Miles O'Brien

I saw no pedantry, only interesting information.

WOAH there, slow down a bit.

He would never go to some backwoods country and tell them how to live their lives.

He will send OTHER people, no point in getting his shoes dirty by actually going there.

It’s an American tradition.

Honestly I find Russian general’s belief in a 3 day offensive more credible than that.

Nearly 1000 days later, even.

I legitimately think he will die before ever seeing consequences.

The people in charge are too fucking scared to actually punish him because TERRORISM WORKS

They just straight up don’t want to punish people because they’re afraid some MAGAts might get mad and start continue to shoot things up.

They tried to murder members of congress and the vice president once, and nobody involved has recieved a punishment fitting of the crime. Certainly not the punishment we were taught happens when we were in school.

Also how many are repeat callers.

“Hey Bert, Old Man Jenkins called in another Santa Clause, do you have eyes on a plane around the airport?”

“Sure do, Tina. Small single engine is making it’s approach now.”

“okay thanks. I’ll give you another ring when he calls in for the 243rd time this year…”

Back when I was a teenager in church, some of the local cops would be talking shit about the “crazies” they would arrest, and apparently one guy would call in about UFOs every time the nearest air force base used the training airspace that was overhead. Multiple times a week, and I guess never listened that it wasn’t aliens.

“Yay, I get to legally murder someone today! This’ll shut up my hippy liberal relatives” -Metz, shortly before pulling up to the teen’s car

And since this is the world we live in, most people proceed with that understanding.

This was not the case in 2007.

You go right ahead and ignore the lever, I’m sure all the people on both sets of tracks understand you not wanting to get involved since it doesn’t benefit you to pull it.

That could come later.

For now it just means reassigned to a desk somewhere not too far from MPs.

in matters of taste

Oh my god I just felt my chest release slightly with a tension I didn’t even know was there.

I never hear the full sentence, people always just cut it off 5 words in for some reason…

That’s unfortunate.

I do enjoy builders and management games, so I was hoping it had improved.

I’ve got my fingers crossed that they pull a No Man’s Sky and actually strive to make a playable game, but the longer it takes, the less likely it seems.

That could mean that the already content players are still happy with their game, and the vocal haters don’t have enough to hate on that doesn’t sound petty.

I say that as someone who has not played CS2 and plays 1 heavily modded… So the fuck do I know

They’re getting there, but so far it’s only a few users that I’ve noticed.

One guy seems to be following me around to attempt mockery.

They’re very much getting to “everyone who isn’t farther left than me is a right-wing nazi” mentality.

It’s okay, you can swear here, I won’t tell mom.

glances around ^fuck

Same energy as Quinten Tarantino refusing to answer some questions about violence in media or using the N word in movies.

It’s been asked a thousand times, you have nothing new to add to this discussion, we’re moving on.

Hey look.

It’s my shocked face.

Can you tell I’m shocked?

I’m going for “shocked”.

😐

You could also just replace all that with "It’s a load of bullshit that data hoarding companies managed to convince EU lawmakers was a thing in order to legally hoard data they can’t otherwise legally hoard.

Look, the temporal prime directive means I shouldn’t even be talking to you.

But if I had my ship you bet your arse.

To summarize the comment you are replying to:

“astronauts dying is a price Boeing is willing to pay”

“now pay the executives their bonus because, as executives, they are better than you. They also built this country by themselves with their bare hands, without help”

It’s extremely facetious, and pointing out that Boeing doesn’t give a shit about safety or the people in space, they just want money.

If you’re upset that lemmy isn’t trying to solve this problem… Well then I can’t help you there. This isn’t a place to investigate solutions to global problems or company management issues.

If you want to have one, by all means go make one yourself! unless you turn the speed dial to Plaid, it literally can’t be worse than the shitty job the companies are currently doing.

You know that “men only want one thing and it’s fucking disgusting” meme?

For me it’s an electric Toyota Hilux. And not a new one, unless it’s one of the originals that’s been sealed away for decades.
