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.

  • Absolutely can’t stand watching people play video games. They play wrong.

    And the only videos I watch of a game are ones to see what kind of game it is when I don’t know too much beyond word of mouth “this game is great” kind of thing. Sure, you’ve described the game as an action-packed romp with tons of weapons and semi-open world, but the video shows it’s a 2d side scroller with variations of the same 5 pixel “guns” that all shoot the same ball. Not interested.

    Beyond that, I have no interest in watching videos. And if companies started trying to somehow cram even more ads into their games to advertise to people watching a stream then I’m even less in than before













  • Every time my family brings up some character they believe “didn’t need to be gay”, I start bringing up movies I know they like that have unnecessarily ham-fisted romances that make no sense.

    To all the people who think Pacific Rim would have been improved by Raleigh and Mako kissing at the end, you are wrong. There was 0 need for romance in a movie about giant robots beating the shit out of giant alien monsters.

    Most action movies don’t need their little romance subplots, yet they’re everywhere.

    Most movies would be mostly unchanged if you took out any romantic entanglement at all.

    9/10 times, they’re all unnecessary.

    But if they’re going to be crammed in, they should be representative. Lgbtq+ exist. They deserve representation.

    My family has mostly stopped mentioning it around me.

    Oh, by no means am I trying to be “both sides”-ing, it’s very clearly one side in the wrong trying to pull everyone off a cliff, and the other “side” (usually just a bunch of people with no official support because it’s not profitable to go against the military industrial complex) trying desperately to prevent it.

    I’m just getting as tired of hearing the phrase as I am “woke”

    Myself, I don’t think this is in preparation for imperial colonialism, which honestly is becoming to sound like the word “woke” now, but for the opposite side where the second I hear it I toll my eyes and wonder what dumbass take I’m about to read says.

    It’s definitely a opinion piece paid for by people who profit from war, and is 100% just another ultra-capitalist trying to influence public opinion to make themselves richer.

    The only ones who benefit from war are the dictators and shareholders of weapons manufacturers.

    This isn’t “imperial colonialism” is “capitalism that profits on death is still good, full steam ahead”
