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 have a dji mini, and I would absolutely love to hack it so it has no internet connection capability and is it’s own self-contained drone.
Of course, it would be preferable to have a time machine and talk some security and privacy into my younger self…
It adds up quickly. Especially when you take into account just how many people it happens to.
Not to mention just how many people have to do things related to their job that they don’t get any compensation for.
My job requires me to spend about 15 minutes at the end of the day on a computer. But I have to clock out in order to finalize my shift. So I basically do 15 minutes of work every day without pay. I always wait until 15 minutes into my drive home to clock out though, so I’m still getting the compensation.
You would be surprised how many people just go “Yeah it’s no problem, I’ll grab that thing even though I clocked out” instead of “nah, I’m not getting paid I’m not doing it”
You’d think if the state were so sure of its case, it would happily continue to prove guilt later on and wouldn’t need to rely on PRESUMED guilt.
strongly worded
WOAH there, cowboy. We don’t want to go wording our PR too strongly, or Israel might think we’re semi-serious!
dine on the flesh of Christians
Hard pass.
Too much fat, I’m on a diet.
As soon as I read the title I thought “that sounds like something a shady politician would make a talking point in preparation to try and get rid of FOIA so they can do even more shady shit…”
follow their instructions
I’m white.
I have been stopped, at gunpoint, by cops who were both screaming different things ranging from “get off the bike” to “get on the ground”, “turn around”, “face us and walk forward with your hands out”, and “drop your bag” which for the record was strapped to my back with a waist belt on.
Luckily another car rolled up seconds later and when one of the cops inside ran over to them they exchanged a few sentences and then the ones that were pointing guns at me seconds before, one says “you’re good to go.” and the first two leave like nothing happened. The ones that came up a minute behind came over and told me someone was purse-snatched at a specific shoe store across town and fled on a green bicycle 10 minutes beforehand. I was about 6 miles away, and riding a red bike
I fully believe that if the first cops had stopped someone who wasn’t white, or if I had tried reaching for my waist buckle on my bag, they would have opened fire.
LMAO “just follow their orders” what a fucking joke.
When you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
And cops are the biggest tools out there.
When people start seeing huge rises in their electric bill, don’t be surprised to see normal everyday people trying to burn down datacenters.
Cool. Buy me an electric vehicle or shut the fuck up.
You know, you just might be on to something.
I doubt they have at any point bothered to look at a weather report though.
You are correct.
My in-laws are bitching about “how bad” the weather will be after it makes it’s way to Ohio.
I understand losing power for a few hours is irritating, but have some fucking perspective. You can go see actual devastation with a single tank of gas.
Any and every headline that begins with “Jimmy Carter, former US President” makes my stomach drop a bit. For like a decade now.
Maybe Someone to blame for everything they perceive to be wrong either their lives.
So yeah, Not much else.
Lol I don’t even have a yard of my own where I live now, and to be fair my parents only have 3/4 total.
The first year I took over lawn maintenance, they had poke weed growing in a 10ft tall forest in basically every space possible, it was the entire summer getting rid of them. Then they had English ivy growing along the base of the house and it was creeping into every crack of the siding and choking out some trees.
Even when trying to let it grow “wild” it’s a ton of work…
Also the weird fixation with perfectly manicured lawns with absolutely no debris and no plants touching any other plants.
They like to lay their eggs on leaves and grasses on the ground. Doesn’t mix well with lawn mowers and rakes.
I used to mow my parents property, and I would leave about 1/4 acre unmowed on the side, touching the treeline. They had so many fireflies hanging around the tall grass over the summers.
This summer I moved too far to keep mowing, and they don’t leave anything, and have been complaining they haven’t seen any fireflies all summer.
It could be a sign they’re gearing for all out war economy in preparation of a massive offensive on multiple fronts…
Or it could be a sign their already not great corruption-riddled military absolutely screwed the pooch in terms of (not) maintaining things and pocketing the money, and now to compensate for what needs replaced as well as current losses, a large portion of their economy has to be diverted in order to keep from being completely demolished on the front lines.
In no way does that mean “Russia is facing imminent defeat”, just that they have to focus on making guns and ammo to replace what’s being lost and can’t focus on other things right now.
We absolutely CAN hold them accountable, but most people aren’t ready for that conversation yet.
And any hint of it immediately draws all the people talking about how we should take the moral high road (that’s filled with corpses of people doing the same thing) and not resort to violence or even inconvenient protests
