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.

  • I’ll be damned if I’m going through a singing episode.

    You simply cannot see the wisdom of Mahanit.

    I usually don’t like most singing episodes, but I liked the SNW one.

    I was also never into TOS but SNW is great.

    Lower Decks has become a comfort show.

    So far discovery has held my interest, but there are so so many problems I have while watching it… My head cannon is that it’s an alternate time line that diverged thousands of years ago.

    I don’t see myself watching Picard. I feel like Star Trek TNG left it at a good point with Insurrection (apologies to people who hated it, but it was my introduction to star trek and has a special nostalgia that I get to laugh about the terrible and/or poorly written parts)

    Also I pretend nemesis doesn’t exist.



  • Every time my wife and I get passed by another lifted 350, one of us usually goes, in a sing-song voice, “tiny penis” to which the other responds, *clap-clap-clapclap-clap"

    Or at least we used to. It’s so common now it’s not funny anymore.

    Car companies could make sensible smaller vehicles that give proper balance to comfort, safety, and serviceablility. Instead they want more money and to follow the least amount of regulations, so now everything has to be big and terrible for both the environment and people. They unilaterally decided “fuck everyone who isn’t in one of our cars”

    My city just installed another new lane down the main shopping area and made the existing ones wider to accommodate the huge spike in larger vehicles since covid.

    So far it’s caused several accidents because they shifted the lanes over and the lines are poorly marked right now, so some people are continuing straight while others swerve into them with the lines.

    Also it’s mostly to put in “turn only” lanes along the right side, but with how many people are turning it just congests as people try to “get around the slow traffic” and end up trying to merge with 2 car lengths before the intersection.

    Yes, I have very strong opinions on these matters, how did you guess?



  • I don’t care for a lot of discovery, but I can’t say it’s not entertaining. I have made it to season 2 episode 9 so far. Not sure why but I stopped there and picked up another show.

    It doesn’t rank in my top 3 series, but it’s not deserving of all the hate it gets.

    I love strange new worlds, haven’t seen the newest season yet but I’m working on rewatching the whole series.

    I haven’t seen Picard, and honestly I don’t think I will. I won’t pass judgment on it’s quality, as I haven’t seen any of it, but I know enough to know I might be disappointed.

    And if I’m being honest with myself I just want to keep the nostalgia of TNG the way it is: Pretending Nemesis never happened.

    The new shows are overall good. Every show has its hits and misses. I skip a lot of season 1 TNG.

    And I skip the intro of every Enterprise episode. No, I don’t have enough faith, at least not while watching the show. It’s a banger though and in my Playlist.

    It’s okay to not like the new shows, it’s not okay to shit on other people who do.





  • 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.

    As someone who tries to eat less meat in general because climate change and cows are basically giant grass eating slightly smellier dogs, I cannot take anyone who unironically uses “carnist” and “bloodmouth” seriously from that point on.

    The more names you use to describe “person who eats meat” that you think are insulting and derogatory, the more people roll their eyes and move on with their planned meal.
