Miles O'Brien

And this is why I keep telling my trans homies they need to arm themselves and offering to take them shooting away from gun nuts and Republicans.

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

You can either join me in sitting around a small fire and discussing rc stuff, star trek, guns, and how functionally unregulated capitalism is destroying the planet, or you can keep moving.

I hope you’ll join me, I’m making breakfast. Eggs, potatoes, bacon, biscuits, and pancakes if you’re okay with some mildly overcooked spots.

Do iiiiiiiiiit.

Let’s do it.

Let’s fucking do it.

I think we should do it.

Look, unless you want to spend some time in the pattern buffer, don’t complain. it’ll be sorted out soon.

Me, staring at my alarm about to go off in 5 minutes after tossing and turning for an hour: “this is the single most comfortable spot in the universe and I am so sleepy now”

They said “stupid”, not “evil”

Although I’d argue that any billionaire not actively dumping the bulk of their wealth and influence to sort out world hunger, homelessness, and inequality is being evil.

To anyone who doesn’t want to watch videos, it’s a reference to “Beauty and The Beast”, specifically the intro where the entire town sings a song containing lines such as "look there she goes that girl is so peculiar, " “yes she’s strange, no question” and “what a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle” (her name) the whole time she is walking around town, well within hearing distance.

You know those metal benches with metal arches for “arm rests” a lot of cities installed about a decade ago?

A lot of them use standard size bolts and Allen keys. No security, or maybe torx if anything.

Also an adjustable crescent wrench and multi-size Allen wrench tool fit nicely inside a pocket.

A cordless impact driver and associated bits fit in a small backpack as well.

What do those tidbits of info have in common?

Well that’s up to the reader.

TO BE CLEAR, in case anyone doesn’t understand, I am advocating for people to go out and disassemble anti-homeless architecture as a fuck you to the people who put it there. Being homeless is never a choice (not counting extreme outliers). Life is already shitting on them, denying them even a bench to sleep on for the night is just evil.

You can never get a word in edgewise when he’s around.

“he who saves his country commits no crime”

Having worked in quite a few fields in the last 15 years or so, it’s the same active shooter training they give everyone. Even in stores that sell guns.

I’ll let the reader decide how fucked up it is that there’s basically a countrywide accepted “standard response”

So they’ll have to give her a job again. But then she won’t be homeless anymore.

I can confirm, having a job (or 3) does not provide a home.

you can only do that so many times before you run out of money, materials, water, or places to build

That’s someone else’s problem. Hopefully someone after they’re dead, but as long as they have their golden parachute, who cares?

As an American, what the fuck are you talking about?

Good to see the police openly lying

… Have they ever done anything else?

That’s right up there with calling Epsteins victims “underage women” instead of CHILDREN

Listen, it was a celerity-induced accelerated somatic mutation rate, they’re totally fine now. Warp 10 is super safe.

No, they do a 360 into dinos and moonwalk away.

I read them, UN.

So there’s at least one more!

I worked as a bike tech for a sporting goods store and replaced most of the store tools with my own. The ones they had were all the cheapest crap from ebay or Amazon or something. One of the wrenches snapped on the first group of bikes we built when the store opened.

A nice tool that feels good in the hand will pay for itself with the comfort it provides.

I had to threaten to sue them because when they fired a bunch of us and barred us from the store, they tried to say those tools belong to them even after sending them the receipts for everything. And informing them where the box of original tools went. And having to call someone still in the store to bring me out the most expensive tool there and they had the audacity to tell me that me taking it would make their jobs harder because there was no replacement for it and if I could just be reasonable they’ll have a replacement in a month so I can come back then.
