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.
My family usually get an “okay I’m gonna go now. I’ll see you later” and that’s about it.
But by then they can tell I’ve had enough of people today and want to leave so they’re never surprised.
And if anyone wants to think I left because they arrived, so be it. I am not the shepherd of my family’s emotions.
I can’t just leave without saying anything though. Not unless they pissed me off.
I’ve got a pretty nice system.
1: PANIC
B- Go
You may notice there’s no conversation before the final step. This is because my anxiety doesn’t allow me much talking until I can decompress.
It’s worked so far.
“It was great seeing you again”
“but… You just got here five minutes ago”
“SO great…”
May I… Stand unshaken…
“…thank you…”
I’m not crying YOU’RE CRYING
I’ve been seeing a lot of comments on lemmy, youtube, various forums and 3d printing sites, of people promoting bambulabs printers lately.
I’m not saying they’re definitely paying people or having employees go make comments pushing their products, but I do have a foil hat on standby…
I’m content with my own ender 3 setup with some modifications in an enclosure but for a split second, I actually considered Bambu for my next printer.
They killed my desire completely with all their proprietary shit.
Let me use whatever I want to use with the thing I own, or get completely fucked. Preferably by a cactus, but pineapples are an okay substitute
The only celebrating I do is eating slightly more unhealthy, take the day off work unless it’s going to be a short day, and maybe look to see if any games in my “maybe if it’s on steep sale” list are on sale.
That’s it.
I don’t remind people, I dont expect anyone to remember, but it’s nice when they do.
My excuse for missing people’s birthdays is I DO know the date… I just don’t know what the date today is. Sure I know my sister was born on the 12th, but that doesn’t matter if I think today is the 10th and it’s actually the 15th…
So if I have that much problem, it wouldn’t be very chill to be upset with others for missing mine.
I have “all time fave” which are games I keep reinstalling every so often, then I have “installed” vs “not installed”
The category for favorites is just so when I inevitably go to look for a game to install because I’m bored with what I have, it’s at the top when I un-check the “installed” button.
Attorneys don’t just file a suit because their client said so: they generally need to be shown there’s an actionable case with a chance if winning
Man, I used to believe that.
The last 8 years have shown me otherwise.
A balrog? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Located entirely within the confines of the walkway leading from the crack of doom?
As someone who paid enough attention in highschool chemistry to get a B, and occasionally watches Nile(red/blue) and E&I videos… I know some of these words/symbols!
Which is insane, how do you pillage most of the planet looking for spices to sell people and then have the blandest food in the world…
I’m sure that would have looked great to all the gathered men who were still alive.
“oh yeah, the elves showed up and one of them went up to the crack of doom with Isildur after his father died, and the elf came back alone and wouldn’t tell us what happened inside. Something’s fucky. We better prepare for an attack from the elves.”
Whether anyone actually threw hands immediately or not, men and elves would have a far shittier relationship after that.
The question is, did more suffering occur because Elrond didnt do this? We can’t know.
(but probably)
I see no reason to “cut myself off” at any point, I still find games released in the last few years that look interesting, and some with release dates TBD that look neat.
I haven’t bought a new console since July 2015 and have no plans to buy a new generation any time soon.
When my current console dies, I might upgrade, but likely I will find a cheap used replacement and keep playing what I already have.
Someday I will update all my stuff, just not today.
News flash!
This, just in: “Leaders of capitalist meat grinders prepared to lie to keep money flowing and try to pull in more”
I’m shocked.
But stabbing your neighbor isn’t exactly something most people are willing to do.
And any sort of attempt at organization leads to Alphabet Squad raids and whatever bullshit charges they feel like throwing at you after deciding you’re guilty of being a dirty commie/socialist/librul/not them.
I used to work at a sporting goods store, primarily bicycles but I occasionally ran the gun counter.
It was interesting over the last decade I worked, to see how the paperwork wording changed.
The only ones that stand out in memory was asking about “illegal substance use”
First it was “are you addicted to any illegal drugs” and if you checked “yes” then you got denied the sale.
Then it changed to “addicted or USER OF any illegal drugs”
Then “user of any federally illegal substances” or something like that. I’m not sure what it is now since I haven’t run a counter in years and haven’t bought a gun in almost as long.
They clearly were trying to keep the wording so it didn’t matter what the legal status was in your area, or whether the substance you use is addictive or not.
As far as I’m concerned, Marijuana use is just as valid around firearms as alcohol use. It’s fine if you drink and it’s fine if you shoot, just don’t ever do them together.
There are a lot of people who are extremely insistent that Marijuana stays as illegal as possible, and that nobody who smokes is allowed to own a gun.
And a surprising few of them can actually articulate why for either of those.
I’m not looking forward to the inevitable board-flipping, but who knows, maybe the rest of the players will tell Kevin to sit down and shut up because even regular monopoly sucks ass.
Having just finished all 3 on my pc…
Dafuq you smokin, Bruh…
I will say though, 1 is the cluniest of them, for sure.
Any time my father brings up stuff like this, I remind him that he and his brothers drove their car onto a frozen lake and almost broke through the ice, and more than once they bought tennis balls, soaked them in gasoline, and threw them at each other with welding gloves.
I know for a fact that he and his brothers did tons of dumb shit, and I won’t let him forget it even if he finds it convenient when comparing generations.
Okay here’s the plan.
I gonna slam the door open, run straight in, and attack with the most basic of attacks I can think of.
It’s foolproof.
