Miles O'Brien

I’ve gotten “I don’t care” as a response too many times when I present facts and studies.

Education and understanding means fuckall when the person has no interest in understanding, especially when their entire worldview depends on them not understanding.

See, personally I assumed that’s why it was in the “unethical” life pro tips, but the ethicallity of cutting off vulnerable minds to fascist propaganda rounds it up to “ethical”, in my opinion.

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.

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.

No, that’s a jpeg representation on your screen of a photo of a rock.

If the punishment for doing nothing is death, the punishment for speaking up is death, and the punishment for acting out is death… Well what’s stopping the masses from breaking out the guillotines?

Oh right, tons of us are still under the illusion of some kind of social contract being honored by all parties, and are so afraid of losing what little scraps they have they don’t want to stick their heads up after seeing so many get beaten down.

I want Star Trek, not Mad Max or Water World.

But like… Skip ww3 and the eugenics stuff… And the romulan and klingon wars…

The utopian future where energy is renewable and replicators make SCARCITY the only thing that’s scarce.

burn the system down

My takeaway at least.

I still have my 2005-2008 era Sony Vaiao in the garage at my parents house. If it booted up, I’d probably still have limewire running.

I need to wear a knee brace or use a cane, and I’m not even exaggerating.

Planes? Course not.

Maybe Julian, he’s always dragging me to the holodeck for some world War 1 and 2 dogfights over Europe.

Don’t look at my starship homework folder…

Hey now, I just said anthro planes, YOU brought porn into it.

The indomitable human spirit.

Also known as “the ability to exist out of pure spite, because FUCK YOU I ain’t collapsing over THIS bullshit.”

hider to wear all black clothing and be small.

Now I’m imagining a chibi style anthropomorphic plane wearing all black clothes trying to be sneaky.

You did this to me.

Oh well the answer is obvious, as Ellen Mosque once said, no plane is actually a stealth plane because cameras can still see them, so canards obviously don’t make a difference!

I came here for certified noncredibility, not verifiable facts.

It’s not owned by me, but it’s tended by me for now. I also am tending to my parents yard this summer, and trying to transplant clover around their yard. Sofar the patches are still green but it’s not quite growing time yet to see how well it’ll take hold.

I don’t understand why everyone in the aviation community seems to hate canards and atthis point in too afraid to ask why…

No I am Unidan Gallowboob!

My parents outsource their Lawncare to me, and I have been taking the huge patch of clover near a corn field and transplanting it around their yard. Just cutting a shovel ful of dirt out and swapping them, and watering the area.

No idea if it’ll work the way I want it to, but I guess I’ll see if it spreads this summer.

I’d love to go to my in-laws and use a big seed spreader to throw clover and other native plants around, but that would just lead to them killing it all and hiring a lawn company to replant Kentucky bluegrass or something lame like that.

I keep telling people to let clover grow, and half the stuff that’s supposedly bad for their lawn is actually good for a healthy patch of dirt but someone invented a problem so they could sell the solution.

I’ve actually had landscaping people knock on my door and explain that half my lawn is weeds and they can take care of it for me on a 6 month contract or whatever bs…

Like Bruh my lawn is carefully cultivated to grow all natural native plants, specifically with the intent of boosting local insect and pollinator activity, there’s a reason this half-are is the only place you see butterflies.

I’m not about to let some punk in headphones and a “Lastname Lawncare” t-shirt flatten all of this to 1/2in of plain green uniform grass. That’s boring as shit. And bad for the environment. And boring. as. shit.

Didn’t we have security leaks during his first term too?

Dude straight up stole classified documents, “LOST” (sold) a bunch while foreign nationals were occupying nearby rooms, then lied about it, then tried to hide it, then lied about trying to hide it. Then tried to hand wave it all by saying he prayed declared thought about them being declassified and therefore perfectly legal to do the things he didn’t do.

To name a single instance.
