    Bro. The amount of harassment I get is fucking unreal, it just happens to usually be from admins more than anyone else. But me and Picard have both had to deal with our fair share of lunatics users. Hell, I’ve got a straight up stalker who won’t stop harassing me with new accounts and shit. We just both kept posting and ignored the douchebags. Now we get regularly pinged by people saying thanks or some other compliment my autistic ass has no idea how to process. Things change.













  • White Vinegar + Water is actually a solid floor cleaner. I’ve never heard of adding lemon juice to it though. One cup of white veingar to one gallon of water is what works for me and what I usually see. There is cleaning vinegar as well that’s more concentrated and can be watered down even more to achieve the same results.

    I’m pretty much stuck with vinegar at this point. I’ve got a cat and this is guaranteed cat safe. She’s also adjusted to the smell because her previous owner used to use vinegar to clean floors as well.
















  • Step 1) Pay my rent for the next 10 years. Freaking out about it month to month is shredding years off of my life span. Also buy a new hard drive because I ran out of space for memes earlier today…

    Step 2) Go to the grocery store and get a shitload of groceries, distilled water and cat food so that isn’t a concern for a long time. I can not eat. The cat? Not so much.

    Step 3) At the grocery store, buy every single gift card they have. I mean all of them, not just the ones on the shelves. I’d go to the manager and say to get someone for me and me alone. Open a till and go through every box of every gift card, activate them all and sell all of them to me. ALL OF THEM.

    Step 4) Go to every food bank in my city and give them every gift card as well as a massive cash donation. Some of the gift cards are for the staff. Otherwise 30% goes to various purchases that will help if they wanna keep the cash for a while. The other 70% gets put in with stuff that people pick up.

    Step 5) Find every charity in my local area and pay them out. Reach their goals and then some.

    Step 6) Make an agreement with the city to fund an ENTIRE overhaul of the transit system. My city isn’t very big but the transit here is horrific. City won’t make moves on it because cost of shifting it around will mess with the budget. So, I pay for it and over the course of a very long time, I take an incredibly small amount of any money gained from transit over the amount they made prior to overhaul. That money does not go to me but instead back into those local charities.

    Step 7) Open my own vet clinic that has pricing based off of income. It’d be about the same prices as any other vets in the area overall, but if you make below a certain amount then the price drops. Keeps dropping based on how much you make. So much so that if you are homeless (as I used to be) with no income at all, you can have your furry friend treated at no charge. Hire someone who is exceptionally good at destroying competition and have them do absolutely everything in their power to obliterate any other vet clinics in the area. Absolutely fucking destroy them until they can no longer function because they simply do not have enough patients. Only those with no other option than to go to them because of travel distance. When they are utterly desperate and about to be foreclosed on, give them a generous payout as well as a hiring offer. Convert their location into another branch of my own with the same low income stipulations. No one deserves to be worried about their friend simply because they cannot afford it.

    Step 8) Hire a bunch of Star Trek actors to come to Newfoundland for the biggest Trek convention ever, ideally by having the Star Trek cruise set off from there after a big blowout. Brings in a ton of tourism from nerds with disposable income and as we have some pretty exceptional views you don’t get anywhere else, we can cross over the tourism WITH the Trek. Make a big festival saying it’s a new planet or something. This is 100% just personal love but it can help the island too so why not?

    Step 9) Invest in small-scale renewables and set up programs to help lower-income people lower their electricity costs (heating in my area is all electric so the prices are fucking absurd in winter). Have solar panels or whatever else hooked up with peoples homes and have the programs set to help mantain them at a minimal cost, ideally at least 30% lower than current electricity costs. That’s about $400 a year saved.

    Step 10) Make some deal with the provincial government to get the moose fences set up faster. It’s a local thing.

    Step 11) ALL REMAINING MONEY is to be invested in trains on the island. Absolutely none exist at the moment. We shut down the railway in Newfoundland in the 80s or 90s. First off, I’m autistic and love trains. Second, trains would make travel around this island insanely fucking easy. Requires more upkeep with the weather but as it stands the road system is awful, it takes too long to transport anything anywhere and we only have one bus route that crosses the island. It sucks and is a miserable experience. Set up a train hub at Port-Aux-Basques with spidering networks that go out to the various hotspots on the island.

    Edit: Lmao the downvotes are hysterical

    Yeah… basically every Trek show has a really rough start with the exception of Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds. Groundbreaking.

    Hell yeah on the ringtones! Every notification tone on my phone comes from Trek in some fashion. The Voyager theme song is my ringtone <3 Discovery and Voyager constantly flip back and forth between who is my favorite.

    Also Janeway did nothing wrong with Tuvix, I will die defending my queen

    I’m so happy that you guys have found a new joy for you two to share together that has brought so many others the same joy. I hope your journey is long and fruitful, my friend <3

    So what you’re telling me is that I had a hand in your infection… mwahahahaha. No but for real. I fucking love Star Trek and by now you clearly know why. You’ve seen everything the shows have to offer. And no matter whether they’re “good” or “bad”, they all have some hope to give or moral to tell or journey to go on. They’re awesome. I’m glad that someone else has shared in the joy of that too. Just… give Discovery a chance despite what you’ve heard… New shows, fans get salty… Make up your own mind on if you like it. But I will say that like every Trek show, first season is a bit rocky…

    Sounds like everyone needs to change their priorities. Women ain’t getting shit as I am notoriously homosexual and my knees are too terrible and my jokes too dry. Men. Find a better role model, I beg of you. As for all the non-binary peeps, sounds like you’re all well adjusted at the moment so I’ll leave that be.
