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.

  • Whenever someone asks "well why isn't there a STRAIGHT pride?" or "what about X lives, don't they matter?"

    Rather than explaining that you can celebrate one thing without pushing another out, I've decided to use the tools people like this keep saying I need: the Bible.

    Luke 15:4-6 4 Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’

    Nowhere does it say "Jesus said the shepherd should abandon that one because ALL sheep matter, and there will be NO celebration of the thing that was lost and has been regained."

    Of course, I've been accused of being "a satanic supporter of the antichrist" because I "cherry pick verses that say things I like" Without a hint of irony.

  • Democratic lawmakers denied entry to Alligator Alcatraz immigration detention site

  • You'll get no argument from me about the proper response, however unless you've got 20-30 of your buddies with you, all of whom know how to handle themselves and their firearms, and work in coordination, you will just end up a dead "terrorist" covered by fox news

  • Democratic lawmakers denied entry to Alligator Alcatraz immigration detention site

  • A dude in my state executed his neighbor because he thought his neighbor might vote for a Democrat. It wasn't some aggravated argument, the neighbor was just out mowing his grass.

    I absolutely believe the thugs who are going around kidnapping people would have no qualms with smashing a boot into a democrats face or straight up mag-dumping the second the person tries to force their way inside.

  • LA school district demands inquiry after ICE officers filmed urinating on campus

    Jump

  • Exposing your junk to a bush in the back corner of a lot used by a school district for storage will get you on a sex offender registry, so I fully expect these Fuckwads to be slapped with sex offender charges, put on the registry, and branded as child molesters for the rest of their lives.

  • American Pride Slips to New Low

    Jump

  • I stopped being "Proud to be an American" when I started learning more than my Christian republican parents or Bible belt education system taught me.

    While nothing that came before I was born was my fault, it's certainly nothing to be proud of, and nothing that has been happening since has been much better.

    Sure, we haven't directly been carrying out genocide, but we sure support it! With the very arms used to carry it out, and intelligence support, and so on.

    We haven't been enslaving huge swatches of people for arbitrary traits, but we sure do enslave imprisoned people which also due to socioeconomic reasons and good old fashioned racism also happen to be a large percentage of people with aforementioned arbitrary trait.

    We may not have been openly declaring war on everyone, but we sure do like to interfere with special military operations and sabotage. Yesterday's supported insurgencies are tomorrow's enemies who have every reason to hate us.

    Saying you're "Proud to be an American" today is a flashing neon sign that says "I'm a racist piece of shit who hates everyone who isn't exactly like me"

  • Just a thought experiment, how sink-proof are these things?

    If someone were to build a homemade submarine with a drill, how many holes would one have to theoretically drill to make a yatch sink?

  • Microsoft cancel Perfect Dark reboot and shut the developers down in the name of "continued success"

    Jump

  • Well, you're certainly entitled to your (wrong) opinion!

    Lol it's not for everyone, especially if you started out with goldeneye. A lot of people I play with don't have the same appreciation for it, and that's okay.

    And yeah, it's so cheesy, it makes people spontaneously develop lactose intolerance.

    But much like the movie Evolution, I don't love it because it's groundbreaking and iconic to its genre. It's fun for me.

  • Less money on social programs

    How dare you, they would never lower them even more than they have been!

    They would maintain the status quo, and in 3 years open up an inquiry as to whether a committee could be established to contemplate on the possibility of maybe increasing their budgets by 0.00001% over the next 100 years (which can be canceled at any time for no reason)

    Then sit back and pat themselves on the back for being such a man/woman of the people.

  • Tech firms suggested placing trackers under offenders’ skin at meeting with UK justice secretary

  • Why not just tattoo a number on their arm?

    I'm sure there's no possibility that subdermal trackers would ever be used in shitty ways.

  • It's been so great the last 10 years saying "this is what will be happening because the neo-nazis are taking over" and everyone telling me I'm overreacting, I'm being hyperbolic, I'm exaggerating or my favorite "you're just being dramatic"

    Remember, THERE'S NO WAY they'd overturn Roe v Wade.

  • Back in basic, almost every black person in my division got what was called a "shave chit" which was basically just a piece of paper saying "this recruit doesn't have to shave every morning for medical reasons"

    And having seen them try in the first week or so to shave with everyone else, yeah. Fuck shaving every day anyway, but why would you purposely force someone to essentially slice their face off little by little wherever hair grows???

  • No criminal charges over British woman shot in US during a holiday

  • As someone who likes to break into things (legally, with permission, blah blah blah) I can assure you that no amount of locks will keep a determined individual from something, especially if they know the schedule of the people they're concerned about and if they have an effectively unlimited time with the thing they're breaking into.

    Locks will deter, not prevent, theft or unwanted handling. If there's a way to access it, it is accessible to anyone with time and intent.

    I like picking locks and even if I don't have the skill for a certain lock, I've opened them by accident just by trying over and over. I just needed time.

    A gun safe by itself is not enough.

    A locked door is not enough.

    I know someone who used to take the firing pins out of every firearm, which would then be in a locked box in a floor safe under his bed. Guns in a locked safe, with a locked closet and locked room door. That was when he had nieces and nephews that came over a few times a month. Once he had his kids, the guns went to storage at his dad's house. His reasoning? He used to steal alcohol from his parents cabinet as a teen and they tried many many times to make it harder but he always managed to get to it. "I always found a way, so could my daughter"

    My own firearms have cable locks through the chambers, they're locked in a keyed safe, and the safe is in a locked closet. The only copy of the safe key that isn't either on me or my wife is in a hollowed out 2x4 that looks like it's part of the ceiling in my attic just in case I ever lose my key but need into it.

    I don't have kids so I'm not concerned with someone who has a lot of time on their hands, but never underestimate how determined someone can be when they're told "you aren't allowed in there"

    All of this is basically to say "the only way you're keeping someone permanently away from the guns in your house is to NOT HAVE GUNS IN YOUR HOUSE"

    Unrelated,

    which was in my person at all times.

    Sorry the phrasing just gave me a giggle.
