Miles O'Brien

Something tells me that unlike every other role where he makes people jump through hoops every game regardless of how many decades they’ve voiced the same character, he did not make Hideo Kojima audition for the voice.

I’m not bitter or anything, why do you ask?

In theory, I agree. Nuclear weaponry should never exist. The power to erase millions of people with a single push of a button is absolute insanity.

In practice, the world isn’t going to suddenly decide to de-arm itself and dismantle every nuke. So if they aren’t giving up theirs, refusing to make my own over that just leaves me another corpse on the moral high road.

Sometimes I wonder if the world would be a better place had the Manhattan project been sabotaged by the scientists and nuclear weapons were deemed unfeasible. I’d like to think so.

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.

“Stop saying you have it good. Hundreds of people all over the world go to sleep every night deciding which country they should exploit for billions next, they have it SO MUCH BETTER than you, and to say you’re happy while others have THAT to deal with is just wrong.”

Sounds kinds stupid when you flip it around. Wonder why…

A dozen wasps.

Level of aliveness is irrelevant.

I’ll/we’ll be in my/our bunk.

Smh my head, it’s so obvious now!

Construction companies hate this one weird trick for quick jobs!

Well my days of not taking lemmy comments seriously are certainly coming to a middle

Damn, crazy how they had so many lined up like that and perfectly timed the demolitions for this shot.

That must have taken at least five full minutes of preparation!

Guy with glasses here, no problem reading any of it.

Perhaps it’s time to schedule an optometry appointment?

Either way, rude and unnecessary. You do your username a disservice. Not shiny at all. When Mal is rude, it’s deserved.

Goddamn cardies…

The only time I’ve ever said fuck in front of my mother was when she cut across 3 lanes of traffic to get to the exit, and ended up getting stuck in the zebra divider until there was a big gap in traffic.

When she slammed on the brake and jerked the wheel, upon realizing she wanted to make the exit I just yelled “What that FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?”

Surprisingly even though I was still in high school, she never mentioned it. Either she realized she fucked up and let it slide or she didn’t hear me over the honking of cars, a semi, and the yelling of my dad and sister.

There is a level of professionalism you should have when you work at some places, but personally I think a little crass celebration should definitely be allowed.

That said, whether she knew who he was or not, her actual response wasn’t necessary.

Some people should really meet my transporter pattern buffer…

I was today years old when I realized that she was talking to Homer Hickam, and I’ve seen the movie October Sky more times than I can count.

One of my wife’s friends gets really upset when people call it Twitter for some reason. She doesn’t even use it. Just gets irate and reminds everyone the name was changed so if you want people to know what you’re talking about you should call it X.

Strange hill to choose…

I officially have no idea what’s going on…

Am I out of touch?.. No, it’s the young who are wrong!

I’m fully aware of what I can do to stop it.

But then other people wouldn’t get to gear the wonderful clanging sound!

And they need to know!

So stop it I shan’t.

Who’s on first?

You heard it right here, folks.

No discussion of any specific country or region, because this is apparently not a place to ask questions.
