My condolences to your digestive tract…

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.

You can’t separate the art from the artist, but I can damn well ensure that none of my money goes to them.

“what about all the sink pissing Larry has done?” is literally whataboutism.

So basically trying to please the shitbags never really stopped, it just had a brief couple years of being put on pause.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?English4·2 days agoThat’s fair.
I mean, the reason I have a picture should be obvious, I’m literally going for visibility with a name like this…
But 9/10 times it’s a generic name with a default or no picture.
Well, if studies on microplastics are any indication, they DO carry your trash.
Just indirectly.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Lord of the memes@midwest.social•keep arda cleanEnglish13·2 days agoI once had a granola wrapper blow away in the wind, and I felt so bad I started looking for trash on my way out.
Then I realized I could be doing that every time and I started bringing shopping bags with me on hikes and grabbing any trash I see until the bag is full or I leave.
It’s made me realize something.
Even the people who hike several miles into deer paths, the kind you would expect to be the less than casual group and therefore should know better, are fucking disgusting.
Humans are gross and it’s nothing new, we know the most about ancient cultures that left a lot of garbage.

Unfortunately that doesn’t look as cool as a roman chariot with some spears, IMO.

Why visit a place where you might get kidnapped by government sanctioned brute squads and sent to a death camp in another country?
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Andor Has a Message for the Left: Act NowEnglish11·7 days agoI’ve lost my sea legs, unfortunately. It’s been about a decade since I set sail and at this point I’m paranoid about any online interactions.
I wouldn’t even know where to start with VPNs.
Is this what getting old feels like? Can I go back to limewire?
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Andor Has a Message for the Left: Act NowEnglish15·7 days agoI ended up finally giving it a shot last month, and I recall having seen stuff about season 2.
I finished season 1 in 2 days, and then found out season 2 hadn’t quite come out yet.
Then I did what I always do and waited for all the episodes to come out… I got halfway through season 2 before my last month I’m paying for streaming services ran out.
So now I will indefinitely be halfway through season 2.
I should have started season 2 the day the last episode was released.

Unfortunately, due to different showrunners, there are a couple.
Like how Tony didn’t figure out hydra was infiltrating SHIELD when he hacked everything in Avengers 1. Probably should have figured that out.
And I know people like to say there are too many hydra people for them to not be well-known or easier to discover, but personally I don’t take issue with that.
If hydra has infiltrated key personnel, they can move whoever they want. I’d say they concentrated their forces at headquarters and on the carriers, since that was part of their big master plan. So of course there will be a lot of bags guys in the main areas and in the carriers, and it’s a testament to how few there really were that they failed. And they had sizeable resistance from non-compromised personnel.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto memes@lemmy.world•That's punching below the beltEnglish4·10 days agoI’ve managed to get two first round interviews, and I’m a “perfect candidate” for one and have been invited to a second interview. They dropped a surprise drug test that wasn’t mentioned at any point before, and while they won’t find any hard drugs, THC is legal in my state. So if I get past the second interview, I have to just hope they don’t care about thc.
At least if they do, I’ll have wasted their time as much as mine, and more importantly, their money on the tests.

I wasn’t going to be paying full price for a game anyway, but now I’m not paying for gearbox games ever again.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you interview somewhere that you expect would not hire you because of recreational drug use?English12·12 days agoI live in Ohio and am currently looking for work.
I’m still paying to places that say drug testing, but not places that specify thc testing.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s a legal state, and unless they have similar testing and employment rules for alcohol (which they wouldn’t be able to since it doesn’t show up two weeks later) then I should be able to smoke when I want, off the clock.
If they test and it prevents me from getting the job, I feel slightly satisfied I wasted their time and money. If they follow up and ask about it, I will tell them straight up it’s legal in this state and they’re only limiting their options by refusing to hire people who do a legal thing.
It’s probably just wasting my own time, but hey I’ve got time to waste.
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
