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 live just outside a no-fly zone around an airport. Maybe a mile away, slightly under.

    I never take my drone above the trees unless I’m away from home because I’m paranoid about anything going wrong and my drone just taking off in one direction until it dies or hits something.

    I’d rather be extra cautious and be lightly mocked than cause the airport to shut down and have the alphabet boys knocking on/down my door.

    Especially since I live close enough to a military base that my drone could theoretically reach it in a flyaway, if winds are helping it along.

    Note: I have been lucky enough that in four years, I have never lost contact with my drone, but the paranoia remains.




  • My parents have between 1,000 and 3,000 books… Even they aren’t sure.

    Last time they were neatly arranged I was a child.

    Right now they have 3 floor-to-ceiling bookshelves stacked as densely as possible, 3 books deep, with as many stacked In and laying on top as can fit Ina rectangle 10ft tall, 4ft wide, and 18ish inches deep.

    Plus a handful of waist high shelves, multiple moving boxes filled up that haven’t been emptied since they moved in2017 and a ton scattered all over the house…

    They have more fantasy/Sci fi books than every library in a 50 mile radius combined.

    I still have less than 30 books to my name since most of mine are digital, but I’ve been going to half price books looking to get physical copies of everything.


  • They barely watch dvds anymore since they’re spending like 100/mo on various streaming subs.

    They’ve had a book in hand for as long as I can remember, nowadays it’s a Kindle but their disorganization has been present as long as I can remember, too.

    Last year I watched their dog while they were out of town, and I reorganized their dvd collection in alphabetical order, keeping the various series together.

    In less than 6 months it was essentially back to complete chaos. And in that time,according to them, they barely watched any dvds, they just looked through the shelves a bunch to figure out what they have.Why that requires them to pull movies out and out them back in a different spot, I’m not sure.


  • When I was a child, I once knocked every book off every shelf in the house.

    Because I had 6 books in alphabetical order on my little shelf in my room. My mother kept rearranging them in as close a rainbow distribution as possible… I asked her to stop many times, but ultimately decided if you’re going to mess up my shelf, I will mess up yours.

    Surprisingly this tactic worked, and they didn’t make me clean up the books by myself, they did most of it.

    Their idea of “organizing” the books is “well most of the books in that series are close to each other, but a bunch of other random ones are mixed in, and entire genres have been rearranged many times so who knows what books we even actually have”

    They have a similar way of organizing dvds. It’s infuriating.


  • Make every company that has a whistleblower die in ANY way face extremely heavy penalties including, but not limited to: 75% taxing on all income for a period of time as part of a fine, jail time for executives, board members, and potentially large shareholders, potential nationalization of the company, etc

    Make every company afraid to have a whistleblower die. Make them want to hire private security and pay for all health expenses to ensure the person lives because the alternative is the company ceases to exist in any way that benefits those in charge.
