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 ask a bunch of questions about a task in order to convince the client that the task doesn’t need to be done at all.
I ask a bunch of questions because I’ve forgotten half the answers already and am trying to make enough stick that I can make something close enough they don’t notice my attention is wandering while they blather.
We are not the same.
Former Christian here: it is a cult. Full stop. You are throwing your decisions around based on a belief that there’s some magical perfect happy place we all get to go.
Starting from that alone means we have VASTLY different goals. So many Cultists believe no matter what they do they’re still going to paradise so fuck whatever happens here.
The staunch angry denial without a hint of reflection on how religion has undeniably damaged the world is very telling about what OP is willing to accept. I recognized religion has failed the world even when I was still religious.
No, I don’t know there’s nothing after we die, but I DO know there are things HERE AND NOW that need more ACTUAL FUCKING WORK and your prayers are worth the toilet paper I’ll print them on.
And I am so fucking tired of “well they aren’t TRUE Christians because we don’t get taught that” any of the many, many, many, many, TOO FUCKING MANY TIMES when Christians, ÉN MASSE , do shitty things. No TRUE scottsman… My brother in education, you cannot keep saying your religion is peaceful when it rather spectacularly and historically is extremely violent.
30s, I am much slower to bounce back from muscular injuries, and if I smash my knee, it’s gonna be a week before I don’t need a brace. Being overweight is a big part of that though. I’m sure if I had kept my weight off after my last surgery 10 years ago I’d be quicker to recover joint injuries.
Illnesses are about the same? Maybe? Idk whenever I got a cold I would be miserable for a week, and that hasn’t changed. Every so often I’ll get something that knocks me on my ass for 2-4 days, and when I was younger it was probably only 1-2 days. I was sick much more as a kid though so that’s likely one reason, my immune system isn’t exposed to as many things anymore so illnesses that DO hurt are worse than they used to be. I’m not a biologist though, and pathology sounds like what a startup company that makes designer walkways would call themselves.
I also think I’m much funnier than I used to, but that’s likely unrelated to illnesses…
Feel free to turn a blind eye to reality, not all of us are priveleged enough to do so.
It must be nice, living in a fantasy world where good people win because they’re good and the bad guys get to sit in jail for being bad.
I would love it if we lived in an ideal world where everyone plays by the rules.
I am not naive enough to think we live in that world.
Well… Neck. Close enough?
I remember a friend of mine whining about how my text bubble was a different color and it “made it weird” to text because of that.
By then I was already super over the whole tribalistic iphone/android bs from people I know when it wasn’t being meme’d on, so I just told her “you can either get over it, or we can stop talking and being friends”
Wouldn’t you know it, the color of a text bubble isn’t enough to end a friendship over.
Ah, no true scottsman adult, then.
You can either join me in sitting around a small fire and discussing rc stuff, star trek, guns, and how functionally unregulated capitalism is destroying the planet, or you can keep moving.
I hope you’ll join me, I’m making breakfast. Eggs, potatoes, bacon, biscuits, and pancakes if you’re okay with some mildly overcooked spots.
Sounds like my wife’s mother.
She’s a super narcissist and has some sort of desire to knock everyone else down when she feels like she’s not getting enough attention.
You deserved better from your parents.
Why do you not respect boundaries?
The boundary being “keep your religious stuff away from me”
This looks more like someone did it on purpose.
They’re all shifted down by one
$250 non refundable application deposit?
LMAO I’d sooner torch the rental property than pay just to APPLY to hopefully live there.
My wife and I were looking at realtors and one told us we would need to provide our credit card info to look at properties, and I just laughed and said “go fuck yourself” and hung up.
The only valid response, IMO.
The fact that people actually pay this shit is infuriating.
regular hours.
Apologies, but as someone who has never worked in an office, “regular hours” is a meaningless phrase.
In a row?!
Evolution.
It knows what it is, and nobody in it is under some illusion that they’re making some masterpiece of cinema. That is not at all a criticism or even backhanded compliment. I like when the actors have fun with the things they’re working on. I mean, who doesn’t love seen behind the scenes of Ian Mckellen slapping a dummy of Sean Aston around.
It’s fun, it’s ridiculous, and it leans into it a bit.
Plus they came up with the Thanos Weakness a long time before the avengers fans.
(it’s the butthole, they attacked a giant alien anus with soap to save the day)
Lol nvidia CEO couldn’t do my job for an hour.
I am absolutely confident that I could do his job for an hour.
The empty chair in his office does his job just as easily, too.
You can tell me all about the meetings and deals they have to worry about but ultimately, by the time a company gets that large, it could run itself without a c-suite for quite some time.
My wife would be freaking out about two minutes after she realized I hadn’t come back inside, I wasn’t answering my phone, and I wasn’t in any of the usual places around the house.
Everyone else? Weeks.
Yes, 100%, absokutely correct.
Google is a company.
Companies do not care about you. You are not a person, you are a number.
