Miles O'Brien

You’re splitting hairs.

I can go to my individual comments and check the scores, but I like that I can’t see any cumulative score. I’m a sucker for “number go up” games.

Lemmy isn’t a competition.

Yaaaaas queen. 🔫👸💅

Had me in the third quarter, not gonna lie.

“other people have it better, so stop being so happy!”

See how that sounds when you flip the sadness around?

Just because someone else’s situation might be objectively worse than yours, does not for a second discount the situation you are in.

If my wrist breaks, I still have a broken wrist no matter how many people got their arms cut off.

Don’t feel guilty.

It’s a centuries old tradition.

Oof, you must have gotten a shipment of Ferengi pencils, they can be a little… “Eccentric”

I was gonna ask “And just how long is this pork, exactly?”

$23.19

I’ve been told I need to redo paperwork because I marked the date like 12APR2025.

I get standardization for computers, but for something a person is going to look at I feel like it’s very direct, needs no explanation or interpretation. Anyone who sees it should be able to figure it out instantly.

Don’t judge until you try some ghost dick for yourself.

It’s very much the “you’re locked in here with me” moment.

It’s been a bit concerning seeing all the people just giddy with the prospect of millions of people dying from internal issues, either idiotically not understanding or simply being too naive, that when an animal dies, it doesn’t go quietly. Especially not when it senses the cause of its death is near.

And I believe enough people will view the rest of the world as the cause, I genuinely think if it came down to losing control permanently or causing the literal end of the world by launching as many nuclear and conventional strikes as possible before death takes them.

Personally, I don’t relish the downfall of any major country, and despite other countries issues I’d rather see them overthrow their tyrannical governments than grab popcorn and cheer as they crumble to civil wars and starvation. That just seems a bit too close to being “arch villain from a cartoon” for my taste.

I’d really like to see the Cure For Fascism being used here in my own country, but unfortunately “be the change you want to see in the world” just leaves a dead crazed lone gunman in the street. Organization will be needed.

Damn, I’ve heard jokes about quebecios being snobby with their French but that seems excessive.

Which makes it all the more hilarious that the French people I know have joked about Quebec speaking “garbage French”

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.

Well, I know what other video I’m never watching.

And people wonder why I don’t like being around any vehicle that carries things…

I paid 1k for my shitty pickup in 2018, it’s in worse condition than when I got it, and about 100,000 more miles on it.

It’s supposedly worth 3500 now. It needs about $300 worth in parts alone to get it into what I would consider a condition worth buying.

I don’t understand.

If it’s what I’m thinking of, camera footage of a vehicle interior.

Driving down the highway, going under an overpass when a brick gets tossed by some kids and goes through the window.

Passenger hit, husband is driving and screams.

You know that scream they mention in The Princess Bride? That “only someone experiencing ultimate suffering” can make?

If you know, you know.

Well, when the people in charge make abiding by laws means you sit quietly waiting to die, protesting is illegal, dissent is illegal, and even having a negative opinion of them is grounds for being mentally unfit, well there’s not much you can do inside the confines of their laws.

Laws are not inherently moral or just. They will have to be broken, and by many MANY people. As my dad used to say " ‘you can have my guns when you pry them from my cold dead hands’ just leaves you a crazy lone gunman dead in the street" he was just making fun of movies when he said it, but to me it’s a call to organize.

The pearl clutching of many non-north American people is becoming nearly comedic.

It’s always been “you shouldn’t lump everyone on that label as the same because they aren’t” up to now, so it sure is “confusing” as to why suddenly all Americans bad.
