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 mean… Never by our current civilization.

    With climate change ramping up, less and less will be devoted to space and exploration, and more resources focused on maintaining order and keeping people fed and working.

    So unless the rest of the world can rally together in the next 50 years, we, our current civilization, will be likely nearly wiped out in the coming centuries. Not totally, I don’t think. But modern society will not survive.

    Now, I fully believe the rest of the world is completely capable of doing this, the question is can enough people in positions of power put aside petty differences and work for the betterment of humanity. Because clearly my government won’t.

    The titles is definitely click bait, and if they really believe it they’re delusional.



  • I once had a granola wrapper blow away in the wind, and I felt so bad I started looking for trash on my way out.

    Then I realized I could be doing that every time and I started bringing shopping bags with me on hikes and grabbing any trash I see until the bag is full or I leave.

    It’s made me realize something.

    Even the people who hike several miles into deer paths, the kind you would expect to be the less than casual group and therefore should know better, are fucking disgusting.

    Humans are gross and it’s nothing new, we know the most about ancient cultures that left a lot of garbage.






  • Skilled truckers

    I have met truck drivers that can (and have demonstrated) back their trailer up to a cargo dock blindfolded.

    I’ve met some that can navigate turning radii (radiuses? Radiens?) smaller than my old Nissan.

    And then I’ve also met some that couldn’t figure out their 13ft tall trailer can’t fit under a 12ft 8 bridge…

    For the most part though, in my experience truck drivers are better drivers than 97% of regular drivers.




  • Look, if you have an aural processing issue I totally understand, but if you’re just being racist against droids as some kind of hold-over from the clone wars, GTFO.

    There’s a massive difference between “GONK” and “GONK”. They sound nothing alike.

    Next you’re going to tell me that ewoks could take on an imperial brigade…

    Unfortunately, due to different showrunners, there are a couple.

    Like how Tony didn’t figure out hydra was infiltrating SHIELD when he hacked everything in Avengers 1. Probably should have figured that out.

    And I know people like to say there are too many hydra people for them to not be well-known or easier to discover, but personally I don’t take issue with that.

    If hydra has infiltrated key personnel, they can move whoever they want. I’d say they concentrated their forces at headquarters and on the carriers, since that was part of their big master plan. So of course there will be a lot of bags guys in the main areas and in the carriers, and it’s a testament to how few there really were that they failed. And they had sizeable resistance from non-compromised personnel.


  • I’ve managed to get two first round interviews, and I’m a “perfect candidate” for one and have been invited to a second interview. They dropped a surprise drug test that wasn’t mentioned at any point before, and while they won’t find any hard drugs, THC is legal in my state. So if I get past the second interview, I have to just hope they don’t care about thc.

    At least if they do, I’ll have wasted their time as much as mine, and more importantly, their money on the tests.
