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.

killing a cop

Weird how one civilian killing another somehow has a different meaning just because of the jobs they work. Seems pretty fucking stupid if you ask me. If it was going to be a harsher penalty(,) then I’d expect it to be a(n) actually beneficial job that people should respect like a pediatrician or janitor.

(edited for grammar)

I’ve heard plenty of people try to say WOLFENSTEIN glorifies nazis

I’ve had one idiot tell me ANY media that paints them as competent or successful is glorifying them. And setting anything in a world where they succeeded and progressed technologically instead of collapsing is basically saying Hitler’s world view is valid.

I still don’t know how to respond to that beyond “if you think the nazis were incompetent you don’t know history, and if you think showing a future where fascism took hold is unrealistic I have some bad news for you”

It’s fantasy, and specifically a fantasy in which you get to go on a massive killing spree against some of the worst people in history, how you can somehow pull “this game is making these guys look good” from that, I’m not sure.

The only time I’ve ever said fuck in front of my mother was when she cut across 3 lanes of traffic to get to the exit, and ended up getting stuck in the zebra divider until there was a big gap in traffic.

When she slammed on the brake and jerked the wheel, upon realizing she wanted to make the exit I just yelled “What that FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?”

Surprisingly even though I was still in high school, she never mentioned it. Either she realized she fucked up and let it slide or she didn’t hear me over the honking of cars, a semi, and the yelling of my dad and sister.

The Bible endorses abortion

Let’s not pretend most Christians have even read the Bible, let alone understand or follow it.

Bro, just let XT-24 have a break.

Just give him a tramp stamp. Maybe a butterfly.

… And?

Why do we give a shit?

Why is this newsworthy?

Are we going to hear about his time working in retail soon? I’m sure it will provide deep insight to find out which store he worked at for 3 months, 8 years ago. clearly that’s relevant information.

Every time my family brings up some character they believe “didn’t need to be gay”, I start bringing up movies I know they like that have unnecessarily ham-fisted romances that make no sense.

To all the people who think Pacific Rim would have been improved by Raleigh and Mako kissing at the end, you are wrong. There was 0 need for romance in a movie about giant robots beating the shit out of giant alien monsters.

Most action movies don’t need their little romance subplots, yet they’re everywhere.

Most movies would be mostly unchanged if you took out any romantic entanglement at all.

9/10 times, they’re all unnecessary.

But if they’re going to be crammed in, they should be representative. Lgbtq+ exist. They deserve representation.

My family has mostly stopped mentioning it around me.

This sounds like something that was made up for a fallout game.

Of course, so does “bombarding myself with xrays and moving around to entertain the audience looking at my bones” and “including uranium in paint to make watch dials glow”

I believe it’s properly pronounced “Brock ‘THE RAPIST’ Turner”

I was today years old when I realized that she was talking to Homer Hickam, and I’ve seen the movie October Sky more times than I can count.
