Chris the Q

Somebody remind me how this disgusting peckerhead got into the nation's highest office twice?? Our collective intelligence quotient has really fallen that far???

So much for the leader of the free world.

"The president said the battleships would be equipped with advanced weapons, including hypersonic missiles, electric rail guns and high-powered laser systems...." Way to betray national defense secrets to hostile foreign governments, e.g. Russia, you incompetent sack of shit.

"These cutting-edge vessels will be some of the most lethal surface warfare ships … other than our submarines."

GIVE ME A GODDAMN BREAK. Submarines, by definition, ARE NOT SURFACE WARFARE SHIPS, YOU WARTHOG-FACED BUFFOON!!!!

"We haven't built a battleship since 1994."

The last battleship launched from a US shipyard was in 1944, the USS Missouri to be exact. One would think this big fat brainless idiot would know this of the ship that hosted the treaty signing that ended World War II.

Trump unveils ‘Golden Fleet’ of Navy battleships, touts them as ‘more powerful than any' ever built U.S. Navy operates 294 warships while China fields world's largest navy with 370+ ships, as officials warn China has 230 times America's shipbuilding capacity.

Good grief. Some serious fact checking is in order here.... 🙄 www-foxnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.foxn...

Ahah, then perhaps today IS a good day to die - um - I mean update one of my fanfic WIPs following the ill-fated mental health odyssey of Mr. Matthew Decker. 📝

Friend zone does not, indeed, exist. Hardly anyone notices how heartbreaking it is to realize that a girl was only pretending she was interested in you because she wanted your money, your sperm or your domestic labor.

Saw someone tweet a while back:

"Friend zone doesn't exist. Nobody talks about how devastating it is to realize that a guy was only pretending to be your friend all along because he expected sex."

Eminently fair, but, counterpoint:

I don't even know why I try.

Tumblr post dated August 22, 2019 reading: "Can't wait for, like, 2025 when we look back on the 2018/2019 era and say "hey, remember when we were all really freaking depressed? That was a crazy time! Glad we aren't like that anymore" Response dated May 10, 2025: "Hey," Answer from OP: "Don't say anything"

I'm just gonna leave this here.

Me: *just stands there*

Everyone in sight: THREAT LEVEL CRITICAL

Next time I run a train I'm going to play Ozzy Osbourne's greatest (and not just "Crazy Train") on the whistle at all the crossings.

This "Wedding Bell Blues" now, on the other hand....

Not a comfortable episode for those of us who have considered blowing our brains out over our last (and I do mean *last*) breakup. 😑

Well, at least I lived long enough to see how the SNW S2 cliffhanger got resolved. But I will never forgive the damn studios for incurring a double-barreled strike that delayed said resolution beyond somebody else's lifespan.

I think I'm just going to bury myself in a cave deep beneath the earth until some short, hairy, greedy miners dig deep enough to awaken both me and my fiery wrath.

Depresh mode

Day by day I feel ever more like I'd be doing mankind a service if I just stopped existing.

(One oblique glance at my identity/presentation and no doubt everybody here would wholeheartedly agree.)

KEEP CALM AND EJECT THE WARP CORE

Always acceptable if you do it calmly. 😉🖖

So when, if ever, do you suppose other countries will start accepting US refugees?

When her mental health reached crisis point and then crashed into malaise, I was dying to help her recover and she would have none of it. She won't even let me talk to her now.

She still has a special place in my heart, probably always will, but her distance is fucking killing me. 😞

"Bring Me To Life" is legit painful to hear on public sound systems now. It's such a timeless hit because it's from the POV of a person in the throes of a mental health crisis asking for help from someone who's close to them.

V/O: and she did mean, "everyone"

As a result, failure after wartime failure, until the frontline submariners (who were taking all the blame) finally solved the problems while the bureaucrats were still talking up their own asses.

But we all know, don't we, how these ridiculous imbeciles are with taking lessons from history. /2

And once again they have learned nothing. It's the same story as the run-up to WWII, when the Navy's Bureau of Ordnance tested one (1) magnetic torpedo exploder in Long Island Sound and couldn't be arsed to conduct further tests in other parts of the world, where the magnetic field was different. 1/

Of course I can do it alone. I always do. I've learned how to carry groceries, pain, memories, solitude, compliance sometimes all at once. I've figured out how to untangle things no one else noticed they were knotted. I answer my own questions, fight my own doubts, cheer myself when the silence is too loud. People say, "You're so strong," like it's a gift, not something I built brick by brick when no one showed up. But yes, I can do it alone. I just wish I didn't always have to.

Gee, thanks for nothing, guys. So much for encouraging men to reach out and ask for help when they're feeling low. 😕

Y'all, I could really stand to have someone to talk to today with all this going on. I promise not to trauma-dump, just some connection for once would be nice. Either here or on Discord (SteampoweredScribe).

Oh great, World War III. Just what I always wanted for my birthday. 😖

The appropriate question is, what have we done?

And I hope everyone who voted for this madness is now asking it.

I saw upside-down flags being flown after Biden was elected, too.

One of these days a ship is likely to see an upside-down flag on a desert island, request permission to search and rescue, and be told "nah, they're just holed up there because they hate the president, move on."
