No, that’s a jpeg representation on your screen of a photo of a rock.
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.

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.
Armada and Armada 2.
I really like RTS games.
When someone informs him it’s named after a person he will demand that this domestic terrorist be brought in for impeachment and deported, not understanding why none of that makes sense
A few years ago I purged my face book profile with a script that edited every post with lorem ipsum, and then deleted the content.
It was embarrassing seeing posts from 10-15 years ago. Jesus christ I was an idiot. I still am, but I was then too. (thanks mitch)
In 2022 I did the same to my reddit account.
Same reaction.
Although it was interesting to see my comments go backwards from “burn the system to the ground” to “we need to make a compromise and reach across the aisle” and then from “all religions should be allowed to die” to “Yay Jesus”
Like I said, I was a big dum
Oh god I would hate to see my YouTube comment history from my first account…
I genuinely think this may have crossed his mind.
Hi, gender is a spectrum and while I fully identify as male and straight*, I had long hair as a child. If my school had tried to cut my hair by force, I would have absolutely thrown hands, and I was not a small child. Apparently I pushed a teacher into a wall as a first grader but I have no memory of doing so.
Hair is not “gender conforming” unless you’re the most vanilla, thinks-flour-is-spicy, “mayonnaise has too much flavor” basic bitch in the universe. If you really think hair has two genders “long and short” then you are just the saddest sack of shit.
Hair is whatever the fuck you want it to be. I decided I didn’t want long hair anymore, so I started getting it cut short. I even had it around 1/4in at one point just because of how easy it was to be done with. Now it’s long because before I got married, my now-wife said she liked when it was longer, so I’m growing it out again until we decide it’s long enough or I get tired of it again. If I wanted to shave most of it right now, I can do that. Nobody controls my hair but me, and nobody has any say in how I keep it, short of safety concerns. (protip: hair ties and a hair net when working with rotary tools, once you’ve seen a video you never want it to happen to you)
Get the fuck out of here with this weak ass bullshit policing children’s hair.
They won’t be happy until everyone is a straight white silent and obedient clone of each other.
*It’s a spectrum, sometimes I want to feel pretty so if you had to stick me in a hole I’d say I’m straight but I’m sure someone could make a convincing argument that I’m at least a little fluid.
“just doing my job” isn’t really relevant when your job is literally destroying democracy to assist a fascist neo-nazi regime
Yes, quitting “in protest” is an option, but why do that when you can just collect a paycheck and be a shitty as possible at your job until you get fired?
“oh sure thing boss I’ll get right on this deletion thing” 6 days of fucking around on the fediverse later, websites still unchanged “oh yeah I’m working on it, top priority!”
I get fear of retribution if they figure out you’re doing it on purpose to sabotage efforts but like… How many people are actually bothering?
I can’t imagine someone in the firing squad trying to say “I was just doing my job”, it’s not the same thing as the guy working in the lunchroom. The only difference in my opinion is the firing squad kills people and the guy at the computer kills information, democracy, morality, common sense etc…
You can’t say you were just doing your job when your job is “destroy this information”
Yes, it’s “just a small part” but even the Great Wall of China is made of smaller bricks/slabs. The whole can’t exist without the separate pieces.
I’m a little rambly, apologies. I hope I’ve made a coherent point.
Beware that Nvidia cards have driver issues, they’re fixable but if you do have an Nvidia card, I’d just use the built in graphics chip for trying out Linux at first.
Well, shit. Extra work for me. I knew I should have waited for the AMD series to be in stock…
I know just enough about Linux to know I should have been getting into it when I graduated over a decade ago.
I also know just enough to know it can do pretty much everything I need, as long as I’m willing to switch to a Linux alternative with similar capabilities.
However, I am Linux-dumb and deeply set into my windows, to the point where I’m not sure I have the technical savvy to switch.
From my understanding, Linux works very well, as long as you know what you’re doing.
I’m sure I’m overestimating the learning curve but it’s still intimidating.
People in these comments act like the computer will just stop working.
You first.
But seriously, it gets annoying, but at the same time it’s the biggest scam on the fediverse right now that I know of. So I feel like a little visibility once in awhile (not 6 times a day) that lets people know about it is fine.
To anyone who knows: is there a way to filter out usernames containing that name? Like if I could block dms from my chosen instance, that’d be great. I’ve been getting 2-3 a week.
Exactly what I was thinking.
When you’re cut off from any help, you ARE your own help. Don’t wait for something unthinkable to happen, this person has made it clear they don’t respect you or boundaries, and have made threats.
It’s 9v1, if you’re scared just wait until they’re asleep. Kick them out the door, lock it, and they can try walking their happy ass back to civilization. from Antarctica
Don’t bother looking for a body.
I think you hit the nail on the head with that “you just read the title” and now they’re mad for being called out.
Embarrassment can cause people to lash out in irrational ways.
Had that happen on Amazon and ebay multiple times
I always tell them I’ll only increase it one star and the reason for the change will be the first thing anyone sees in the review, even above the original review.
So far I’ve only had one taker.
Power move: come in and vomit on the boss’s desk, car, or their person.
“sorry, I was gonna go to the doctor but you know the rules”
Because mom would be sad and my dogs wouldn’t understand.
It’s the balcony bailout party overlooking the occupy Wallstreet tents, just slightly better at hiding the contempt.
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.
