you can only do that so many times before you run out of money, materials, water, or places to build

That’s someone else’s problem. Hopefully someone after they’re dead, but as long as they have their golden parachute, who cares?

I read them, UN.

So there’s at least one more!

I worked as a bike tech for a sporting goods store and replaced most of the store tools with my own. The ones they had were all the cheapest crap from ebay or Amazon or something. One of the wrenches snapped on the first group of bikes we built when the store opened.

A nice tool that feels good in the hand will pay for itself with the comfort it provides.

I had to threaten to sue them because when they fired a bunch of us and barred us from the store, they tried to say those tools belong to them even after sending them the receipts for everything. And informing them where the box of original tools went. And having to call someone still in the store to bring me out the most expensive tool there and they had the audacity to tell me that me taking it would make their jobs harder because there was no replacement for it and if I could just be reasonable they’ll have a replacement in a month so I can come back then.

Evolution.

It knows what it is, and nobody in it is under some illusion that they’re making some masterpiece of cinema. That is not at all a criticism or even backhanded compliment. I like when the actors have fun with the things they’re working on. I mean, who doesn’t love seen behind the scenes of Ian Mckellen slapping a dummy of Sean Aston around.

It’s fun, it’s ridiculous, and it leans into it a bit.

Plus they came up with the Thanos Weakness a long time before the avengers fans.

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.

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.

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.

That’s actually a common misconception.

It’s not because Japanese ninjas are bad at being ninjas, it’s just that other countries ninjas are completely invisible to the naked eye.

Obviously we all know we can see our own country’s ninjas, but other countries are invisible.

Thanks to years of cultural import/export, most humans can naturally see Japanese ninjas.

So congrats, if you can see a Japanese ninja, you’re actually just close to being a weeb.

The future we are barreling towards:

Shhhhhhhh. No worries now.

Only dreams.

If you ask dumb questions, you’ll get dumb answers.

In five years, I’ll still be fixing someone else’s problem. Maybe yours, maybe somewhere in the delta quadrant. Who knows.

^{I swear I’m going to put all of you in the pattern buffer…}

I wouldn’t know.

I’ve never used them.

I’ve never even seen them.

Sorry about that sensor glitch, I’ll get right on repairs.

I’ve got to figure out how they keep slipping past the isolation matrix…

And I didn’t have any idea what to do, but I knew I needed a click, so we put a click on the 24-track

Which then was then synced to the Moog Modular

I knew that could be a sound of the future, but I didn’t realize how much the impact it would be

My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio
