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 my parents church has the decency to give first time visitors a free 6oz cup of coffee.

    I decided a long time ago that if I ever walk in and don’t recognize anyone, and someone thinks I’m a visitor who didn’t grow up there, I’m going to start quoting Bible verses about how selling shit inside the church is wrong and I would be channeling the righteous anger of Jesus himself if I flipped all their tables and whipped them.

    Unfortunately despite the fact that I have been there twice in 10 years, people still recognize me.













  • 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…


  • 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

    spoiler

    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.


  • Oh completely 100% agreed, and neglect isn’t the only form of child abuse going on but CPS has visited them plenty of times and interviewed all the kids and neighbors (before we moved in) over custody battles with some adopted ones. (they’re all related, long story with too many identifying details but some parents died and all the children are cousins and siblings) so they at least aren’t doing anything that CPS cares about.

    But holy shit I have never wanted to curb stomp my sister in law a-la American History X more than when I went over one day and I could hear screaming halfway down the 1/4mi driveway, and when I walked in she was in the 6 year Olds face screaming at the top of her lungs about how she’s tired of telling the 6 year old to put her shoes away, four of the kids were slowly doing chores in the living room and kitchen with tears running down their faces, and I could hear the 13 year old sobbing upstairs. Their mother screamed so hard and long that she burst a blood vessel in her eye and detached the retina. As usual though the moment she saw me she stopped and pretended like she wasn’t doing anything.

    Since then I’ve had my phone on record in my pocket whenever I’m coming over unannounced just in case I can catch it. Bare minimum it will be something to show the courts when one of the kids becomes a serial killer.

    Their dad is no help, he’s an enabler and honestly a broken shell of a person when it comes to his wife.

    Grandparents are worse than parents.

    My wife watches them whenever she can, and takes them on surprise day trips to get away from their parents and some of the siblings when possible but holy shit they do not make it easy to take them anywhere.

    I don’t regret marrying my wife but I can honestly say my in-laws are insane and anyone could understand why I hate them.

    Uhhhhhhh what was the topic again? Sorry for the vent.
