Miles O'Brien

Unfortunately, plenty of other countries would take him in, but it would be nice if no country would let his ass in.

Like someone else said, it’s not their mess to handle. However, I personally don’t want other countries to deal with him in any way. We just kick him out and he can figure out what to do from there.

Going to school in Ohio, we never even learned “communism bad because once a bunch of people in a communist country starved”

We simply learned “communism bad” and that was that.

Never directly stated, of course, just constantly informed that the “governments of the world needed to stop its spread” and anything bad that boomers didn’t like was called “communism” so it basically just became synonymous with “bad”

Crazy how the capitalists in charge of things and who had a huge capitalist financial incentive to say " anything other than capitalism is bad" would do such a thing… Real “we’ve tried nothing to help you and we’re all out of ideas” energy.

On the one hand, I have about $1400 saved

On the other hand, I got fired yesterday…

So uh… Yay?

My parents have no savings at all and my mother got fired from her job 2 weeks ago, they’re both a few years from retirement age but definitely won’t be able to.

It’s been a fun year.

And the United States government, whose nuclear launch systems for decades had a default “0000000” password on systems so old they figured nobody would know how to hack them in person anymore, and they’re incompatible with the internet.

It’s disturbing to me that my high school hobby of fixing and operating old computers meant I could have launched nukes.

Last year most of the fields around me turned to slop as it was too wet for many weeks, and most fields couldn’t get equipment through the mud

While jailed and unable to pay bills, Lipps lost her home, her car and her dog, she said

Fuck suing, I’m going to prison for murder. I can live without the stuff, but if someone touches my dog they must not like living.

Dyshan Best, 39, was shot in the back last year as he fled from officers in Bridgeport, Connecticut. A report released Tuesday by the state’s inspector general found that the shooting was justified because Best had a gun in his hand and the officer pursuing him had reasons to fear for his own safety.

If I shoot a rich white man in the back who is running away from me and claim I “feared for my life” I’d probably get the death penalty.

Why do that and risk actually losing, when you can go after the small guy and send a message to the plebs?

If I had the means, I’d have left years ago.

Having already brought this point up with a MAGAt at work, she honestly thinks they will make exceptions for all married women.

The mental gymnastics and denial of reality is exhausting.

Even as a child, I was confused by “Support Our Troops” because if you want to support them, why are you sending them to die on the other side of the planet? If you want to support them, why are so many veterans being denied Healthcare?

My dad is a veteran with service related hearing loss, and getting anything from the VA is like trying to grab the sun. I’ve heard so many stories from vets trying to get their various injuries just looked at.

“support our troops” was always just a canned line to make idiots feel good about sending others to die for the rich.

“Herr Colonel and dozens of other commanders did say ze war was to exterminate ze jews and dominate ze world, but maybe it’s just zeir own personal feelings and surely not ze fuhrer’s intent”

I once went to a K-mart at around 2am because I wanted to buy a friend a copy of a video game we were staying up most of the night to play. We had been passing the controller back and forth every time we died or finished a mission, and he decided he wanted to buy the game but it would need to wait until payday. Nah, we gonna get you that copy NOW. Hooked his Xbox up to the spare TV and started the game with fresh characters.

No ragrets

That said, I only chose Kmart because they were the only place that sold video games that was open and under 30 minutes away…

That solar panel looks useful.

Since I have never gone out in nondescript black clothing at night to destroy these things, I can’t say from firsthand knowledge…

But yes, yes they are. They make great trickle chargers for large batteries that only get used intermittently. Or string several together and enjoy an ebike battery charger. I have a similarly sized and shaped panel I found somewhere that I use to charge my 18650 bank.

A couple flock cameras near my town keep getting taken out and put back up.

The latest blurry security camera footage to catch the culprit has led to sweet FA since they ride a nondescript dark color mountain bike, wear all black clothing without logos or text, and seem to avoid riding their bike unmasked near businesses with cameras and houses that might have door cameras.

I don’t even think they know gender/skin/hair color. Anything other than “average human height” really.

Anyway, shout out to everyone who destroys one of these things. It’s illegal, but it’s the morally correct thing to do.

I work in a place that deals primarily with aluminum extrusion and sheeting.

About a month ago one of the guys at lunch was saying something about how he doesn’t want his ex-wife to get his kids vaccinated because “all the aluminum and mercury is gonna make them r*****d”

I told him to take a closer look at his tuna sandwich because he definitely has shed aluminum dust onto his food unless he takes his jacket off and shakes his hair out, and he should probably wear a mask because that faint glitter in the air isn’t fairy dust. Also look up mercury content in tuna.

The HR guy came out because apparently I “called a coworker a slur for autistic people” when he connected the dots that “if I believe those things make one autistic then they must be calling me autistic since I inhale and ingest aluminum all day at work and mercury is in my food” and felt that I was insulting him by informing him of the things he should already know.

(apologies if this was a little incoherent, I just woke up)

As long as you behave yourselves like good citizens and don’t say true things about the party that make them look bad, of course you can return!

I really don’t like ice. It’s cold, slippery and wet.

And it gets everywhere.

Just like the shitty US fascist police…

Must’ve been the wind.

Even if I did, too late you greedy bigots.
