you know… I wouldn’t put it past starfleet to think that was a good idea.

I mean, they don’t use surge protectors, they don’t use seatbelts, they don’t have handrailing. They don’t secure their cargos. and there are those times where the gravity gets conked out. (also I’m pretty sure that the gravity field that extends past the hull would attract all sorts of nasties, and some neutronium getting blasted off would be enough to vaporize the ship. even just a few grams.)

I’m a heretic. I zip tie them to priuses all the time.

one of the things I find amusing is how scifi loves using neutronium armor.

If you removed neutronium from the super-dense gravity of it’s star… it would go off like a neutron bomb. A very big, neutron bomb. a single teaspoon of the stuff would probably crack the earth open. a single gram of the stuff would be more powerful than any nuclear weapon ever developed.

and people just love slapping that stuff onto the outside of their starships.

so, like, think about it. Laziness is the root of all invention.

If you really enjoyed hard work, we wouldn’t have invented lawn mowers, we’d just scythe everything. Or like, pasta makers instead of rolling pins. rolling pins instead of whateve came before (your hands?). wheels for carts instead of a travois, a travois instead of a backpack, and backpacks instead of just carrying everything in your arms.

Squirtle Squirt Squirt!

I like to export the failing onto other people, though.

gravity doesn’t really care who tries to disprove it, they still go splat.

Just the disposable ones, really.

Shit. That was supposed to be a joke.

Fuck me.

… then all they’re going to do is embarrass themselves. get published in the lancet.

FTFY.

The original study that said there might be a connection, was originally published in the lancet. It was later retracted, after years, but the damage was done.

which… the study looked at like a dozen autistic kids and found they had all gotten vaccines.

They all, also probably had all worn clothes. You don’t see people saying “clothes cause autism!”, though. Or you know, breathed air. Drank water. Played outside in the sunshine. I’m sure there’s more.

This is why RFK only drinks methylated paint thinner.

Well that and he confused the methyl-part with methamphetamine.

Don’t do meth. Or methyl alcohol. Both are awful.

Well, yes.

How else are the guest stars supposed to show they have been working out?

Do you think the Chinese people seeing this realize that they’re seeing this because Russia has run out of people stupid enough to sign up (or prisoners, and other undesirables,)?

And, uh, North Koreans, too?

Russia wasn’t tarrif’d

I blame Canada for everything.

Damn cobra chickens.

And the uneducated.

Which, well they’re getting rid of that, too.

Fun fact.

If you’re a media company and you want to be inside china’s huge-ass market, you work with China on censorship.

You get fired and an executive order named after you.

In my defense, I really love watching these dumbasses trying to figure out what the heck a crumpet is, and then getting angry because they don’t know and just assume it’s something awful.

But he won’t. Because he’s a morally defunct crumpet.

Guessing it means you can catch it for free? Like a side of fries when you pay for Covid.
