I’m sure he didn’t just chuckle to himself and sleep even more soundly at night.
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.

Quark, you’ve been warned a hundred times about discussing human hunting techniques with menagerie owners.
Don’t make me get Odo.
… “FeEmAlEs”… you ferengi sure know how to raise 'em…
Gotta start them while they’re young! Cuts back on down time for the meat grinder.
Well then by definition, it’s no longer secure.
From a certain point of view.
“Tourists hit cyclist and fled the scene”
… Probably Americans.
reads the very next line
Wow, I’m soooooo surprised. Shocked, even.
Can American tourists not be shit for FIVE MINUTES???
“genocide is okay as long as it’s the right people”

Forums were everywhere, and most websites from private entities looked like someone vomited gifs and word art everywhere. Backgrounds were the most insane of colors and oh my god I just now realized one of the sites I used to visit in the early 2000s was popular with trans people, the trans flag was all over the place and literally was the background
Also MySpace.
I have a permanent solution to banking crises:
Ban capitalism globally.
It’s foolproof. It will stop any more banks from having any sort of crisis.
140 (87mph).
I’m sure there are cars where I wouldn’t feel a thing and all that, but mine would shake itself apart.
120/75 is my limit, and honestly my truck shouldn’t be going over 90/55 because it loses the tiny bit of efficiency it has.
New noises don’t bother me. The amount of things that can shake rattle and roll (it’s a mess but it’s all tools and things I need for work) means a new sound pops up every week.
It’s the new slightly different vibration that sketches me out.
Ever so slightly up/down vibration that you can barely feel when you get to 70? Congrats, next week when you drive to work you’ll hit a bump at 15 and the whole front bottom falls off. And now you have 3 other problems because drive shafts start flying all over and smashing into things when they break.
No, I love vehicle ownership and definitely wouldn’t prefer to relax on high speed rail for 20 minutes with a rolling bag/tool box or literally any other form of mass transit…
That’s literally what it feels like: being stuck in an objective (the planet) and you have a teammate that’s SUPER gung ho about the fact he’s got a bomb vest (nukes) on that will go off if he dies, and you’re just praying he doesn’t catch a stray round (attack) while shooting at people from the doorway (doing proxy war things or just straight up committing/supporting genocide/ethnic cleansing/war of extermination/etc) or lose connection (leadership going insane).
If any of those things happen, you know you’re all toast. And it’s all mostly outside of your control.
I hate to use video games as a metaphor for literal nuclear war and sorry for spelling it out like I’m talking to a child but I felt it was needed for clarity.
We’re all on the planet together, and no one will ever be able to force everyone into submission, the more we fight the shorter time we have as a species.
nobody should have nuclear weapons.
Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like if the scientists working on the Manhattan project had all agreed it’s too much and intentionally sabotage every test.
Yeah, but this way you get to make sure your intended target actually gets hit instead of assuming the following nuclear wastwland would destroy your target like everything else.
It’s like the Martyrdom perk in fps games. You die and drop a grenade or c4 pack or something and explode, hopefully taking out the person who killed you.
It’s just a dead-man switch to get the AD part of MAD.
Effective? Maybe.
Incredibly stupid? Yes.
Is that stopping the US and Russia from doing it? Lolno we invented this dumb shit.
The world is run by insane people who would rather see the planet scorched into a lifeless rock than admit their way of doing things might be wrong.
My first introduction to them was Yuve Yuve Yu, also a banger.
I got a little hyper fixated on throat singing one week and they popped into my feed. Bike rides and road trips have never been the same.
Considering the channel owner is heavily left leaning, I don’t think it was them but they may be getting extra cautious about what speech they allow, given the current regime.
I’ll be honest, they fucked this game over hard in my opinion.
It really does feel like they separated everyone into teams, and none of the teams spoke to each other once. They all just delivered their chunk of the game without connecting pieces together.
Base building was a nightmare, and that’s the primary reason I downloaded it in the first place.
Then I finished the main quest and spoilers ahead for anyone who cares
The concept of “well now you’re out of the universe so let’s go to a new one right at the start of the game again but this time a few things might be slightly different” was fun until all my hard work figuring things out with the bases got erased by “and by the way literally everything except your experience and abilities has been reset and you can either choose continuing the ability tree and maybe solve some mysteries of who built everything or you can care about the current universe but you can’t do both”
Kind of killed literally every desire I had to play the game. Especially when they patched the easily accessed chests that at least gave me a shortcut to some things.
I made some comments on YouTube over the last week about LAPD and Israel, and all of them have been deleted without notice. Not even a warning of “hey you aren’t allowed to talk about that” or “you violated a mysterious rule sometime”
Lemmy can succeed while breaking arbitrary server CoMmUnItY rules, and if you don’t think this discussion has merit then you only want Lemmy to succeed in your narrow view of what “success” is, I guess.
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.
