Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.

Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.

Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.

    I have a 150lb great Pyrenees, and I have a bag that just happens to be the perfect size to cut holes in the corners for his legs, and his body fits snuggly inside. A bit like the floof on the right, but when he’s sitting down his head comes up to my stomach. He can stretch out to almost 7.5ft

    I kind of want to try it out, him standing beside me while I hold the bag handles…

    He’s in a bag, it’s what you wanted

















  • It’s mind-boggling that the entire history of war hasn’t been “our leaders decided they wanted a war so we tossed them in a pit with sharp sticks to figure things out and suddenly they decided war was avoidable”

    We have more in common with a random American Crack dealer, a random middle-Eastern farmer, Chinese retail worker, South American factory worker, than anyone who leads major countries, anyone in the 1%.

    I have no ill will toward any Iranian, in fact I’ve known quite a few immigrants and think better of Iran than most US states, yet my country leaders decided it was a good idea to bomb the fuck out of them. We should toss them in a hole until they can work together with the rest of us, yet here we are…

    No, it’s not possible they’re allergic to the base, as they would be allergic to their own body. Your body produces it, and you ingest it in plenty of other foods.

    But hey, I’m glad you’re not a scientist, and I don’t have to hope since you’re confidently making assertions with no knowledge base to pull from, like a shitty person might do.

    Personal anecdote from cooking for years for a variety of people of varying intelligence, background, and countries:

    Most people claim it gives them headaches and nausea.

    They “know” this because they feel it every time they eat (american) “Chinese food”

    Not a single one has ever had either symptom after eating my cooking that has a little sprinkled in.

    Now, I have tried to prove a point to some by informing them (many hours after the food, and asking about how they feel) that they in fact ingested MSG without issue and had no symptoms, usually to rounds of spontaneous nausea and headaches that had apparently gone unnoticed for hours until just then.

    It could be that ingesting a shit-load of greasy, oily, carbs and over-eating that caused their nausea and headaches when they gorged themselves on “Chinese” food, but no, they know it’s the MSG.
