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.
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???
I remember my mother taking me into a store when I was a child where people were striking.
I asked why they were yelling since I couldn’t read the signs. I was told “because they’re lazy and think they should be paid more than people like your father”
It was many years before I understood what they were mad about, and that they do NOT believe they should be paid more, they believe everyone should be paid more but they only have control over their own employment.
Nowadays whenever I see employees striking, I give them a little fist out the window and a meep meep and shop somewhere else.
Don’t cross picket lines, your nacho cheese or deodorant can be bought somewhere else. Bonus points if you call the employer to inform them that you are shopping elsewhere until their employees conditions have been met and they decide to end the strike.
I live on a property with multiple families and we just use one delivery box by the main driveway.
Since this past week was in the 90s, I started leaving out a cooler with ice and bottled water/a few colors of gatorade and a couple snacks in a small basket next to it.
So far, no driver has taken anything, even with a “PLEASE TAKE ONE!” sign on top.
It’s too hot to work outside without all the water you can drink, electrolyte flavor packs, and bare minimum a giant-ass fan. And no, having no doors doesn’t count as having a fan.
Well, at least in my state, we ALL own the road, since we all* pay taxes. YOU get 1/5000000th of the road, YOU get 1/5000000th of the road !
So yes, you partially own the road, but SO DO I MOTHERFUCKER. Me being on a bicycle changes nothing.
*inversely proportional to net worth
Local city is doing fireworks at 10pm.
I’m too old for this shit, just don’t wake me up.
My Christian relatives are big fans of the Bible, supposedly.
I believe there’s something in there about “from dust we were made, to dust we return” (paraphrased) so it would even be biblical, as long as we dry and pulverize the fertilizer!
This is sounding better and better. I do want a much bigger garden so I can grow more of my own food…
Well depending on your diet, that square could have been fertilizer, so I’d say it was considerably more valuable than any claims made by ICE.
Don’t undersell your own shit.
And all they ever accomplish when trying to show force is to look like scared little bitches.
three claimed to have been too intoxicated to know who was driving
Then they can all share the same maximum punishment.
Better than writing pithy comments from the comfort of your armchair.
Please do inform us of all the successful actions you have taken in fighting fascism? Since clearly you’re so well versed.
At the end of the day, how are you going to say “no” to a cop with an assault rifle?
With 50 of your friends, also with rifles, also having trained and drilled. Preferably with plenty of higher calibers than 556/223.
Other than that… Good luck getting even the slightest hesitation when they go to bash the stock into your skull and stand on your neck.
Clearly you’ve never met someone like my wife.
Well yeah, if you’re trapped in one of our many prisons, you get to look forward to slave labor! Slavery is perfectly legal and constitutional, as per the 13th amendment.
As an American, seconded.
I’m trapped here, don’t YOU risk being kidnapped and trapped here or sent somewhere worse just because you wanted to see the Grand Canyon.
The “I’m doing the thing you’re doing but throwing it back at you” and “thanks or whatever” definitely is.
I’m cool with people snitching on someone pouring greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.
They’re being helpful and assuming you may genuinely not know the word, and are giving you the correct version for the context.
Getting defensive isn’t necessary.
I wouldn’t categorize myself as agorophobic, as I DO enjoy my time spent outside as long as I’m not in crowds or socializing with more than a handful of people, but it definitely got worse after covid.
Home is where what little stuff I do have is, and there’s nobody there that I dislike or dislikes me. Outside is increasingly hostile for humans with climate change, and the likelihood that I might get shot over my political stances because a neighbor thinks I might have different political views has never been higher.
So yeah, I don’t go out as much either and covid was definitely the tipping point of “I don’t go out much anymore”
That banner SLAMMED Jeff bezoz!
I’m sure he didn’t just chuckle to himself and sleep even more soundly at night.
And then you bolt awake, with adrenaline now surging, only to be staring at your wall and it’s 4am so you definitely won’t be feeling rested when your alarm goes off.
