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.

  • “throwing together a quick meal” should have it’s own word.

    “cooking” to me implies you’re working on something worth the time it takes, something you want to put effort into.

    But when I just got home, nothing is easy to make and I have to throw something quick together, it doesn’t feel like really cooking to me. Like im half assing it, it should have a half-assed name.







  • My life has been directly, negatively impacted by Christian extremism far more than Islamic extremism.

    So far I have yet to enter a clinic that has been damaged by a Muslim’s molotov because someone is doing a thing that they think their special book says not to do.

    All religion is incompatible with civilized society as long as there are those who would twist it into a cudgel to beat down the nonbelievers.

    If you think that Islam is somehow worse than others, not only are you misinformed of current issues the world over, you are also misinformed about history in general.










  • If it weren’t so sad, it would be almost funny.

    So many people are waking up to the fact that… Most people are functionally illiterate children with no understanding of the world they live in.

    The easiest way I have to explain it:

    You use your phone every day. You know how to use it, menus in and out, all the different programs and their uses. But if I were to pop open the cover and take one single piece out, you would never know, and you would never be able to use it again. Without someone else, you have absolutely no clue how to go about fixing it. You can push it’s buttons all day, but when it comes down to how it functions at the basic levels, you are clueless.

    So am I, by the way. I don’t have any reason to know how to build or program a phone. Or computer. I can push their buttons all day though! Even hidden buttons. But if everyone else on the planet disappeared tonight, I would effectively be living in the 1500s, as that’s about where my technical understanding of things ends. (scavenging for replacement electronics notwithstanding, once something electronic breaks, it’s gone since I can’t exactly run a semiconductor factory by myself, or the mines to get the materials)

    My point is, most people only know how to “push the buttons” of the world. They have very surface-level understandingsof it. But when it comes down to it, they don’t understand how the internals actually function.

    Sorry if this rambled a bit, I hit the bowl as soon as I got home from work.
