’t allow me much talking until I can decompress.
It’s worked so far.
“It was great seeing you again”
“but… You just got here five minutes ago”
“SO great…”
Which is insane, how do you pillage most of the planet looking for spices to sell people and then have the blandest food in the world…
Hey, I’ve seen this one.
A prehistoric virus is gonna infect someone with coldness until a plucky US-Marshall-turned-sherrif saves the day with his science-mined friends and colleagues.
But stabbing your neighbor isn’t exactly something most people are willing to do.
And any sort of attempt at organization leads to Alphabet Squad raids and whatever bullshit charges they feel like throwing at you after deciding you’re guilty of being a dirty commie/socialist/librul/not them.
But one day they might be the one on top! And it will be because they worked hard and deserve it!
My favorite thing is seeing attempted memes of “this is the future the left wants with socialism/communism/anticapitalism” and… It’s literally just a picture of regular old capitalism making sure certain people get the worst of it. Usually houseless camping hotspots, and slums that supply larger wealthier areas with their luxuries and labor.
