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.

  • He probably didn’t mean to kill the guy

    Are you his lawyer?

    When you run someone over, you DO NOT have the defence of “I didn’t mean to kill anyone”, and if you have to ride over a curb to do it, you will never be able to convince me that wasn’t the plan from the start.

    Running this man over wasn’t an accident. It wasn’t an oopsie-doodle where someone got mildly hurt by an inattentive or incompetent driver.

    This was “I’m big and I don’t like this person for X reason, hahahaha run little man. Wait did that motherfucker just tap my car with his fist? OH HELL NO GET STOMPED ON BITCH”

    I’m stereotyping the internal monologue, but the point is the same. “jumped curb, injured cyclist, cyclist hits car, driver decides to run him over in response” there is no way to spin that as “it wasn’t intentional”

    Idk if you bike on roads often, but I do, and I have heard this argument so many times after almost being hit (or ACTUALLY being hit) and it just pisses me off when I hear it. Nothing against you.


  • I live in Ohio and am currently looking for work.

    I’m still paying to places that say drug testing, but not places that specify thc testing.

    As far as I’m concerned, it’s a legal state, and unless they have similar testing and employment rules for alcohol (which they wouldn’t be able to since it doesn’t show up two weeks later) then I should be able to smoke when I want, off the clock.

    If they test and it prevents me from getting the job, I feel slightly satisfied I wasted their time and money. If they follow up and ask about it, I will tell them straight up it’s legal in this state and they’re only limiting their options by refusing to hire people who do a legal thing.

    It’s probably just wasting my own time, but hey I’ve got time to waste.



  • Ooh how many times have you heard that it’s somehow your fault for not doing enough to get anyone else elected, your fault for not having a degree, your fault for not seeing this coming 10 years ago and making plans then, or your fault for being a dirty American who is American and therefore deserves all the bad things happening?

    I’ve gotten all these, and more.

    My personal favorite was being told in the same conversation by two different Canadians, that I should move to Canada, AND that Canada doesn’t need some “backwards ass hillbilly trash who wants to fuck his guns as much as his sister” because I mentioned I have family, no college education, and firearms.

    Personally I’d prefer to move to an EU country, but if the US ever really did want to invade Canada, I’d want to be there to help defend Canada. You know, with my guns. I’ve inherited quite a few, have training to use them, and am absolutely willing to train minorities on their use to defend against fascist racist phobic pieces of human refuse.

    So basically for one reason or another, country on the planet seems to want someone like me.

    Instead we get to sit here, in this shit hole country. Grasping at anything to try and help pull it back from the massive sinkhole it’s slipping into. Hoping that enough people help us to make a difference.

    I don’t think there’s a relevant peanuts panel for this…




  • I want a small European style truck that’s hybrid. Like give me 200 miles of electric charge, and a small generator I can use to charge up. I don’t even care if I can’t drive while it’s using the generator for a charge, I just want the ability to charge out in the field without filling my bed up with solar panels.

    Rarely do I need the full size of my 90s/2000s era truck. And it’s tiny compared to modern trucks. That said, I am hauling small things that won’t fit in a car or SUV nearly daily.

    Most of the guys I know that drive the large trucks go on about how they NEED them for “safety” or for “when I’m hauling a bunch of stuff” while the cover on their bed hasn’t been lifted off since they bought it and there isn’t a single scratch on the hitch.







  • It’s great when people on your side of the border hate you because you support human rights, and people on the other side of the border hate you because of where you were born and lived untill recently.

    Also simultaneously being told “you should just leave your shit hole country” from one group of people and also “you should stay and fix your own stupid country before you try and ruin others”

    Basically “fuck you for existing, now go die quietly so we can get on with our lives”

    And don’t even get me started on any sort of minority group and how shitty they have it here. Can’t even walk to the corner store without looking over their shoulder for ICE or some other thug law enforcement.







  • A lot of comments here are displaying their ignorance of nuclear technology.

    Keep eating up the oil company talking points, I guess. “hey guys remember those nuclear meltdowns from outdated reactors that had all kinds of things going wrong because of poor design and decision making, most of which is no longer an issue? Yeah things blow up so better keep chugging away at those fossil fuels while we sabotage any investments into renewables”

    I mean goddamn, the “worst” disaster in the USA was a big nothing burger that was sensationalized by newspapers that knew how to sell a headline, and oil companies that knew how to leverage any sort of negative press to their advantage.

    When the fallout from nuclear disasters doesn’t come close to the amount of radiation out off by burning and refining fossil fuels, there is no argument.
