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.

  • At least you all can get your family to use it.

    I can’t even get my spouse to use it unless she thinks what we are talking about might be illegal where we are (it usually isn’t)

    I’ve tried convincing family to use it, but all that happens is I just never hear from them until I see them in person or they call me.

    They don’t even feel the need to back up their Amazon Kindle collection before they get cutoff from it… Thousands of dollars wasted if they ever lose access to the account.


  • Weird, I just had a bunch of mls tell me just the other day that a comment I made was strawmanning a hypothetical tankie telling me I’m wrong.

    And here we see yet another ml strawmanning.

    Super Weird.

    All I see is a bunch of people saying this is dystopia nightmare shit, and so far the only person I’ve seen do anything other than call it what it is is the ml comparing this to China.

    Surveillance states are bad anywhere, you won’t get many people arguing that city wide government facial recognition is a good thing.



  • “could be ousted”

    Uhhhhhh no.

    Nobody in their right mind would listen to this.

    The Russian Puppet never intended to allow support to continue and is making shit up to try and justify halting aid without serious backlash.

    Musketrump and the MAGAts can get fucked. Unless they’re willing to go to war to enforce it, there’s 0 chance of it happening. And if they go to war for that, they’re going to have a hell of a lot of internal conflict that will absolutely result in blood. Militarily and civilian.


  • The fact that anyone can see this and think “yes, this is a clear sign we must invest MORE in oil consumption” is wild to me.

    If ONE country is shelling out as much for renewable as the rest of the world spends on fossil fuels, then MAYBE, just MAYBE there might be something to renewables, especially given all the things we see daily about how much more efficient renewables are, how much money is in the entire industry, how quickly people are switching to renewables…

    It’s mind boggling that anyone thinks fossil fuels are the future, or at least can convince other people that it’s the future all while caring about just the money.

    I’d love to have a power wall and a wind/solar setup for all my energy needs.





  • Comments like this are one of a few things.

    Bad faith, and useful idiots intentionally trying to keep people from wanting to go out and vote, which only helps MAGAts.

    And dumbass, blind as shit privileged people who think nothing has changed in the last decade because you’re simply not part of the target groups yet.

    Life is so much worse for so many people because of Trump and to pretend like it wouldn’t get worse with a second presidency (you know, the one where they intend to destroy democracy and the voting process and have said as much and have documents detailing how they plan to do it) is simply idiotic.




  • Honestly there isn’t a legitimate reason.

    Tldr “tradition” and insecurity, probably.

    There was once a issue with Cuba a long time ago, but that got resolved and the US just decided to keep punishing Cuba as, in my opinion, a warning to other neighbors who would dare oppose it. “help out our opponents and get smothered”

    The only reason it’s continuing is because of weak administrations thinking that admitting people who ran the country in the past were wrong somehow makes them or the country look weak.

    Honestly the only thing that seems weak to me is continuing to kick someone who’s been down for decades but still manages to find areas to flourish and be better than the “superpower” that’s kicking it.



  • It could be a sign they’re gearing for all out war economy in preparation of a massive offensive on multiple fronts…

    Or it could be a sign their already not great corruption-riddled military absolutely screwed the pooch in terms of (not) maintaining things and pocketing the money, and now to compensate for what needs replaced as well as current losses, a large portion of their economy has to be diverted in order to keep from being completely demolished on the front lines.

    In no way does that mean “Russia is facing imminent defeat”, just that they have to focus on making guns and ammo to replace what’s being lost and can’t focus on other things right now.
