    Yeah but you’re not a trained engineer after years at Starfleet Academy and years of postings who is currently on the Flagship. If they had the shields up constantly around it, it might imply that they don’t trust their crew. Starfleet is all about trust and working together. If they shield the core constantly they’re not trusting the engineers they trained to work on it and fix it. Imagine you spend years at the Academy studying the best in warp mechanics and what have you. You finally get to serve and after years and years you find that no one is trusted. That despite all your training on how to deal with it, you’d need to apply for permission to gain access to the thing your department is dedicated to. Those feelings of being untrusted or babied can really get to you after a while.


  • You lost the primary.

    There wasn’t one. It was an utter sham and is one of the things people are frustrated about.

    Quit your fucking bitching!

    No. People are allowed to voice their frustrations with a geriatric who has proven he’s as arrogant as trump. Until facism takes over America, it is literally a right for people to bitch about their leaders. And yes. Biden outright proved he’s as arrogant as Trump when during an interview he answer the question “If you stay on and don’t give the reigns to someone else and you lose the election to Donald Trump, how will you feel?” and Biden said he’d feel great as long as he did his best because that’s what counts. Either he’s lost his mind or he’s an arrogant douchebag. It is not just appropriate but required to talk about how he is unfit for the job.

    This is ridiculous.

    Edit: I went and grabbed the exact quote I was thinking of that proves Biden is putting himself before the country.

    G. Stephanopoulos - If you stay in and Trump is elected and everything you’re warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January?

    J. Biden - I feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job I know I can do that’s what this is about

    NO THE FUCK IT ISN’T JOE.

    This is about the future of DEMOCRACY. You just watched the Supreme Court appoint you a king and are like “Yeah but I gotta do the goodest job I know I can do” in a quote that sounds Trump-level failure on grasping the English language? Fuck off. Get the hell out of the way and let someone step in who knows what the fuck they’re doing and is someone people can rally around.



  • Warp core can have shielding around it but typically doesn’t. There have been threats in the past from people firing at the warp core. A containment field can be raised (and iirc there was one raised in this scene) but it’s not always on. Would no need to be in an area as critical as main engineering. Only people with access to the area are people who wouldn’t typically fuck with it. Having a continuous forcefield would be a drain on ship energy systems and might even impact crew morale to an extent.



  • Not exclusively but they’re correlated to some degree. You’ll start on one topic which reminds you of another so you start talking about that one. That reminds you of another so you talk about the next. My roommate always says something when it happens, usually with me opening 14 youtube tabs and pausing videos to start another one.

    I’m a huge Hitman fan (even been streaming it recently because why not). Have the same opinion. It’s why despite SASO being within my range to accomplish with some amount of ease for most missions they all devolve into mass murder. It’s just more fun to use all that shit. That’s also why Freelancer mode is so much fun. You get extra objectives to specifically use assault rifles or snipers or explosives and are REWARDED for it. Bang bang boom


  • You say aggressive. I say sick of watching people whine about politics they do not understand. That is how we all got in this fucking mess to begin with. People who know nothing about what they’re talking about weighing in with nonsensical opinions that are dismissive, half baked, and dangerous. Sure. Let’s conflate the people who have been more critical of Israel with the conservatives in Canada who are actively supporting them. Am I happy with the current government? Good God no. But I at least know what I’m talking about and half an opinion based off of reality.

    I’m aggressive because I am absolutely done with hearing politics from the ignorant. I am done hearing political opinions based on nothing more than false beliefs. Excuse me for being absolutely fucking done when the world is burning around of our ears because of people who open their mouth or act without thinking.

    I am so so sorry.
