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.
/uj You know, I’ve known someone who plays violin for decades, I’ve helped her practice, attended concerts, she even tried to teach me a few things on it here and there…
I have never seen that piece.
Neat!
/j Always acquire/make a suppressor, it’s not just about your own hearing, it’s about being a good quiet neighbor. Really you’re just doing everyone else a public service.
My family usually get an “okay I’m gonna go now. I’ll see you later” and that’s about it.
But by then they can tell I’ve had enough of people today and want to leave so they’re never surprised.
And if anyone wants to think I left because they arrived, so be it. I am not the shepherd of my family’s emotions.
I can’t just leave without saying anything though. Not unless they pissed me off.
I’ve got a pretty nice system.
1: PANIC
B- Go
You may notice there’s no conversation before the final step. This is because my anxiety doesn’t allow me much talking until I can decompress.
It’s worked so far.
“It was great seeing you again”
“but… You just got here five minutes ago”
“SO great…”
Ah yes, the classic Grand Ship of Sissyphus Problem.
This has stumped philosophers since the dawn of the cretaceous.
The only celebrating I do is eating slightly more unhealthy, take the day off work unless it’s going to be a short day, and maybe look to see if any games in my “maybe if it’s on steep sale” list are on sale.
That’s it.
I don’t remind people, I dont expect anyone to remember, but it’s nice when they do.
My excuse for missing people’s birthdays is I DO know the date… I just don’t know what the date today is. Sure I know my sister was born on the 12th, but that doesn’t matter if I think today is the 10th and it’s actually the 15th…
So if I have that much problem, it wouldn’t be very chill to be upset with others for missing mine.
Attorneys don’t just file a suit because their client said so: they generally need to be shown there’s an actionable case with a chance if winning
Man, I used to believe that.
The last 8 years have shown me otherwise.
There’s also one where the child is intersex and collapses during their basketball game.
A balrog? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Located entirely within the confines of the walkway leading from the crack of doom?
Which is insane, how do you pillage most of the planet looking for spices to sell people and then have the blandest food in the world…
I’m sure that would have looked great to all the gathered men who were still alive.
“oh yeah, the elves showed up and one of them went up to the crack of doom with Isildur after his father died, and the elf came back alone and wouldn’t tell us what happened inside. Something’s fucky. We better prepare for an attack from the elves.”
Whether anyone actually threw hands immediately or not, men and elves would have a far shittier relationship after that.
The question is, did more suffering occur because Elrond didnt do this? We can’t know.
(but probably)
But stabbing your neighbor isn’t exactly something most people are willing to do.
And any sort of attempt at organization leads to Alphabet Squad raids and whatever bullshit charges they feel like throwing at you after deciding you’re guilty of being a dirty commie/socialist/librul/not them.

“data gathering” basically.
But their reasoning for gathering the data wasn’t good enough for the court to allow it, as they basically said “it’s so we know how to talk to passengers”, but as the court says, they can use less gender-specific wording.
An important feature that shouldn’t be overlooked.
Having just finished all 3 on my pc…
Dafuq you smokin, Bruh…
I will say though, 1 is the cluniest of them, for sure.
Any time my father brings up stuff like this, I remind him that he and his brothers drove their car onto a frozen lake and almost broke through the ice, and more than once they bought tennis balls, soaked them in gasoline, and threw them at each other with welding gloves.
I know for a fact that he and his brothers did tons of dumb shit, and I won’t let him forget it even if he finds it convenient when comparing generations.
5 is alive.
NO DISASSEMBLE!
“country decides to further the human-driven extinction of endangered animal by slaughtering half the population within borders”
Very cool, Sweden.
No, I don’t care about the people who feel uncomfortable living close to animals, keep your pets/kids inside or move away from their territory. I have wolves, coyote, and allegedly a mountain lion living within roaming distance of me, and I act accordingly. Heck, during covid someone got a doorbell camera picture of a bear in their front yard.

I’ve always wondered what it’s like.
Turns out, (according to the US government) I was experiencing it all along.
