Miles O'Brien

People talk about being there “for” someone. Here being there “with” him is more important.

When I’m depressed, having someone sitting on the couch in my living room scrolling on their phone is infinitely more meaningful to me than someone who is miles away and texting me a lot or offering to help with things. It’s probably part of my neurodivergence but having the person close in proximity while at least sort of paying attention to the room makes me feel less alone than having 10 people trying to check in on me all day.

A dozen wasps.

Level of aliveness is irrelevant.

“I promise I won’t get political”

two drinks later

“COME OUT YEH BLACK AN’ TAN”

Use 150mb to put a low quality version of Firefly that I used to have on a Nokia phone around 2007/2008, and the rest will be my collection of ebooks.

I’ve got more than 1gb of books, but I can trim down the file size by stripping formatting and saving as plain text, and there’s a few series I could go without reading for a long time.

Guillermo Del Toro, Roland Emmerich, Ishiro Honda, and Adam Wingard all team up (successfully) to make a Godzilla movie where he and Kong fight Zilla from the 1998 Godzilla movie and a hoard of sprogZillas

Or a horror movie set in the Warhammer 40k universe, directed by Paul W. S. Anderson and Ridley Scott. Possibly tyranids, but there are so many horror aspects to choose from…

Legit, my old job required a 90-day change, and I once logged into a system I could do monetary damage on with ease, because I took a guess at my manager’s password based on how long it had been since he told it to me during an emergency.

He did what every single person I spoke to did. “password 01” changed to “password 02” and I just tried twice, and sure enough he had changed it three times since he had told me.

While I wouldn’t be ruining the company as a whole, I could have easily fucked over the individual location because scheduled password changes just ensure people use predictable passwords.

“Okay, cool. Family knows when to drop a subject. Good luck!”

What’s the story, Wishbone?

Hey, I’ll have you know I only have one alt!

… Don’t tell Keiko, but it’s for porn.

I see no problem with blocking users for their belief that I should be slaughtered over the sin of checks comments being born in the USA.

And I see no problem blocking instances where they gather.

Hey that sounds like studying linguistics to me! ^{Pun mildly intended.}

That’s gotta be a bit of a gut punch though…

I’ve only ever met a few native Germans in person, and understand just enough to get to the bathroom, so I don’t know if I just misheard, or they’re one of the few people who do say it that way.

I’ll take any native German’s word on their own language though! Lol or even anyone who’s studied.

I’ve internally been saying “eesh eel”

… which now seems like calling it "me earl’

Cuba, the “dirty evil communist” country that only struggles because of a bullshit embargo placed on them by people who are dead and whose opinions are irrelevant to modern day?

The Cuba that churns out so many doctors, they basically have to leave the country to find work because they have so many doctors already?

The Cuba that, if I bothered to look at quality of life statistics would almost all point to “Cuba is a generally well run country but suffers because of trade bullshit”?

That Cuba?

Or you could try bringing up occupied Palestine “Israel”, I’m sure you’ll have your “gotcha” moment there!

Lmao calling me a liberal is an insult

Miles Obrien understands the importance of a union, and the importance of the people who actually make the wealth for the owning class.

Miles Obrien also understands that fascists should be stopped at all fronts, including your precious dictator states.

I’m sure you’ll use your spotlight to throw around more school yard insults about people’s intelligence or political leanings, or post gifs or emoji, but all you’ll get from me is pity.

My wife has issues involving texture and trauma specifically at the dentist office, so I usually accompany her to appointments. So far no office has had an issue.

One time though, she needed to have those spacers put in her teeth, and she told the dentist and hygienist that she would throw up if it was in too long, and that she WILL bite down if there’s sharp pain, so use slightly more local anesthetic than normal and wait a little longer for it to work well.

They rushed.

She bit.

The moment I heard the cry of pain and felt my wife squeezing my hand super hard, I already knew what happened without having to look around anything.

I just said “And that’s why we told you to wait longer. You were warned.”

They were Super chill about everything, all things considered. I know I’d be pissed if I got bit by someone while doing my job, even if that job was literally their teeth.

Ew gross.

This guy doesn’t have a shirt on!

Be pantsless like a normal person.

I had to try and roll down my sleeves after this.

I’m wearing short sleeves and no coat.

I can still feel the sleeves
