Miles O'Brien
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.
“You can cut that out, right?”
“We can… But we won’t.”
Here’s how I imagine this will go
People: Hey, that company isn’t following the laws
Politician: oh no, I’ll look into it
Company exec: yeah we don’t want to follow the laws, so we won’t.
Politician: well, I asked them nicely but if I actually do anything to punish them, then they won’t give me money anymore so my hands are tied.
1: holy shit that title is a… It’s something, alright.
B- if you spend extra money on top of normal costs on a game that’s still not even released, you get what you fucking deserve.
“The Ronald Reagan Abortion Clinic for Tolerance and Equality”
Damn, I would abandon that lever so hard…
Legit the moment a game pulls this shit on me I lose interest.
Just once I’d love to see a major government force a company into bankruptcy by making them clean up their own mess.
Company: “We can’t clean up our industrial mining waste, it’s too expensive and we would go under!”
Government: okay well we will have the taxpayers pay for it. Here have a bailout. Remember, daddy loves you so much “Oh then I guess you should have factored that into your costs. Get to work. And when you have no more money to pay for others to clean it up for you, we expect to see the executives and management out there with gloves and a can-do attitude”
I know fully grown adults who think the constitution has never been altered, the ammendments were always there and “just what the founding fathers worked on after signing it and sending it to king George”, and that any talk about congress changing things after the fact is just 'liberal propaganda" and at least one person, when asked why they think that, responded with “well I’ve never seen an Ammendment happen in my lifetime so obviously it doesn’t happen.”
Several of these adults are related, so I can see why multiple people in the same family might hold that belief, but the fact that I know MORE THAN ONE is insane to me.
I went to school in a non-religious school that was very much a religious area. Sex Ed was basically the scene in Mean Girls “If you have Sex you WILL GET PREGNANT and DIE”
Just put sleeping aids in his coffee, chloroform is terrible for your throat and lungs.
They quite clearly told the world what the other way was on January 6th, 2021.
But instead of learning from history, and taking care of the problem with harsh sentences representative of the crime that was committed, we went ahead and put on the fluffy kid gloves.
And nobody cares about the grumbling in the background about bullshit sentences. They’ll use the same tired excuse of “we don’t want to appear biased” or “we don’t want to start more violence”
And the mere fact that they’re too scared to punish people over fear of retribution just goes to show that domestic terrorism works! Yay! Something something we live in a society I guess.
