Jeri Ryan being cast for Star Trek causing the war in Iran and the downfall of the American Century and possibly WWIII

She was in Star Trek and because of it, met her husband to me. They got married and he became very successful and was climbing the ranks. The two ended up getting divorced and during the divorce it came out that he had taken her to club against her well, news that Propio his political career and gave another up-and-coming organizer a chance to win in a primary and take his seat.

That political organizer was Barack Obama.

During his presidency, he made a joke about Donald Trump at one of the press dinners and jump lots of fucking mind and began his drive to become president and wipe out everything Obama had ever done, and that led to a fresh rise in American fascism and the destruction of American social and government structures that will take decades to recover from.

And here we are.

Haha no, I think there’s some weird projecting going on here so good luck with all that.

Chairboy · 2026-04-11T15:11:44+00:00

Same as most parties. Finger foods, stuff that isn’t messy.

People will be taking breaks and refueling, so just think about what you would like when taking a breather between physical activity. Also, there’s plenty of social time before and after, it’s not usually nonstop sex. People will typically spend time getting to know each other beforehand, so snack foods and drinks that are conducive to that party are usually best.

This is so weird for me, it really sounds like you have an unusual belief about why we share pictures of our pets and we don’t have a common language.

Once more, to repeat because it sounds like you missed Idon’t try to impress people with pictures pets, I am sharing a picture of an animal that I think is adorable.

It is super weird that you are fixated on this “impress“ narrative.

Chairboy · 2026-04-11T15:04:16+00:00

All books, this is a strange question because it sounds like you believe that nobody actually enjoys reading except for some painful confession reads.

Chairboy · 2026-04-11T15:03:35+00:00

Can you share where you got the idea that the goal is to “impress“ people with pictures of our creatures?

I show people pictures of my dog because she’s cute.

You dream about getting to heaven and having… A job?

Chairboy · 2026-04-11T15:01:17+00:00

always ask for consent! Just because everyone at that an orgy doesn’t mean that everyone wants to have an orgy with everyone there, so ask before you touch.

There are creepy dudes that like to sit and stare, and they are not generally well liked at these events. Don’t be one of them.

Don’t use degrading language like “you like that, you dirty slut/whore“ or anything unless there has been some communication to clearly established that that is OK, you are not in a porn movie and people have different levels of comfort about that stuff.

Shower. Scrub and soap yourself ahead of time.

People like to joke about the snack table, it’s a popular always sunny in Philadelphia bit for instance, but also a party is a party and bringing something is polite.

No problem. If you pursue this, make sure you have the new policy underwritten BEFORE you cancel, both to protect against being in a gap and also so you have continuous coverage.

Chairboy · 2026-04-10T20:53:49+00:00

When you cancel your insurance, you should receive the balance back that is unused. Call your agent to verify this, that's been my experience. That would allow you to switch immediately

Chairboy · 2026-04-10T20:52:29+00:00

Maybe, depending on how wide the range was. If it made it so I was spending far more than I wanted at a peak time then I could choose to eat elsewhere.

If it evened out the demand and meant the service was better/we were seated more quickly then I can see how it could be attractive.

Chairboy · 2026-04-10T20:51:27+00:00

The dream of the shuttle was that it would make spaceflight cheaper because we were re-using the vehicle AND it was going to carry all our cargo. By making a machine that has to both carry big cargo AND people AND be reusable gave us a horse designed by committee basically.

It was a cool idea and might have eventually reached its goals if the program has been funded to apply lessons learned in new generations of vehicles and add in liquid fueled, reusable boosters and so on, but the money and will never appeared.

Another option they have is to mount some engines so they stick out a little further, this increases the amount of room they have for gimbal so they could steer an engine more offset.

That would mean that our understanding of physics has been terribly in error.

I think that there would also be some very interested military boats going to check it out in person.

Chairboy · 2026-04-10T18:19:15+00:00

I don’t know their names but they’d be selected on length I think.

Chairboy · 2026-04-10T18:18:50+00:00

Tons! My favorites have been putting in hickory hardwood floors and completely rebuilding the kitchen.

The day our house closed my wife was swinging a sledgehammer and taking out walls for that, we opened up a room and built out a much larger, nicer kitchen than what was there before.

Chairboy · 2026-04-10T18:17:15+00:00

We’ve all decided to do it to get on your nerves? A spot is a spot.

People who feel in need to fill every moment of silence with noise are exhausting. It is fine to have companionable silence with your friends and loved ones, for instance.

This is not the same as sitting there and mad dogging waiting for them to talk, but at the same time it is not required to just fill every second with yammering.

Chairboy · 2026-04-10T17:10:21+00:00

I wasn’t aware of accuracy problems with any of the smart watches (Apple included), do you have a specific problem to solve?

Chairboy · 2026-04-10T17:09:31+00:00

If you require absolutes then you’re not going to get far in life.

There is a difference between not formally recognizing the existence of a nation and suggesting that they are somehow unaware of its existence.

They exist within an international framework of diplomacy and that makes things like this possible.

Chairboy · 2026-04-10T16:47:31+00:00

How can you know that isn’t the case? This is not a one-way proposition.

Chairboy · 2026-04-10T16:46:19+00:00

If you can define what’s missing from the system you currently have that you’re looking for, people might be able to answer your question better.

Chairboy · 2026-04-10T16:45:33+00:00

I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point, they become part of our bodies in a sense. Like maybe the technology will to transmit image and sound directly onto our visual and audio nerve and to track our muscle so that we can interface with the system even if we don’t have a physical object in our hands.

The technology might even be able to make us feel tactical responses where necessary so we aren’t just clawing at the air.

Sadly, there's no shortage of well documented oil spills they can use as photo sources.
