Who would have thought that making millions of people’s lives actively worse in an already not great time in the most widely-armed country in the world could have POSSIBLY led to current events???
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.

A coworker of mine was dangerously close to connecting some of the dots yesterday.
He started complaining about how things are getting more expensive, and how the company we work for has started buying things from overseas because even with tariffs it’s cheaper than buying American made, and then came the stunning part.
He said “They say they have to raise prices because of terrorists or some shit, but how do WE know if that’s true? How do we know there ARE any terrorists and it’s not just all bullshit made up by politicians and the news to justify raising prices so they can get rich.”
And then he took a hard right turn and added that “all those goddamn r****d democrats in congress” are to blame.
So close.
A man who must insist he is king, is no king.
A entity that must assure everyone it’s not committing genocide…
“well obviously he didn’t mean that”
5 minutes earlier AND 5 minutes later
“we love him because he says it like it is and talks plainly”
Cognitive dissonance is a requirement for fascism. “the enemy is both strong and weak”
Look, unless you want to spend some time in the pattern buffer, don’t complain. it’ll be sorted out soon.
Look, if I can’t be a big tiddy goth babe who plays video games, then that’s the next best thing
Luckily my wife is a little goth, plays a couple video games, she’s a babe, and I love every part of her. And for some reason she likes me, so I guess I got the best thing anyway.
A nurse once told me to “mind my own fucking business” when I said “are you fucking kidding me?” to seeing her pull off her mask to cough into her hand and go back to the shit she was working on during covid lock downs. In the ER nurses station, surrounded by nurses with asks completely down or with noses poking out.

after I typed this I realized I basically just said "yeah incessantly spouting bullshit"
When you’re a mouthpiece of hate, and people who agree with you act on it by being shitty to someone they don’t like, you’ve made many people’s lives worse.
When you’re as prolific as he was, supporting a government that’s actively mistreating the majority of its 300m+ population, you’ve made millions of people’s lives worse.
