"So wait, I'm confused... Who are the good guys in this universe?"

"That's the neat part! There are none!"

.... In the MIDDLE of my BACKSWING???

You should come down to transporter room 3, the pattern buffer has something you'd find interesting....

I felt something die inside me when I realized "display settings" was going way too far into technical territory for most people.

All I was trying to do is tell someone why their screen shuts off "so quickly" after two minutes.

I had to send them step by step pictures with big red circles.

And this was someone I had thought to be intelligent enough to figure something out, and tech-minded enough to know what I was talking about. Turns out they just like buying whatever fancy new gadgets they see in commercials.

For an extra $1,000 I'll make you one that goes to 12

If it weren't so sad, it would be almost funny.

So many people are waking up to the fact that... Most people are functionally illiterate children with no understanding of the world they live in.

The easiest way I have to explain it:

You use your phone every day. You know how to use it, menus in and out, all the different programs and their uses. But if I were to pop open the cover and take one single piece out, you would never know, and you would never be able to use it again. Without someone else, you have absolutely no clue how to go about fixing it. You can push it's buttons all day, but when it comes down to how it functions at the basic levels, you are clueless.

So am I, by the way. I don't have any reason to know how to build or program a phone. Or computer. I can push their buttons all day though! Even hidden buttons. But if everyone else on the planet disappeared tonight, I would effectively be living in the 1500s, as that's about where my technical understanding of things ends. (scavenging for replacement electronics notwithstanding, once something electronic breaks, it's gone since I can't exactly run a semiconductor factory by myself, or the mines to get the materials)

My point is, most people only know how to "push the buttons" of the world. They have very surface-level understandingsof it. But when it comes down to it, they don't understand how the internals actually function.

Sorry if this rambled a bit, I hit the bowl as soon as I got home from work.

Personally I like "Shit tends to clump together."

And "the turd doesn't fall far from the asshole"

It is... Precious to me.

Why bother putting any sort of polish on it?

CHILD SEX SLAVES

I've just been calling it twitter

I'll never deadname a person, but I'll deadname the shit out of a bigoted transphobic crybaby billionaire's shitty website.

I was enlisted.

I'd say it's about 50/50 as to whether one of the women I served with could kick my ass, regardless of size.

The women who are joining the military aren't "prissy princess I need to be pampered all the time" stereotypes these chucklefucks think they are.

And it really is a fight to prove they can do the bare minimum, even if they're seen excelling 99% of the time. The 1% mistake will be fixated on and used as proof they can't take it. All while ignoring the massive fuck ups from the males.

100% of them could kick one of the politicians asses in a heartbeat. especially this weeks picks.

I have no doubt that the women in the military are in far better shape to fight a war than any of their critics.

For OTHERS, yes. But many want the cutting edge for themselves, at no cost to themselves.
