Miles O'Brien

If the state decides to ignore any kind of court telling them otherwise, then I would imagine Florida would no longer have flyovers from any airline, and any aircraft capable of producing a contrail or wingtip vortex would no longer operate in the state.

Goodbye florida airports, I guess.

I grew up around where he was born.

I may not be related by blood but it certainly rubbed off on me.

I feel the need for some good old fashioned southern BBQ.

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.

They like complaining and “being right” is more important to them than being helpful. Whether they are right or not is immaterial to the facts. Whatever the issue is they just need to be seen being right about it.

Incidentally that’s a common trait among narcissists.

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.

In fact, I’d wager that they accomplish the opposite of what they claim. How many people see their reaction to mods, and decide “nah I’m not buying anything from them”

I know I do that. I’m sure others do too. So now rather than buying the game to mod, I’m avoiding anything from the company for quite some time.

Hey, so all the people who told me they need their guns “to fight tyranny”… They’re gearing up, right?

That’s how I’ve been pronouncing it in my head when I read it.

I still say “Twitter” though because that and the gulf of Mexico are the only things I feel are okay to deadname.

“yeah this thread is discussing how the American people are actively burning teslas and dealerships and all that but ameriturds totally won’t do anything”

I’m watching news every day about how the Turd Reich is cracking down on anything that opposes them, but yeah the people totally aren’t doing a thing.

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.

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.

This is not “I am an American and you should let me in” it’s very much “I’m fleeing my country for political persecution please allow refugees in from this shit hole country”

Good to know nationalism, inhumane conditions, and good old fashioned concentration camps are acceptable as long as it’s “hurting the right people”!

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.

Living in an echo chamber can make one pretty deaf to life’s real problems.

I tried being a moderator on a forum once, and after alerting admins and the FBI about csam less than a week in, I decided I was done being a moderator.

It was a forum for RC stuff, mostly diy rc planes.

Unfortunately, therapy only helps you cope, it doesn’t let you forget.

Even IF we are ALLOWED to vote next year and beyond, and IF we manage to pull our heads out of our asses, we will be fixing this mistake for decades.

And if we aren’t allowed to vote… Well, I hope we remember the cure for fascism soon. Actually strike that, it implies I’m willing to wait 1-3 years to find out, I want the people to remember the cure now.

I can only imagine what bullshit I’m going to hear over the next few years about why the US isn’t doing well but the EU and Canada are.
