Did… Did you down vote your own comment? I’m still not sure how federated votes work, but for me on startrek.website it says 0 up 1 down.

When my neighbor still drives the truck for the company that shot my son for taking an illegal sip of rain water, my neighbor is the enemy and will be judged for his complicity.

I’m sorry, do you think Europe will be unaffected by global climate change?

My 4 month old laptop has hdmi on the back, ethernet on the left, four usb 3.whatever slots with two on each side, two USB c slots on the right side, and a microsd slot.

I think it even has a 3.5mm headset jack but I’d have to get out of bed to check. I don’t have any peripherals that use 3.5mm anymore though so it’s just a nice little bonus.

She will never forgive me for making her my mother’s potato casserole.

“general era of one’s birth” has a lot more impact on well… everything… About a person’s life Way more than “time of year”

You are way more likely to be similar to the people born in the 5-10 years around you than to people born 50 years prior but in the same month.

But hey, as long as it’s just for fun and you aren’t basing major life altering decisions on things… Why would I care if you like giggling at the little blurbs in newspapers about how ridiculous capricorns are when mars is in retrograde.

Oh man, Bunnicula was probably the first book I ever chose to read of my own free will, not because it was in my parents library, an assigned book, or gifted to me.

First grade me had no idea what choosing a book would do to your desire to read.

(the point you were making)
















Their head

One of two things is going to happen when companies decide they own (all) the fresh water (and people become desperate)

Either the company hires enough goons and/or thugs to keep their “investment” safe through lethal force and scare the plebs away, possibly employing bribing “lobbying” governments to do it for them

OR

The people who are right there next to water sources they are being told to pay more than they can afford to drink from will arm themselves and overwhelm the defending forces with sheer numbers, resulting in an internationally covered bloodbath, kickstarting Water War 1 as other companies rush to beat back any perceived defiance, nations attempt to secure access to fresh water whether it’s on their land or not, and normal people prepare for the worst.

I’m not a data hoarder, I just don’t like deleting something that I may want to open at some point in the distant future…

Funny that the thing that ends up killing us is a pretty old technology…

Who doesn’t?

I go a bit farther than most people and bring disinfecting wipes to wipe down before and after I use the machine. After seeing a gym employee pour half of one cleaning spray bottle into another and fill them both with water from the drink fountain, I decided I didn’t trust gyms to have proper cleaning supplies.

By the time I die I will probably have spent a full gym’s worth of equipment in wipes, but for now I still can’t afford a home gym outside a couple free weights.

You have to follow up any looks or double takes with something exra.

“Oh don’t worry. That’s for after.” wiggles eyebrows

“I carried my equipment out to the car”

Vs

“I schlepped all my brothers’ crap out to the car again”

THIS! RIGHT HERE!

When I was young and naive about digital things, I had NO BACKUP

One day I got a new laptop. Yay me. Transfer all the data from my old hard drive using some jank-ass local network setup because young and dumb about tech still.

Six months go by, and my new laptop shit itself. Still no idea what happened, but it BSODd and a factory reset got it working again.

I still had my old laptop, so after about a week of searching on forums and reading everything I could find about how to build a pc, how laptop internals compare, data transfers, and literally anything I could so I could pull the old hard drive out without damaging anything and get at least some of my data without issue…

I lost 6 months of new stuff on a much more capable laptop, but it’s better than losing EVERYTHING.

It’s the eternal pointless chase for a meaning that was never there and never will.

So… Life.

I legitimately thought she had died on my first watch, and that the crew were basically raising Naomi as a village.

Star Trek didn’t do recurring characters very well… Except Q and Lwaxana.

As I like to tell everyone I hear ask, don’t ask someone how the job search is going

If it’s going well, you will know. If you haven’t heard, but you’re close enough to expect to hear about it, then it’s not going well and the person probably doesn’t want the reminder that it’s not going well.

It would have cost you nothing to not post this.

nothing!

Haven’t I suffered enough?

because he’s gonna be set for life.

Lolololololol no

He will sue, the state will settle for 20mil and then quietly cancel the settlement payment after people move on from the story.

That’s what they always do.
