Sisko, seconds before leaving the runabout: “Computer, send a message to Captain Picard on the Enterprise. We good.” exits quickly because he’s got an appointment with Ducat to reenact the gollum-frodo fight
“Oh X needs to be at Y today so the person who usually takes them to daycare is unavailable, can you take them?”
And then you’re on autopilot, going to work like you do every day. Your body can be trained to do certain things automatically, with basically no mental input on your side. You never take the kid to daycare because your schedule. Then the ONE DAY that your routine changes… It’s one of the most important things you need to keep in mind.
Ever pulled your car into a spot and thought to yourself “wait I don’t remember stopping at any lights HOLY SHIT DID I JUST RUN EVERY RED” but the truth is, no. You did not. Either they are so routine to stop at that you don’t notice on autopilot, or there WERE no reds. You are not a bad or negligent driver. You were on autopilot.
Hey look, more of a r*publican using the word “coup” incorrectly in order to muddy it’s meaning and get the plebs to think saying “(person) did a coup” is completely normal and not at all the show-stopper and career killer it absolutely should be.
Honestly I can’t think of a time she wore a uniform color “tight” outfit. It might just have been for promotional material, or during a special episode because the only times I know she wore uniform colors was after Jellico ordered her into a uniform.
I honestly believe Texas wouldn’t last more than a few years without begging for someone, anyone to help them.
They aren’t a self-sufficient state, no matter how much they pretend to be. They need a massive influx of goods that would all immediately halt or be indefinitely postponed (and massively marked up) if they broke off.
The real question is whether the treasonous MAGAt politicians who run the state would make a deal with Russia for assistance.
Holy fucking shit this country is in a downward spiral and the only cure is to cut out the MAGAt tumors.
In what other country could the headlines say “CONVICTED FELON calls the justice system rigged, so the law enforcement branch has decided to let their cult of outspokenly bigoted, dangerously violent, sprinkled with domestic terrorist in-group do whatever they want while destroying things in order to try and keep them from destroying things”
I remember reading some headlines from about 80 years ago with similar headlines, only it was from Germany. Can’t punish them TOO much or they might take over the country and start exterminating… Oh… Wait… That is exactly what happened.
They’re literally showing a group favoritism to avoid seeming like they’re playing favorites.
This is no different than the school bully screaming about how unfair the teachers are after they were punished for hitting another student. Except now the teachers started saying “well if we keep punishing him then he will go hit someone” as if that in any way shape or form is a logical conclusion.
Fuck the system. If it doesn’t work for the betterment of society then there isn’t a reason to abide by it.
I would scale a 3 floor building by climbing down balconies before I call maintainence to let me out. Or toss some rope out the window and climb down I guess.
But I think I would even try taking the entire handle off before calling maintenance. Or even straight up texting a family member and waiting a few hours.
My wife, on the other hand, is the “I tried to wiggle it lightly a few times so now I am giving up”. Installed a new light last week, and it takes a split second to actually turn on. In the literal 600-800ms it takes to charge up, she flipped the switch 3 or 4 times, and loudly yelled about how the piece of shit we bought doesn’t work. I simply went over and flipped the switch up and left it there to actually power up.
It IS a ceasefire. As in Hamas (“anyone we decide to call hamas whether it’s an actual rebel/terrorist/whatever or someone defending themselves from IDF thugs trying to kill/SA them or a random kid we saw walking down the street and someone’s finger got itchy”) has to ceasefire.
Why on earth should the IDF, paragon of virtue and goodness, an organization that has never in its history been accused or caught red-handed doing war crimes or Geneva convention violations, be forced to stop murdering innocents “defending themselves” just because the entire world wants them to stop, and because it’s the right thing to do…
Next you’ll be insisting they treat Palestinians like people! And helping rebuild the countryside they’ve devastated constructively disassembled and revitalizing the people they have brutalized liberated.
SMH my head
If I need the /s with that much sarcasm dripping off every letter then the world has truly gone to shit.
How soon before people start getting offers to buy their lemmy accounts?
Once I hit 100k karma on reddit, I started getting clearly automated messages from brand new accounts offering to purchase my account for anywhere from a $25 roblox gift card to several hundred dollars.
And while I sure could have used that money, I used my old username on almost everything and wasn’t about to turn my username into a shill for a company.
Idk what the going rate is nowadays but 100k karma, started around my account being 6ish years old, filled with thousands of comments and dozens of posts stretching back to 2010/2011. That is how you properly troll.
Truth is denied those who seek it with both eyes closed.
