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.

    You ask a bunch of questions about a task in order to convince the client that the task doesn’t need to be done at all.

    I ask a bunch of questions because I’ve forgotten half the answers already and am trying to make enough stick that I can make something close enough they don’t notice my attention is wandering while they blather.

    We are not the same.




  • This is exactly the dumb shit take from y2k.

    I Still hear people go on about how “it was supposed to be this big thing and then nothing happened! Smart people are so dumb!”

    Yeah nothing happened because a lot of smart people worked very hard to fix the goddamn problem, you fucking shitwaffle.

    Here? “You dum dums got so worked up thinking it would pass and then it didn’t, so the freak out was for nothing!” yeah it didn’t pass because a lot of Europeans got very upset about their governments trying to spy on them harder than ever.

    I’m not European, so I can’t say how people talked about it openly on the metro with random strangers, but online? People were vocal and pissed. A PROPER government (lol can we have some of that functioning democracy please) listens to its people. This was them listening to the people.

    The people’s reaction was appropriate, and necessary. And shouldn’t be lessened just because “lol you guys got so propaganda’d and it was obviously never gonna happen and I knew cause I’m so smart” is quite the take on things.




  • I love seeing the “FRENCH GOVERNMENT COLLAPSES” headlines.

    Like… A governmental collapse and this gestures broadly at France are two VERY different things.

    And if I’m being honest, when I first saw the headline I wondered if they floated raising the retirement age again and got rioted into a burned down parliament.

    France will be okay, they have protocols for this sort of thing.

    … Right? I don’t know nearly as much about the current French government as I do pre-napoleonic France. Am dum American.
