It’s impressive what you can accomplish when the people who oppose it/are in the way don’t matter in the slightest to the people in charge.

I’d love to see this level of expansion anywhere in the US, done properly and without targeting minorities and the poor like we do too often…

If I could ride a metro line to work and to the store, I’d be soooooo happy. No more daily driver for me! Except my bikes, of course. I’d be saving all that money for more bicycles.

No chief engineer has ever asked why my favorite transporter rooms require so much extra power.

Well… Not more than once, anyway…

Well, even Kim has a plate. All the bridge crew from VOY have one!

Kim: I literally saved the ship and everyone inside on multiple occasions, literally rewrote history, and I’m still an Ensign.

Paris:I haven’t gotten anyone seriously maimed or disobeyed huge important orders in awhile, so they promoted me.

You should see the things Riker gets up to in Quark’s holosuites.

I don’t think the universal translator will even allow me to tell you.

Nope, not me.

I’d like to think I’m funny though…

Well, I mean I DO technically have a YouTube channel that hasn’t posted since 2017 and only has a few battlefield 3/4 clips on it I wanted to show friends.

Which YouTube guy would I be?

Fun anecdote: a relative, without a hint of irony, goes on about how they deserve to be there because “they used to live there 2,000 years ago”

Apparently I’m an “asshole”, “woke” and “antisemitic” for bringing up native Americans…

My wife would be freaking out about two minutes after she realized I hadn’t come back inside, I wasn’t answering my phone, and I wasn’t in any of the usual places around the house.

Everyone else? Weeks.

I’m so glad the people around me who live nowhere near a field voted to kill field-to-solar projects around here, the factories and warehouses that went up where there used to be lovely views of the hills are much better. All that extra pollution and noise really adds something special to the day.

murder some transporter freak

Daily reminder that Janeway Did the Right Thing.

She absolutely killed Tuvix. But it was the right call at the time, being stranded 70 years from home.

I feel like the punishment when he keeps going with it after receiving no actual push-back should be getting stomped into paste.

If you fuck with something that large and you’re not dead, it’s because it chooses to let you live.

Listen here you little shit…

Definitely out-sluts Riker, I can’t see Riker hooking up with an insectoid.

… Okay find me another one.

Okay okay okay.

It’s a funny meme, but Picard had more game than Kirk and it’s not even close.

Kirk was a super nerd who did super nerd shit to beat a unbeatable test.

Picard got into bar fights with nausicans and threw down with klingons.

The only reason anyone thinks it’s the other way around is their first officer.

Spock was the super level headed logical voice of reason, and anyone looks like a bad ass hunk in comparison.

In contrast, Riker would bang anything with a pulse that was willing. Arguably anything femme enough, or at least masc-stereotype enough, that also wanted him, was open for The Riker Maneuver. And anything standing in his way either gets intimidated or beaten down.

I challenge anyone to find mea being that looks like a slutty hothead in comparison to Riker.

Just a thought experiment, how sink-proof are these things?

If someone were to build a homemade submarine with a drill, how many holes would one have to theoretically drill to make a yatch sink?

They’re going to come for FIFA’s club games, or they’re going to come for the World Cup, or they’re going to come for the Olympics, come and see sporting events

Nobody’s coming anymore, nobody wants to risk being thrown in a concentration camp because they aren’t white and rich and supporting Trump enough.

Getting ANYONE who isn’t already actively trying to reduce their own vehicle usage or doesn’t use primarily mass transit to pay attention to how much space has been given up for cars is like pulling teeth from a stone.

Even people who have never had a car seem to think cars are the only thing to use.

Getting anyone to even acknowledge the complete lack of travel infrastructure around my area is hard. There are few sidewalks outside the downtown area and a few surrounding residential areas. There are no sidewalks connecting downtown being 4 intersections.

There are two bike lanes that total about 1.5mi, marked on the shoulder of a street as an afterthought, and no penalties for parking in it.

Some of the roads around here don’t even have enough shoulder to allow two semi trucks to pass, let alone two cars and a bike.

I’m contemplating making a sign for my bike trailer that says “IF YOU ARE ANNOYED I’M HERE, TELL YOUR LOCAL COUNCIL TO BUILD A BIKE PATH”

I have started saying “bike path” instead of “bike lane” when talking to most people since they get offended at the mere thought of “losing a lane” to cyclists.

I’ve also thought about making a sign that says “rider is armed and carries a brick” since people literally throw things at me and some have even gotten out of their cars to scream at me.

Just for that, I’m going to NOT use my car when I was otherwise planning to.

I mean, I pretty much only drive now when my destination is too far to bike, but I’ve biked to other states before, I can do it again.

But the economy has never been stronger!

Of course it’s held together by billionaires in bunkers trading stocks in companies that no longer exist, and they only have their food storage remaining until they all die, but hey… The economy!

The future we are barreling towards:
