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.

  • That’s literally what it feels like: being stuck in an objective (the planet) and you have a teammate that’s SUPER gung ho about the fact he’s got a bomb vest (nukes) on that will go off if he dies, and you’re just praying he doesn’t catch a stray round (attack) while shooting at people from the doorway (doing proxy war things or just straight up committing/supporting genocide/ethnic cleansing/war of extermination/etc) or lose connection (leadership going insane).

    If any of those things happen, you know you’re all toast. And it’s all mostly outside of your control.

    I hate to use video games as a metaphor for literal nuclear war and sorry for spelling it out like I’m talking to a child but I felt it was needed for clarity.

    We’re all on the planet together, and no one will ever be able to force everyone into submission, the more we fight the shorter time we have as a species.



  • Yeah, but this way you get to make sure your intended target actually gets hit instead of assuming the following nuclear wastwland would destroy your target like everything else.

    It’s like the Martyrdom perk in fps games. You die and drop a grenade or c4 pack or something and explode, hopefully taking out the person who killed you.

    It’s just a dead-man switch to get the AD part of MAD.

    Effective? Maybe.

    Incredibly stupid? Yes.

    Is that stopping the US and Russia from doing it? Lolno we invented this dumb shit.

    The world is run by insane people who would rather see the planet scorched into a lifeless rock than admit their way of doing things might be wrong.










  • They get to send strongly worded letters to formally request that other nations possibly consider the contents of.

    Or possibly maybe at some point in the future face slight financial consequences.

    They’re protesters with guns that refuse to use the guns to actually help people unless it’s inside the extremely narrow scope of their rules.

    When you’re dealing with a person that refuses to listen to anyone around them, holding an intervention is useless. Discussing the problems don’t help unless the person doing something wrong is willing to listen to the people they hate.
