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.

  • I sent the first news story about the signal chats to my parents ands in-laws in a big group that said “I had better never fucking hear another one of you dumbasses say a word about ‘HeR eEeEeEmAiLs’ ever again”

    Not a single one replied, both parents have (according to my wife) started taking Facebook posts they’ve made in the past down, and my in-laws have not said a political word in over a week. It’s been refreshing.

    They clearly aren’t ready to accept they may have been totally wrong all along, but it’s nice to see they might be self-aware enough to recognize when they might be potentially maybe SOMETIMES be less than correct about specific things.

    You need a microscope to see it, but i consider it a step up.



  • Honestly that just sounds like someone who just forgot to keep drinking while experiencing couch lock… When I’m smoking sativa strains like last night, I am perfectly okay the next day since I’m much more active, and therefore drink more liquids, than when smoking indica strains.

    While I’m sure it happens, it’s just not a thing for me or my wife and her friends I guess.

    I know someone who loves to smoke, but every time she does, her hands start shaking noticeably, but not enough to need help with things. Except maybe pouring a drink.





  • 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
