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.

    It must be great living with no anxiety or mental issues that would make such interactions not immediately comfortable for the interviewee… If you think they’re fantasizing about a bdsm sex dungeon role play instead… Well that tells me more about you than it does a potential hire.




  • Well yeah, fetuses are the perfect thing to platform.

    They don’t make any demands on you.

    As far as the US government is concerned at least, they don’t require food, water, shelter, or any assistance. It’s all on the mother. Not “the PARENTS”, mind you. The mother.

    Pregnancy complications? Mother’s fault. Never mind that she couldn’t get Healthcare, food, or shelter for herself. Those things are commie-social-Marxism if we just gave them to her.

    And when the fetus pops out as a baby after hopefully 9 months, it’s again on the mother to provide. Never mind that she can’t afford Healthcare for herself or her child, or food, or daycare so she can work to afford those things, or, or, or…

    And if you think otherwise, clearly you are a spawn of Satan and hate America, something something Jesus.


  • then why is it so popular there

    Because like many countries whose inhabitants come from a variety of places, you’ve got lots of people interested in their “heritage”

    Since most people in the US can’t say their family has been here longer than a couple hundred years, and depending on the area no more than 100 or so, a lot of people wish to know “where they came from” so to speak. DNA testing is just easier than tracing a family tree.

    I happen to be lucky enough to have a family member obsessed with genealogy, who traced down the last 1,000 or so years depending on which parts of the family and what areas they’re from, so I don’t need genetic testing to know 99% of my family is white as fuck with a couple POC from different continents and a native back in the 1700s. I don’t feel any particular draw to any culture, nor do I feel like donning traditional garb or participating in holidays, ceremonies, rituals, or customs. Some people do.

    I totally get it if it’s not your thing, especially since that kind of mentality of “ooh let’s find out where our families came from” isn’t present in most other places in the world, and definitely not to the same degree even in other colonial areas. Personally I think it’s part of that whole “melting pot” ideology, but I’m just some rando on the internet.

    Honestly even without my relative tracing the family tree, I would never have paid to give my DNA to a company for results with questionable accuracy. Shits weird, yo.






  • NYS rangers

    How did I miss that part? That’s on me.

    Yeah state parks, rangers, and anything that positively manages government land has always gotten the short end of the stick. The state police aren’t as militarily kitted out as some local PDs, at least in my experience.

    A state park near where I grew up was basically begging for volunteers because they didn’t have the budget to take care of the park more than 3ft from the parking lot. (mild exaggeration, but you get the idea)

    This whole time I’ve been thinking its some local city cops with too much time and not enough training…


  • That’s the point.

    Set the bar low, but just high enough that tons of people still trip over it.

    Sit back and enjoy the comment wars.

    The people who are confident but wrong are too proud to admit they were wrong even if they realize it, and comment angrily.

    The people who are right and know why, comment for corrections and some to show off how S-M-R-T they are.

    The people who are wrong but willing to accept that just have their realization and probably don’t think about it again. So do the people who don’t know and/or care.

    But those first two groups will keep the post going in both shares and comments, because “look at all these wrong people”

    It’s all designed to boost engagement.
