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.
But the economy has never been stronger!
Of course it’s held together by billionaires in bunkers trading stocks in companies that no longer exist, and they only have their food storage remaining until they all die, but hey… The economy!
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.
It’s like when someone goes on about their friends mom’s college roommate’s sister’s cousin was in an accident and the EMTs and hospital definitely told them they would have died if they were wearing their belt or they died because they were wearing a belt.
K. You’re still wearing it or you’re getting the fuck out of my car. End of discussion and if you want to keep spouting dumb shit everywhere then we have nothing more to talk about.
Helmets save lives. Period. Anyone saying otherwise is an idiot.
The majority of people I’ve brought this up with believe MKULTRA is just a Conspiracy theory and never happened, or have never even heard of it.
Like… This is stuff they are ADMITTING TO.
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.
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.
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
“Reason: advocating violence”
I see no advocation for violence, just the truth about people who need to be removed from power.
And I absolutely LOVE the implied “you can complain about all violence toward you but don’t you DARE even suggest doing the same thing that’s being done to you”
Yes masters, we should all die quietly.
This is posted on (dot) world, which is basically reddit but slightly left of center.
In other words, mods will remove anything that maybe might be construed in a way that messes with the status quo of the rich and polititicians stomping their boot down on those they deem below them.
Whether mods agree with my phrasing or not, that’s what’s happening. I’m sure they’d prefer to frame it as “making sure our community doesn’t get taken down by The Man”
somewhere, a criminal: Oh man, you mean all I have to do is take my license plate off, dress like a tacticool office worker, put on a mask and I’m just allowed to kidnap people??? SCORE!!!
Unless you have knowledge and possibly evidence that politicians, world leaders, movie stars, and pretty much every ceo is into children and human trafficking as long as it’s on a private island.
Then you might just experience the craziest set of coincidences!
OK, boomer
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.
That banner SLAMMED Jeff bezoz!
I’m sure he didn’t just chuckle to himself and sleep even more soundly at night.
Actual infrastructure dedicated for bicycles and other mobility options would nearly eliminate the “speed difference” issue in most cases.
A nearby city is ripping up one side of their main street and finally putting a physical barrier between the cars and the bikes.
Before it was just a painted line that got completely ignored, then it was the occasional traffic cone which kept getting stolen, then they tried those plastic bollards that are just hollow plastic, which just got run over.
It only took 3 deaths that I know of and countless children being injured.
