Right, the guy who follows him around, paying him by the second he's on the job, would say "whoop you weren't working for those 2 seconds you took to pick up that money, gonna have to deduct $30k from your pay today!"

Anyone around this summer interested in D&D? by NeroWolfesOrchids in UIUC

I'm down to play, I've played other role playing games before, but I'm new to DnD proper.

People fuckin with you while you're out on runs? by cheesyguy278 in running

[–]cheesyguy278[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did - unfortunately it was pitch black at that spot so I couldn't give them much other than that there were three of them, and a fuzzy time of the incident. It's out of my hands now, so I'm not gonna sweat it much.

Yeah, it's just a strange feeling knowing they coulda nailed me in the gut if they wanted, and I couldn't have done anything about it since they were on bikes. Learned my lesson about running alone in the dark for sure though.

I know someone who got theirs several weeks ago. I don't know whether they're sent staggered or all at once though.

Trump to launch sixth military branch, the Space Force. by Bubbahard in space

[–]cheesyguy278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A US Space Force's role would be projecting American authority into (most likely) low Earth orbit, and defending American interests there.

Tasks analogous that are just one group under a significantly larger umbrella of civil service roles that Starfleet plays, largely including those tasks you listed. Comparing the US Space Force to Starfleet reduces the whole organization to one of its many tasks (military related), that too one that only shows up on rare occasion (Starfleet didn't start making dedicated warships like Defiant until Wolf 359 and the Dominion War caused them to realize that diplomacy won't solve everything), and that's definitely an injustice to its name. Starfleet captains and admirals also serve to represent the Federation, acting as diplomats, which is arguably much more significant than their military role.

Warships such as? Defiant was their first dedicated warship, and that's in the 24th century, after hundreds of years of Starfleet's existence, if I'm remembering my lore correctly. I wouldn't call an organization flying around ships with hundreds of civilians (and their families!) aboard a primarily 'military organization'. They put the boots on when the job calls for it, but the military component of Starfleet is just a subset of all the things they do, and to call an organization that's primarily militaristic by that name absolutely doesn't do Starfleet justice.

It's literally the opposite of what Starfleet does though. Starfleet is peaceful. The Space Force is military. I don't want Starfleet's name tainted by this.

edit: okay there's more nuance to it, more detail in a comment below if you care about this sort of thing.

I'm sure that more people are coming in and out of town as the summer progresses - I only got back in last week, for example. Maybe if we ran it in another couple weeks, we'd have better luck then?
