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.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Japanese devs face font licensing dilemma as leading provider increases annual plan price from $380 to $20,000+English
192·5 days agoLandlords province nothing to society, they are leeches who profit off others hard work simply because they “own the property” the worker lives on and takes care of.
Save a tree, axe a landlord.
Also runners-up: staff weapon opening, rings activating.
O’Neill is my spirit animal.
But like… With way more confidence.

World News@beehaw.org•Venezuela accuses Trump of 'colonial threat,' after US president 'closes' its airspaceEnglish
0·7 days agoDoes anyone for a moment think any article would use the phrase “Saudi/North Korean/Chinese president ‘closes’ US airspace” in any way if it were a threat to the US?

World News@lemmy.world•Swiss voters reject mandatory national service for women and new inheritance taxEnglish
975·7 days agoIs Switzerland full of sexist people who think “someday I’LL be rich so I don’t want to tax MYSELF more, hypothetically maybe in the distant future”?
Understandable.
It’s a fairly middle-of-the-road, while being catchy and therefore played all over the place.
I’ve felt similar about a lot of popular songs in recent years. They just feel bland, but some parts still get stuck in my head every so often.
I lost my grandmother and my sister is currently in treatment, both my parents are showing symptoms but don’t have money for Healthcare and refuse to go into medical debt. I myself am sitting on top of a handful of symptoms I’m willfully ignoring hoping they’ll go away.
It is a heartwarming post.
Just seems like a weird place to be negative.

Having friends would be nice…
I mean, he was the head of the company that wanted to be making them, of course he predicted they’d be everywhere and tiny.

4·21 days agoDefibrillated his ass, but same effect.
But he only cared because Mal was in his way, then had the audacity to question a doctor.
“when your supervisor hears about the rude and disrespect-” bzzzzzzt
… “clear.”

15·22 days agoDamn, the Blue Gloves are still super interesting to me.
And I love the complacency/disinterest the hospital employees are toward them. Mal launches into the medical jargon, and the woman just interrupts him to essentially wave him on. She doesn’t care. She isn’t interested. Just keep moving.
As long as you act like you belong, you can just walk in and take what you want. The arrogance is remarkable. They don’t even think about people like the crew of Serenity.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it common for family members to spy on each other's sexual behavior to find evidence of "degeneracy"? Or did I grow up in hell?English
33·22 days ago“God told me to do it.”
The first time I heard that as a teenager, I made sure nobody ever felt comfortable saying it around me again.
Some mild stripping, knocked over glassware, and “speaking in tongues” later, sorry god made me do it.

World News@lemmy.world•Russian soldier sentenced to life in jail in unprecedented Ukrainian trialEnglish
8·30 days ago“well you see, it’s perfectly reasonable that he murdered a surrendered soldier, as he was just following orders!”
The “just following orders” defense still going strong 80 years later.
I’m sure it’s going to be used a lot in the coming decades, assuming the governments actively involved in horrifying human rights abuses ever see any sort of reform…

Calm down there, Satan.
