Miles O'Brien

I would be going to prison or dead shortly after discovering that cops killed my dogs.

I care more about my dogs than I do about the vast majority of humans. And I care about humans way more than cops.

Reminder that George Tekei is still alive and he was put in an Internment camp.

A dramatization, by someone slightly baked:

"This is my neighbor. I keep him from getting too uppity by basically making it impossible to live here, since because of Me everything is insanely expensive or they literally can’t buy it.

As anyone who works for me can tell you, it’s not MY fault I’m doing this. It’s because I don’t like the colors of their shirt. Blame the shirt. And everyone take a look at how dumb wearing this shirt makes you look! See what happens when you wear it? You end up like him EVERY TIME! For more proof just look at all these other people who’s shirts I didn’t like and also attempted to kill (allegedly wink wink) and see how poorly they’re doing. I’m such a good neighbor. Just ask my richer neighbor. And ignore anyone inside frantically shaking their head no. Number 1!"

The more you know about the process of oil/coal and how it’s extracted and used, the more you would be convinced Satan or some sort of evil chaos demon like Nurgle is responsible for it.

It starts with death, and goes right on to burning in LITERAL fire to produce toxic gasses. Basically the traditional Christian Hell.

If the options are “I die, my pets die, my entire family dies, a slow painful climate and pollution-driven death”

Vs

“these 20 companies get permanently shut down, their resources reallocated, their infrastructure dismantled and repurposed, their employees find new jobs potentially repurposong said industry, and executives get locked in solitary for the rest of their lives”

I know which I’d pick.

And if it’s legal to use lethal force when defending one’s life and one’s family, then it’s legal to use lethal force to defend one’s life and family

Companies can die without a single real human being hurt.

Apologies to any furries, or other kin who might be reading and feel hurt, but I genuinely don’t get how you feel the way you do. BUT

I also don’t HAVE to “get it” to know it’s who you are, it’s part of your identity, and even if I wanted to change it I couldn’t.

Be as “weird” or “normal” or “kinky” or “reserved” as you want to be. It’s none of my business. It’s none of anyone’s business except yours.

All the bullshit fear mongering hatred is so fucking stupid. “oh look they are wearing something that helps them feel closer to who they are, that makes me angry!” like Bruh… There are much more important things to worry about. Like how the country is going to implode in the next 4 years because half the US is bigoted pieces of shit who want a bigoted piece of shit in charge, and they LITERALLY want to wipe out people like this…

Fuck outta here with bullshit divisive hatred over something as trivial as “they’re a furry/something not cishetero/whatever”

Be a furry. Be ungovernable. Be whatever you are. To hell with republican hangups.

Legitimately, I’ve been feeling like I’m just a jaded cynic because my first thought after seeing the videos was “yeah, 100% they got paid or encouraged to do this by someone in the IDF/Government/mossad in order to continue the victim narrative they love to play nowadays”

Like… Maybe I’m just a shitty person, but it feels like the government of Israel really wants the world to equate the government with the people, and the country with all jews everywhere. So if you criticize one, you clearly must hate ALL of them, and therefore you are no better than a nazi in WW2.

It’s the same society that just elected a fascist dictator-wannabe. No matter how many intelligent people you know, there’s enough to do that.

Maybe warning labels were a mistake…

It’s gonna be peak face-eating season during holidays when my parents go to retire during this presidency but find out that they can’t because social security doesn’t exist anymore, 75% of their paycheck goes to either the military budget or kings tribute tax, and everything has doubled in price.

I’ll have you know 65% does not go out of my tail pipe.

It goes out a hole in the exhaust manifold that I’m too poor to patch up.

It’s a wee bit out of my bailiwick, sad to say. Their “hobby smarts” are my “oh my god this is the most concentration I’ve ever had to use to figure something out smarts” although regular astronomy is a hobby I can never get enough of

All I’ve got for now is a tiny 4in newtonian , and though I do want to upgrade, it’s on the back burner for a few years while all my other expenses are sorted.

Still orders of magnitude better than the refractor I used to have.

You mean the thing that we keep getting reminded every single year is a scam, was always a scam, and never had any intentions other than to delay anyone pushing actual regulations with a pinky promise to do better “eventually”…

That maybe the companies are… Lying to us?

Do you really think a company, the pinnacle of honest capitalism, would ever lie for short term profits?

Perish the thought!

Honestly this was my first thought.

“sounds like the DOD wanted to test if anyone would notice they moved something with the X37”

Never underestimate how far amateur radio telescope operators will go for a clean sky.

The OG most wanted is hands down my favorite of all time.

I dropped $40 just to play on my Xbox around 10 years ago.

I’d buy it again if I didn’t already have it installed.

“You are not allowed to use the law to block human trafficking” - A judge in the US

I’m not saying laws are inherently just and good, this just isn’t a good look.

On par, though.

You joke, buuuuuuut https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/12/launch-code-for-us-nukes-was-00000000-for-20-years/

The USAF has denied this, multiple times.

I do not believe them.

Mainly because I know how people were during the cold war and have no doubt in my mind that the thought process was “nobody will ever access this without a reason, so let’s make it super quick and easy or we might be radioactive slag before we finish typing”

The mere fact that it’s believable is a problem.

Luckily, a legal “official act of the president” can work on more than one person.

I’m not saying it’s a great choice, but it is there.

Sometimes life gives you shitty choices.

The keys to GAINING power are not the same keys needed to KEEP power.

They gained the power (or will in a few months)

Now they need to keep it.

If one of the keys needed to get it could potentially turn on you, it’s better for your regime to eliminate them as soon as possible after taking power.

For a better explanation, CGP GREY has a video about rules for rulers, which clears things up quite well: https://youtu.be/rStL7niR7gs

Nobody sued them over gay leaders.

They got sued by parents over not doing anything about pedos, AND got sued by prospective leaders because they were being prevented from joining over their sexual orientation.

Bill wanted to be a scoutmaster since he grew up with scouts, but since he was gay, he was not allowed. He then sued the organization over it. (idk names, that’s just for clarity)
