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.

  • 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.






  • I mean… Never by our current civilization.

    With climate change ramping up, less and less will be devoted to space and exploration, and more resources focused on maintaining order and keeping people fed and working.

    So unless the rest of the world can rally together in the next 50 years, we, our current civilization, will be likely nearly wiped out in the coming centuries. Not totally, I don’t think. But modern society will not survive.

    Now, I fully believe the rest of the world is completely capable of doing this, the question is can enough people in positions of power put aside petty differences and work for the betterment of humanity. Because clearly my government won’t.

    The titles is definitely click bait, and if they really believe it they’re delusional.

    Unfortunately, due to different showrunners, there are a couple.

    Like how Tony didn’t figure out hydra was infiltrating SHIELD when he hacked everything in Avengers 1. Probably should have figured that out.

    And I know people like to say there are too many hydra people for them to not be well-known or easier to discover, but personally I don’t take issue with that.

    If hydra has infiltrated key personnel, they can move whoever they want. I’d say they concentrated their forces at headquarters and on the carriers, since that was part of their big master plan. So of course there will be a lot of bags guys in the main areas and in the carriers, and it’s a testament to how few there really were that they failed. And they had sizeable resistance from non-compromised personnel.


  • I live in Ohio and am currently looking for work.

    I’m still paying to places that say drug testing, but not places that specify thc testing.

    As far as I’m concerned, it’s a legal state, and unless they have similar testing and employment rules for alcohol (which they wouldn’t be able to since it doesn’t show up two weeks later) then I should be able to smoke when I want, off the clock.

    If they test and it prevents me from getting the job, I feel slightly satisfied I wasted their time and money. If they follow up and ask about it, I will tell them straight up it’s legal in this state and they’re only limiting their options by refusing to hire people who do a legal thing.

    It’s probably just wasting my own time, but hey I’ve got time to waste.









  • Lmao no I grew up in the 90s, and we only got cheap secondhand n64 games. The apartments I grew up in were in the middle of trailer parks, but they all owned the land their trailers were on so I’ll leave it up to the reader to determine who was more bougie.

    My dad was the one who wanted the consoles and he isn’t tech savvy, so until I got my own money, it was always “plug and play” things, none of those new-fangled computers until Windows ME.

    And hilariously, I got an old macintosh in the mid 2000s and had fun figuring everything out by trial and error based off what I knew of computers at the time. Even had the x wing game on several floppies.

    I would have loved having a computer when you had to actually know how it works to use it.

    I remember waiting for next month’s issue of different gaming magazines… I never bothered knowing which magazine it was, I just waited for my dad to return from the store with whichever one he wanted that day.

    Honestly I miss in-depth game guides with the two pages of ASCII art at the top.



  • Found this out completely by accident once after my sister and I played some Mario.

    I had the 2nd controller still plugged in, and while shooting the ducks I stepped on the controller and the ducks moved differently.

    From the on, every time someone wanted to play duck hunt I would grab a second controller and make it harder for them.

    Bonus knowledge: the original game works by a light-sensitive sensor in the blaster tip, and when you pull the trigger, the screen goes black and a white square appears whee the ducks were, in a specific order. If the game controller detects the light square, it counts as a “hit” on whatever duck was in frame. You can cheat by pointing the blaster at a white light and pulling the trigger. It will just go through them one by one as you squeeze, thinking the light is the duck square.
