if it opened up a subspace wormhole and translated you through i would

but since it destructively scans and then reassembles the scan from matter that’s been converted from energy: absolutely not

if i were to soft reboot star trek’s tech and sci-fi i would change it to the subspace wormhole system. basically a micro warp drive that stretches space and lets you step through

yeah. i work for a different co same business. no union. they work us to the bone too mostly by keeping stores at permanent skeleton crew.

so i do look upon the little advantages the eurostores have with some envy. chairs. little powered pallet jacks with a cargo bed. the efficient stocking.

the grocery industry is kind of having a moment now not sure where it’s going but it’s being hollowed out bad.

the experienced people are leaving in droves, the young ones aren’t replacing them. and everyone else is aging out

first real dream(s) last night about going through the whole transition process. it was sort of a series of scenes/time skips.

up until now it’s only ever been “you’re just a girl” or “vaguely feminine entity” in most dreams

this is how my brain finally fully comes around to this and overcomes the last of the anxiety/doubt

i had a more coffee cup shaped glass cup i used only for earl grey (the only tea i like). it was my approximation of a Picard cup so i could say the thing

partner accidentally dropped it a few mos ago maybe i’ll have to track this one down

wait can’t he just claim it’s a gratuity now?

yeah i’m really confused.

the dog looks terrified on top of everything else

i get a lesser version of this from Aldi. for a while i was calling it grocery store socialism. just grab “the thing” and the thing is relatively inexpensive and decent. not institutional grade store brand but ok

in and out

then go home and cook whatever you want there are literally hundreds of variations of recipes for all one’s choice paralysis needs

more like radical centrist amiright

“Depressed, but informed.” - AernaLingus, Hexbearite

should be on their list of accolades because it describes this season well.

as a former sigh lolbertarian: they basically have a right and left deviation just like MLs. not sure if they still use the terms but it was “yokeltarian” (right) and “cosmotarian” (left) for the two wings

then the two further extremes would be the ancaps/dark enlightenment freaks (far right) and the mutualists/left libertarians/non-marxist anarchists (far left)

the national libertarian party leans a bit more “left” and is likely going to keep going further left as the rightists just keep going MAGA and fascist.

some of these people can be won over to us from the left/far left camp but require heavy doses of debrainwormer twice a day for 14 days

more likely they just become libs at best. or realize that true liberation requires a state to enforce it

excellent! for greatest effect, when you experience the bright flash be sure to open your mouth wide as possible and point directly at the airburst

the more i’ve read the more i believe he was positively riddled with stress and anxiety over that kind of stuff

he knew where it was leading and there was nothing he could do to stop it. he didn’t seem to be enjoying it at all

looks cozy

just finished the newest blowback

god the Sino-Soviet split is a fucking tragedy

everyone hopes they’ll be turned into plasma but in reality we all just get horrible 3rd degree burns

the imperium is undeniably human supremacist but has no problem putting every gender into the meat grinder equally

like, this has always been the canon these fucks just want to think it’s some tradcath space future

probably the East Palestine chemical spill disaster

here comes the bipartisan solutions to create as many “accidents you can’t take care of yourself”

oh what was that alienation and isolation, covid and microplastics are meaning even potential “accidents” aren’t happening anymore?

also why many stimulant “nootropics” are gray market legal as well as kratom. pharm companies would love to make kratom go away and put everyone on suboxone for life but its become a “white, disabled veteran” and “white, boomer aunt” pain reliever which makes efforts to ban it very frustrated.

also it being basically “matcha tea opioid you can’t OD on” gives it less allure for the conservative “drugs icky” crowd

and the kratom advocacy group is made up of retired congresspeople and ran by Pelosi’s son so there’s that web of handshakes and back patting

fucking U.S. blocks catbox of course. Big, Beautiful Firewall of America

not Serbia, though. land of true internet freedom
