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.

  • you begin manufacturing explosives in order to demolish all future trolley tracks, trying to ensure nobody is ever forced to choose again. Misunderstanding your purpose, you are arrested, and the people cheer that a terrorist has been brought to justice. Your pleas fall on deaf ears and people insist the trolleys are good, the trolleys are necessary.

    True, it’s not a great plan. But it’s not your fault. You can never move on from… the trolley problem.




  • I never thought I’d see the day when a draft dodging felon was given a military parade for his birthday.

    For the record, fuck the draft. If they ever call it up again, I encourage everyone to metaphorically burn their cards en masse, and present a middle finger to the federal government.

    But you don’t get to use daddy’s money and connections to be allowed to stay when others have to make an actual choice to make a stand, and you sure as FUCK shouldn’t get to have a military parade after doing so.

    If the 9,000 military personnel had any sense of duty to the oath they all took, then they would refuse to go, or honestly even do the funniest thing on planet earth.

    Cheeto said it himself, “he who saves his country commits no crime”



  • NYS rangers

    How did I miss that part? That’s on me.

    Yeah state parks, rangers, and anything that positively manages government land has always gotten the short end of the stick. The state police aren’t as militarily kitted out as some local PDs, at least in my experience.

    A state park near where I grew up was basically begging for volunteers because they didn’t have the budget to take care of the park more than 3ft from the parking lot. (mild exaggeration, but you get the idea)

    This whole time I’ve been thinking its some local city cops with too much time and not enough training…



  • That’s the point.

    Set the bar low, but just high enough that tons of people still trip over it.

    Sit back and enjoy the comment wars.

    The people who are confident but wrong are too proud to admit they were wrong even if they realize it, and comment angrily.

    The people who are right and know why, comment for corrections and some to show off how S-M-R-T they are.

    The people who are wrong but willing to accept that just have their realization and probably don’t think about it again. So do the people who don’t know and/or care.

    But those first two groups will keep the post going in both shares and comments, because “look at all these wrong people”

    It’s all designed to boost engagement.


  • It’s the texture.

    The taste is distinct, but not really bad. I don’t mind the mild flavor left over in a sandwich that had a tomato slice.

    But I can’t stand the texture of a tomato. Not sure exactly why, but even a small chunk in soup or salsa makes me gag. I blend salsa up so it’s consistent.

    And onions are both for me. A tiny piece of onion will ruin the entire burrito. From the weird crunch to the taste that lingers even after I down a few chips and half my drink.

    I go through onion powder fairly quick though, I add a little bit to a lot of my dishes.
