Miles O'Brien

WOAH there, slow down a bit.

He would never go to some backwoods country and tell them how to live their lives.

He will send OTHER people, no point in getting his shoes dirty by actually going there.

It’s an American tradition.

Honestly I find Russian general’s belief in a 3 day offensive more credible than that.

Nearly 1000 days later, even.

I legitimately think he will die before ever seeing consequences.

The people in charge are too fucking scared to actually punish him because TERRORISM WORKS

They just straight up don’t want to punish people because they’re afraid some MAGAts might get mad and start continue to shoot things up.

They tried to murder members of congress and the vice president once, and nobody involved has recieved a punishment fitting of the crime. Certainly not the punishment we were taught happens when we were in school.

Here’s the one that convinced my dad that connecting everything is bad:

Your smart fridge knows what’s inside and knows you just added a 12 pack of soda and donuts to the shopping list. They sell that data to a bunch of companies, including your insurance company. They know you have diabetes.

Your insurance rates just went up for the fifth time this year because your insurance company knows what you’re eating.

And it’s a good thing you don’t drink beer or your car insurance would have gone up ‘due to increased risk factors.’ too bad you wanted to buy a new car this year.

Not only can you not afford it now, the price went up because they know you want a car. I’m sure they would make a payment deal with you though.

And every company will know all about the deal, the beer, the donuts, and all it took was sending money to whatever company had the information, and they were more than happy to sell it.

The more we allow companies to freely operate like this without regulation and without proper punishment for breaking the rules, we will continue sliding toward the hellscape of Ferenginar. For the non trekkies, it’s a hyper-capitalist species of profit-driven assholes.

My old school didn’t understand why none of us wanted to use the shiny new dark green playground equipment on the large flat freshly sealed blacktop.

Never mind the fact that it’s too hot on the pavement, the tar sealant smells horrible, and the color choice of the equipment guarantees 2nd degree burns…

We wanted the grass and wooden equipment back. But the school though wood was too much maintenance, And grass grows too much.

I’m not gonna go check to see if kids are even using it anymore, but satellite imagery shows the playground is still just as gross.

Pfffft. Miss me with that shit.

I drink tea thank you.

I saw an arcade version at a flea market in Ohio a few weeks ago.

I was confused as fuck, but figured “well the creator probably doesn’t give enough of a shit to sue anyone over it”

I guess I’m kinda right.

“Yay, I get to legally murder someone today! This’ll shut up my hippy liberal relatives” -Metz, shortly before pulling up to the teen’s car

And since this is the world we live in, most people proceed with that understanding.

This was not the case in 2007.

Well that’s entirely dependent on whether the Borg completely negate the death star weapons.

You only get a couple shots on any given frequency modulation of your energy weapons.

So as long as they have like… 6 or 7 ships? They’re good to go. After losing two or three ships. Just keep shooting until the death star goes boom.

If they hide inside a cargo ship and get tractor beamed into one of the bays, then I’d say it’s only a matter of time before they control the entire death star.

Oh is it time for another final warning again?

Damn, lost a bet. I thought for sure it would be at least two weeks.

You go right ahead and ignore the lever, I’m sure all the people on both sets of tracks understand you not wanting to get involved since it doesn’t benefit you to pull it.

That could come later.

For now it just means reassigned to a desk somewhere not too far from MPs.

That’s unfortunate.

I do enjoy builders and management games, so I was hoping it had improved.

I’ve got my fingers crossed that they pull a No Man’s Sky and actually strive to make a playable game, but the longer it takes, the less likely it seems.

That could mean that the already content players are still happy with their game, and the vocal haters don’t have enough to hate on that doesn’t sound petty.

I say that as someone who has not played CS2 and plays 1 heavily modded… So the fuck do I know

I’m never sure what she’s currently watching, since she flips around between various shows, and hinges them quickly.

Currently she’s watching some procedural crime drama shows, but I’m sure she will be looking into more when she finishes the current series.

I’ll have to suggest those to her when she starts up again!

100% for sending a message.

That bridge is pre-sighted for artillery or has its own dedicated missile just waiting for someone to hit the proverbial button.

If it’s not, then that’s just bad planning.

The real question is “do they wait for someone to try crossing before blowing it up, or just do it the moment Russian forces twitch in that direction?”

Meanwhile, my terrier mix: come on, throw it. Throw the toy. I want you to throw it. Throw it. Come on just throw it. HERE it’s in your hand now, so THROW IT

and he will start waving his paw around like he’s making a petting motion, posed in a “I’m ready to run” stance.

Also he has managed to figure out if he holds a toy under one paw, and smacks it to the opposite side with his other paw, he can fling it up to 10ft, but usually just does it to toss it at our faces if we don’t throw it quick enough.

While my wife watches them, I find myself asking “what was the point of adding that into the show?” too often.

It really does feel like the show is just going “And get a load of THIS sad sack, piece of shit, worthless, spineless, insecure little fuckwit who’s just THE most unpopular at school, and work, and all the cool people HATE them ALL BECAUSE [generic reason that 95% of people can relate to]”

I’m sorry show, but we don’t need to know if the murderer had dropped a scoop of ice cream at the park when they were 27.

Hey, I’ll have you know I only have one alt!

… Don’t tell Keiko, but it’s for porn.
