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.

    Me, living next to a corn field: “ah goddamn it, not again…” reaches for mouse trap bucket

    I hate mice.

    I used to be one of those “I’ll catch and release them down and across the road” but now I’m getting close to setting this place on fire.

    I’ve plugged every external hole and put steel mesh on the crawl space openings. The space between the walls and foundation have been re-insulated, and every time I find a mouse hole it gets filled with expanding foam. There’s no food being left out, and the only internal source of water is a possible drip inside my washing machine. I throw mouse poison around the crawl space and put cedar shavings from my garage around everywhere I think a mouse might be able to squeeze in.







  • It’s a scene from Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones.

    Here we see the characters Anakin Skywalker (left) and Padme Amidala (right) sitting in a field while on the planet of Naboo, Amidala’s home planet. Anakin is poorly hitting on her like the awkward teenager he is.

    However, instead of referencing sexual fluids, he is speaking in reference to the overall system of governance that the Republic has become.

    I am not trying to be condescending so please don’t take my extended explanation as such, I just assume you have no idea what any of it is since you asked a question that would be answered if you had seen and remembered the movie at some point.




  • When my wife and I were living in a basement, I made a fake window out of an old TV I had. High CRI led strips, a lace curtain, and some leveling later and we had a nice light source that made it feel less depressing in our room.

    We aren’t in a basement anymore, but in winter I put the fake window in the real window around 430ish. It helps with seasonal depression a bit, but I miss actual sunlight every year. Especially now that I have a job that has me inside, away from windows, from before sunrise to after sunset.



  • kick off a civil war

    looks around at “detention” camps

    looks around at military being moved around in preparation for things

    looks around at states invading other states with their own guard members

    looks around at civilians being executed on camera in the streets by government-backed SS-style secret police

    My brother/sister/non-binary in the flying spaghetti monster, we are there. Whether it’s one-sided or not is going to be the real question.




  • Every republican that talks shit about gun control, I roll with it and see how far they’ll agree with me.

    “hell yeah, the government shouldn’t be allowed to control our guns!”

    “fucking politicians always getting scared of people just for owning and carrying guns. They don’t kill you by accident!”

    “anti-gun nut Ronald Reagan got scared of people walking around open carrying, and he fucked California up with gun control while Governor! Brought it to Washington with him, too! cites laws signed by Reagan

    I lose a lot of the with this one. Somehow Ronald Reagan is their idol?

    “yeah man, if they can take a trans persons guns, they can take yours too!”

    That last one is where I lose almost all of them.

    If there is a hell, Ronald Reagan is getting pineapple’d with Hitler, Margaret Thatcher, and Charlie Kirk.
