Miles O'Brien

A dramatization, by someone slightly baked:

"This is my neighbor. I keep him from getting too uppity by basically making it impossible to live here, since because of Me everything is insanely expensive or they literally can’t buy it.

As anyone who works for me can tell you, it’s not MY fault I’m doing this. It’s because I don’t like the colors of their shirt. Blame the shirt. And everyone take a look at how dumb wearing this shirt makes you look! See what happens when you wear it? You end up like him EVERY TIME! For more proof just look at all these other people who’s shirts I didn’t like and also attempted to kill (allegedly wink wink) and see how poorly they’re doing. I’m such a good neighbor. Just ask my richer neighbor. And ignore anyone inside frantically shaking their head no. Number 1!"

People talk about being there “for” someone. Here being there “with” him is more important.

When I’m depressed, having someone sitting on the couch in my living room scrolling on their phone is infinitely more meaningful to me than someone who is miles away and texting me a lot or offering to help with things. It’s probably part of my neurodivergence but having the person close in proximity while at least sort of paying attention to the room makes me feel less alone than having 10 people trying to check in on me all day.

And even if you DO post in small communities, half the time it’s a toss-up as to whether anyone will see it.

I’m not sure about lemmy, but reddit was roughly 50% US users, so it was a good bet that if you timed posts for “early morning” US browsing or “after work” EU browsing, your post would do well.

Idk lemmy’s demographic breakdown, but it seems more generalized (imagine that, a diverse fediverse!) around the world, so it’s hard for me to tell when the most users will be active.

I haven’t watched fallout yet, just because I haven’t been in a “fallout” mood since the show dropped, so my only experience with video game shows is Halo.

And I literally couldn’t finish a single episode.

So as long as nobody grabs a shovel, at the very least they can only trip over the bar. It’s as low as can be.

Hi, I’m someone who loves to play video games, absolutely cannot stand to watch other people play games, and for a thankfully brief period, was completely unable to play certain games due to insufficient reflexes.

This would have allowed me to play a wider range of games. I probably wouldn’t have been able to beat dark souls, but plenty of other games would be on the table.

Heres the best part about features like this, and I hope you’re sitting because this might blow your mind: if you don’t want it, and don’t like it… don’t use it.

Hope that helps clear a few things up.

A dozen wasps.

Level of aliveness is irrelevant.

Use 150mb to put a low quality version of Firefly that I used to have on a Nokia phone around 2007/2008, and the rest will be my collection of ebooks.

I’ve got more than 1gb of books, but I can trim down the file size by stripping formatting and saving as plain text, and there’s a few series I could go without reading for a long time.

Guillermo Del Toro, Roland Emmerich, Ishiro Honda, and Adam Wingard all team up (successfully) to make a Godzilla movie where he and Kong fight Zilla from the 1998 Godzilla movie and a hoard of sprogZillas

Or a horror movie set in the Warhammer 40k universe, directed by Paul W. S. Anderson and Ridley Scott. Possibly tyranids, but there are so many horror aspects to choose from…

What’s the story, Wishbone?

I like to throw it at them, then sprint away to see if I can make it outside before I get smacked. It’s about 50/50.

I take it as more “I am also a vampire with a castle, and understand your pain. I am completely out, so now I’m in line at the store.”

Pick up that can

A treadle sewing machine from 1908. I’ve been slowly breaking it down and cleaning the internals but it’s a slow process since it’s not a Singer with tons of documentation.
