I mean…. One single country being missing from a defensive pact shouldn’t cripple the defensive pact. So that’s how it always should have been.

Immigrants are both lazy slobs that mooch off society, AND taking all our jobs.

The enemy is both weak and strong.

Being propped up by calcium sticks.

I’d love to!

Now if anyone wants to donate to my Moving Fund…

Either that or it will become a toxic cesspool that you can smell for kilometers.

As someone who used to like the pool, I hope this happens and stays that way until we sort our shit out.

I tend to make my own tex-mex, but there’s a place nearby that I love to go to when I’m feeling down.

That said, sometimes when I’m out and I want something “close enough” that I can eat while driving (one hand and I can drop it without it going everywhere) I get a bean and cheese burrito with a cup of nacho cheese.

I have been getting the lgbt+ people in my area acquainted with firearms, and while some of them aren’t mentally in a place where they can join us, they will be protected if needed.

Already this year one of my “students” has had to defend themselves in an alley while walking home. Guy made transphobic comments, waited outside and followed. Security cameras managed to catch everything but in this city if there hadn’t been cameras, she’d be tossed in a cell with a bunch of guys and then the cops would leave and hope something bad happens. It wouldn’t be the first time.

When the people surrounding you would happily chuck a stone at you or hoist the rope into the tree with the rest of the lynch mob, and cops won’t protect you, all the people trying to mock you for being prepared just look like naive children whose world view extends to the end of their HOA.

Lol

Look up “Certifiably Ingame” on whatever front-end of youtube you use, and check out his Playlist on starships. He goes into detail about various classes and specific named ships, and for the classes will bring up their naming conventions and uses and whatnot.

Side note: I don’t understand the idea that an animated comedy show is somehow “less Canon” than a live action drama show.

Why?

LD is just as Canon as discovery. Honestly discovery, in my opinion, is entirely implausible because the runners were adamant that it be set before TOS, but the tech and shipsizes is definitely post DS9. Possibly even golden age of exploration huge.

But for some reason lower Decks is “not Canon” to some people…

And? So do many species. Doesn’t change anything.

Personally I view it more as “find the right balance between technology and the other living things” and “take time to appreciate the things around you”

I would argue you can absolutely disprove it, empirically. By demonstrating. Just do the thing and go “wow it didn’t take forever!”

They’re “going fishing” trying to find probable cause to get you out of the vehicle and allowed to search you and it.

If you say you’re going to / from the bar? Well obviously you’ve been drinking, please step out of the vehicle.

I don’t always say “officer you don’t need that information” I just say something like “home/library” since it provokes the least amount of questions.

Galaxy Quest is Hands down the best star trek movie.

Confession time: I actually love every single movie except the motion picture. Sorry but it’s boring. I don’t understand the hate Insurrection gets. Other than sexist dialog and weird attempt to change the previously established “not-a-relationship-it’s-complicated” thing Picard and Dr. Crusher have going on… Which I try to ignore and pretend the writers room didn’t have RICK RATFUCK BERMAN’s influence….

I don’t give them my license, I only need to show it to them. They can copy down the relevant information needed to verify it’s legitimacy the same way they do when they take it.

I don’t need to roll down my window, I only need to communicate with them. They can speak up and I am more than capable of yelling so they don’t misunderstand anything. An open window is not needed unless someone plans on reaching through it, which neither of us need to do.

I don’t need to give them my insurance card, they only need to know it’s current and for this vehicle. Again they can copy down relevant information and call the insurance company later, which they weren’t going to do anyway.

I don’t need to tell them where I was, or where I was going, as it’s none of their business and not relevant to the stop, which was likely for failing to signal properly, or speeding due to a missed sign.

There’s plenty you dont HAVE to tell them, give them, or show them, but if you’re going to do any of the above, know your state and local laws regarding these, and don’t be intentionally rude, since they’re already going to be pissy.

Also note: it’s much easier to get through this sort of interaction if you’re white. We all know cops are racist shitbags just looking for an excuse.

I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, just someone who is tired of being targeted in the areas around Columbus Ohio that are known for pulling people over for the slightest of infractions in order to go fishing for a reason to arrest someone.

Turning men into pigs?

Or just making their outside match their inside?

Note: no disrespect meant to the noble Sus genus, nor Sus Domesticus specifically. It is unfortunate that pig is used as a negative descriptor when pigs are actually quite clean and respectful creatures, unlike most men.

She tries to go around or leap over them, or runs across them like they’re a platform in a video game that will fall if you stand on them too long.

Likely she is ripping out paw pad hairs as the slats shift around and pinch together, and there is the possibility of getting claws stuck as well.

That’s why my largest dog doesn’t like them.

Mkultra is STILL treated like some nut job conspiracy theory.

I bring it up as example of how the government will do whatever to whoever and lie for decades, fuck the consequences.

People look at me like I’m crazy, and plenty have even straight up told me mk ulta isn’t real, is just a conspiracy, just an excuse for hippies who did too many drugs, any number of “that didn’t happen” excuses. Including “if it actually happened, we would know”. To which I responded “THEY FUCKING ADMITTED IT” and that was the end of the conversation because I cursed and therefore lost an “argument” I didn’t know I was in…

Ohio is crazy…

Honestly I wouldn’t even bother saying it’s an annotated Bible, as long as it’s pulling from a translation of the Bible that a church would use, it’s the same Bible.

I love when someone tries calling me out on not using “the right” translation, because depending on how the conversation has gone up to then, I will either pull out a king James edition, or start listing any of the dozens upon dozens of English translations available, asking if this one or that one was valid enough, until I’ve made my point.

My Bible when I first read all the way through was a new living translation children’s adventure Bible. It had a few illustrations in the family-friendly well-covered areas, mostly new testament. I thought it was pretty fucked up in some parts already, and they did kind of change the phrasing and language to be less obvious to children what is being said.

The one I usually use for reference now is a new international version with no annotations or additional context that was gifted to me when I graduated highschool.

The road rash as in “the road now looks red like it has a rash”?

Those speeds aren’t Road rash, they’re meat crayon territory.

And I don’t know if there would be much meat left by the time the crayon stopped.
