Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•XC Running: Does anyone else's parents do this?English40·2 days agoSounds like my wife’s mother.
She’s a super narcissist and has some sort of desire to knock everyone else down when she feels like she’s not getting enough attention.
You deserved better from your parents.
linguists
Those damn linguists, always so cunning in their ways.
Look,
unless you want to spend some time in the pattern buffer, don’t complain.it’ll be sorted out soon.
Look, if I can’t be a big tiddy goth babe who plays video games, then that’s the next best thing
Luckily my wife is a little goth, plays a couple video games, she’s a babe, and I love every part of her. And for some reason she likes me, so I guess I got the best thing anyway.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Mother of boy, 15, held at gunpoint by US immigration agents files $1m claimEnglish4·3 days agoYeah it was meant as “the US has been doing bad things to non-white people but now that it’s so open and bad, the other majority white countries can’t just turn a blind eye like they do when we bomb the middle east”
Well, now that things are cleared up, have a pleasant day! 😊
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Mother of boy, 15, held at gunpoint by US immigration agents files $1m claimEnglish3·3 days agoI didn’t realize so many white people were being deported, arrested, or sent to concentration camps.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Mother of boy, 15, held at gunpoint by US immigration agents files $1m claimEnglish5·3 days agoCan confirm, shipmate. My Swear Bible is sitting in my coffee table right now.
Can you imagine trying to get through a med-cruise without it?
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Mother of boy, 15, held at gunpoint by US immigration agents files $1m claimEnglish2·3 days agoSure, but now it’s not really arguable for the “white countries”.
It’s a lot harder for Canada to turn and look away than it was 20 years ago.

Me, staring at my alarm about to go off in 5 minutes after tossing and turning for an hour: “this is the single most comfortable spot in the universe and I am so sleepy now”
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websitetoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Protests don't block trafficEnglish23·7 days agomakes me think yo are the ttpe of perso who always says “Don’t protest like that!”.
That’s because that’s exactly what they just did.

Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Air Canada union says flight attendants will continue strike, defy governmentEnglish24·16 days agoIf my employer tried to tell me I’m only getting paid when I’m actively using the equipment instead of the whole time I setting up and transferring materials, I’d have to get in line to set the place on fire
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Air Canada union says flight attendants will continue strike, defy governmentEnglish37·16 days agoIf the government declares a strike illegal, or tries to in any way compel the employees to return to work, they are explicitly telling the workers that they are nothing more than indentured servants, barely more than slaves. You exist to make these people money, now sit down and shut up before we throw you in prison for upsetting your betters.

Oh, the reason you aren’t stable enough? Not the issue, next question. Oh, the countries that aren’t democratic that we recognize? Not the issue. Stop asking terrorist questions.”
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Elon Musk travels with as many as 20 bodyguardsEnglish14·16 days agoThey said “stupid”, not “evil”
Although I’d argue that any billionaire not actively dumping the bulk of their wealth and influence to sort out world hunger, homelessness, and inequality is being evil.
You can either join me in sitting around a small fire and discussing rc stuff, star trek, guns, and how functionally unregulated capitalism is destroying the planet, or you can keep moving.
I hope you’ll join me, I’m making breakfast. Eggs, potatoes, bacon, biscuits, and pancakes if you’re okay with some mildly overcooked spots.
