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.
At least some nutters have the decency to say that it’s mind controlling chemicals, not the “you’ll be dead soon” kind.
Kind of like the covid vaccine. I should have been dead in 3 6 8 months a year 2 years 3 years 4 years I’ll be dead in 5 years!
I can confirm yahoo still exists, and they’re great for my junk mail since I don’t have anything signed into it, it was made before you needed to link any personally identifying info so I think my name is still something like “fart boob” or something like that. 13 year old me thought it was hilarious.
Honestly if someone managed to hijack that account, either they’d quickly realize it was worthless or I’d be laughing as I tell them to have fun with their garbage, I’ll be sending some more soon.
water soluble powder
Oh god I’m having flashbacks… That shit is nasty.
YOU SLEEP ON A FARM NAZEEM
YOU HAVE NOTHING IN THE CLOUD DISTRICT
Bitch ass posers thinking they’re better than us just because they walk around the fancy area of town sometimes…
Also your whole city is 30 people.
You ain’t fancy, bitch.
Sounds like your friend is just lame.
In seriousness, 99.999999% of people will live a “normal” life, and very occasionally, someone might have a time or two that elevates it above “normal”. The percentage of people who live “above” normal lives is so tiny, physicists would laugh at you for using so many decimal places.
Wanting more isn’t a problem unless that desire is killing what you have to be happy about now.
In other words, “don’t let perfect get in the way of good”
And I’ve heard all the platitudes.
I like to make people uncomfortable when they start going on about how my wife and I should have kids. She had a TL and I had a vasectomy. I usually start off with “kids are off the table for us.”
We SHOULDN’T have kids because genetics on both our families are shit.
We WON’T have kids because they’re awful to deal with 90% of the time, and neither of us feel that the world will be a livable place in their lifetime so it would be cruel to have children anyway.
We CAN’T have kids because the medical procedures.
If someone gets pushy about it, I act emotional, burst out that after so many miscarriages we have given up on children and the person should learn to take a hint.
So far nobody has had anything else to say after that.
I’m gonna go with “ascended energy being” since that’s a common trope. Nothing springs to mind otherwise.
The frequent lack of desire for people to experiment and learn anything on their own is very off-putting.
Any time I hear someone say “I didn’t think about that” when dealing with a very simple problem, I just want to pull out “How long did you piss on the toilet seat before someone told you to lift it when you go?”
Seriously, I shouldn’t have to describe how to remove the ball bearings from this part, because I explained how to do an identical one 2 minutes ago.
I love taking things apart to know what makes them work. Electronics and mechanical devices are fascinating.
And I don’t understand how someone can look at things and go “yeah no need to look any deeper, I know enough already”
"What were your expectations? "
That the world I was raised to live in still existed?
That the laws I’ve been told my whole life I HAVE to follow or I will be jailed actually mean something?
That literally any of the lies I was fed about alternative economic systems, religions/nonreligion, or stereotypes were true?
Unfortunately all we have is this shit.
gestures wildly at humanity and what we have done to everyone and everything in our reach
I might need a therapy or two…
It was.
In Ohio? I’m almost positive it isn’t legal. It’s definitely illegal in states like California. But they’re banking on nobody recording their interview audio (which I will now be doing as Ohio is single-party state) and nobody complaining if asked.
I doubt it’s a company policy, but I did send an email to their company offices to complain about it, for all the good it will do.
Look, if you want to wrangle with a bear to try and get that pelt, you go right ahead.
I’ve had enough suffering in my lifetimes, I’m hunkering down and waiting for the department of temporal investigations to show up and take me home.
Besides, you need at least 3μg of pergium, which I’m sure I don’t have to remind anyone is not native to the solar system.
Not programming, but in the same vein, A Trek Bicycle store manager asked me in an interview if I would be willing to work a trial shift the next day building bicycles. Unpaid, of course. Just to see if I was a good fit.
Of course, since I was used to building 50 a day, I would have gotten all of them done in a single shift whereas they were needing to call in stores from surrounding areas to come help in a few days.
I laughed and said if they needed help tomorrow I would be happy to work for my usual fee of $20/bike.
Oddly, I did not get the job
Unfortunately due to some temporal shenanigans, I’m stuck here without so much as a self-sealing stem bolt.
No transporter system.
Besides, why would I want to wipe my pattern buffer prisoners guests experiments?
There’s 1,000 jokes that can be made in sure, but in the US I once found a grenade while magnet fishing and called a guy my parents know who is a cop. The moment I realized what it was, I told my friend to run to the end of the bridge, and I gently laid it on the pile of rope I was using.
They have a whole bomb squad that’s about 30 minutes away at full speed, and they rolled up with their trailer, a guy in a suit came over to the bridge and placed it in a box, put the box in the trailer, and one dull THUNK later all I had to do was sign a paper saying this is where I found it.
I specifically called my parents friend rather than 911 because I had read too many accounts of cops showing up and attempting to arrest the magnet fisher for any number of reasons.
UXO is no fucking joke, don’t for a second think you can handle it without training. You really have no idea what explosive compound they used or what it’s stability level is after being exposed to the elements.
I’ve legitimately tried that, even tried no alarm at all.
The no alarm is a bad idea just because every so often I just sleep right on through, if I’ve had a particularly harsh day.
I think my brain just goes “you sneaky fuck, I know you REALLY want to get up at 7 so we are getting up at 630ishjust to be sure.”
I don’t need an alarm.
I wake up every few hours regardless.
And I’m always awake about 20 minutes before my alarm, no matter that time I set it to.
Existence is pain
Nah, I know for a fact 2/3 of my kills were luck, and the other 1/3 is new players.
Let’s burn this bitch down and start over with the common man in mind, and the needs of everyone met.
Or let’s go find a new planet. With blackjack, and hookers.
I still have my 2005-2008 era Sony Vaiao in the garage at my parents house. If it booted up, I’d probably still have limewire running.
I need to wear a knee brace or use a cane, and I’m not even exaggerating.
I would still say I don’t understand written German, and I certainly couldn’t understand SPOKEN German, but I understand enough to understand the memes.
So thanks for that, ich_iel!
