My first introduction to them was Yuve Yuve Yu, also a banger.
I got a little hyper fixated on throat singing one week and they popped into my feed. Bike rides and road trips have never been the same.
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.

Lemmy can succeed while breaking arbitrary server CoMmUnItY rules, and if you don’t think this discussion has merit then you only want Lemmy to succeed in your narrow view of what “success” is, I guess.
Newsome has the authority to have state police and the CBI to arrest guard members who don’t follow the order to stand down.
He won’t, and I don’t know if I believe the state police would side with a Democrat, but the possibility is there.
Of course, there are MANY things that politicians have had the authority to do to stop things since January, yet they haven’t.
All radicals who are willing to spill blood are on Trump’s side.
I’m not so sure on this one.
I’d like to think I’m willing to use the tools at my fingertips to sling hot lead in defense of minorities and prevent a total takeover, however, I recognize that doing so myself is a death sentence.
Taking a stand just makes you a target in a very wide open field. You need more people to take a stand with you to be effective. How many people feel the same as I do? Willing to stand as a group, but not solo?
Organization is important. Organize or be sent to a concentration camp “prison”. Organize or be arrested for protesting the regime. Organize or die.
Organized resistance is much harder to take down. With enough people, you wouldn’t even need to fight. But you should absolutely be prepared to.
then that kind of autonomy is a fictional concept that is out of reach for any modern nation.
True autonomy and isolation IS impossible for modern countries. There isn’t a single country that has access to every single resource needed for modern society, some things will always have to be imported.
A 1700s era society, however, is totally within the realm of possibility. Not much use for neodynium or lithium in the 18th century.
wtf are even 20 armed civilians supposed to do against trained military combat units?
Ask Vietnam.
Yeah I love how other countries like to mock the US for Vietnam, yet for some reason seem to forget about it when it comes to “us military would dominate their population”
I’m sorry but some random Douchebag from Omaha or some small town in Texas doesn’t know jack OR shit about the countryside around the Sierra or Appalachian mountains, and all the fancy tools at their disposal didn’t help them much when they had to search through desert for 20 years chasing down “terrorists”
Sure, the US couldn’t beat vietman because they didn’t know the terrain and would never be able to convince the people they’re shooting at its for their own good.
But that totally doesn’t apply when it’s the US fighting against itself, somehow.
The enemy is both weak and strong, I guess.
That’s fair.
I mean, the reason I have a picture should be obvious, I’m literally going for visibility with a name like this…
But 9/10 times it’s a generic name with a default or no picture.
Unfortunately, due to different showrunners, there are a couple.
Like how Tony didn’t figure out hydra was infiltrating SHIELD when he hacked everything in Avengers 1. Probably should have figured that out.
And I know people like to say there are too many hydra people for them to not be well-known or easier to discover, but personally I don’t take issue with that.
If hydra has infiltrated key personnel, they can move whoever they want. I’d say they concentrated their forces at headquarters and on the carriers, since that was part of their big master plan. So of course there will be a lot of bags guys in the main areas and in the carriers, and it’s a testament to how few there really were that they failed. And they had sizeable resistance from non-compromised personnel.
I live in Ohio and am currently looking for work.
I’m still paying to places that say drug testing, but not places that specify thc testing.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s a legal state, and unless they have similar testing and employment rules for alcohol (which they wouldn’t be able to since it doesn’t show up two weeks later) then I should be able to smoke when I want, off the clock.
If they test and it prevents me from getting the job, I feel slightly satisfied I wasted their time and money. If they follow up and ask about it, I will tell them straight up it’s legal in this state and they’re only limiting their options by refusing to hire people who do a legal thing.
It’s probably just wasting my own time, but hey I’ve got time to waste.
I know for a fact I’m opinionated, and don’t have problems sharing them.
Please, by all means, block me if you think seeing my comments is adversely affecting you. I’d rather be ignored by someone than make their day worse (unless they’re actively trying to make others miserable, but that’s a separate discussion)
The fediverse has definitely gotten a little less hostile after blocking a few things.
And remember you can jump ship to another instance at any time! I’ve hopped a few times but for now my instance is filling my needs without much drama that I am aware of.

I use my cell data in my bedroom because it’s more stable than my router connection. I wish I had control of the router, but it’s not my house. I’d just move the router to a more centralized location instead of the farthest corner.
Back before I moved, I kept the router at one of the reduced power modes it had built in(can’t remember the exact settings) since the room it sat in was the best room for signal distribution, you still got full signal anywhere you went.
I’ve had more conversations than I can count with people I would never be able to talk to in person, all using our own native languages.
The original posts are in English, people comment in their native language, and I use a translator, then respond in my own language. Is the translator perfect? No! Neither is theirs.
With the way most translators I’ve used work, it’s easier for the non-native speaker to try translating, since the translator might try and use different words that entirely change the meaning, but likely list possible alternatives. A native e speaker will understand the alternatives while a non-native speaker probably won’t.
That’s my thought process anyway.
Never had anyone who wasn’t pearl-clutching or virtue-signaling complain about it. And I’ve had tons of conversations with people I’d never have talked to otherwise.
Nothing says “we are a free and open community that welcomes others” like moderators banning discussion of poor moderation.
Yes, I do understand what the rule is there for. No that doesn’t make it any less hilariously shitty.
Go punt kick the first fish back into the ocean as it tries to waddle it’s fat ass out of the water.
I know that’s not how evolution works but I can dream… Life would likely be vastly different given such a long period of time with something like that changing either way.
Her logic IS undeniable.
Every single part of this comment just screams “It just wouldn’t be proper!”
And I’m sorry, but I can’t seem to care about what’s “proper” when half my friends now have reasonable fear for their lives, not just “comfort of living” just because they are lgbtq+ living in deep red country.
The only celebrating I do is eating slightly more unhealthy, take the day off work unless it’s going to be a short day, and maybe look to see if any games in my “maybe if it’s on steep sale” list are on sale.
That’s it.
I don’t remind people, I dont expect anyone to remember, but it’s nice when they do.
My excuse for missing people’s birthdays is I DO know the date… I just don’t know what the date today is. Sure I know my sister was born on the 12th, but that doesn’t matter if I think today is the 10th and it’s actually the 15th…
So if I have that much problem, it wouldn’t be very chill to be upset with others for missing mine.
Forums were everywhere, and most websites from private entities looked like someone vomited gifs and word art everywhere. Backgrounds were the most insane of colors and oh my god I just now realized one of the sites I used to visit in the early 2000s was popular with trans people, the trans flag was all over the place and literally was the background
Also MySpace.
