I've been using this account as my primary for about a week now, and I'm think I'm settled on using it for the foreseeable future, so I guess it's time to do another #introduction post.
I'm a dad of four kids, and a web developer. I have a college degree in #Theater (or #Theatre) and had aspirations of being an actor. I kind of fell into web development as a career. It was a hobby back in high school, and I just needed to pay some bills after college, so I ended up doing this.
I always have aspirations to do other things, but for now, I'm pretty happy spending most of my time as a dad and husband.
Some day, I'd like to get back into #acting, or maybe do some #VoiceActing. I also enjoy #writing and will, from time to time, post some #MicroFiction, usually from somebody's #WritingPrompt.
I love #StarTrek, and usually watch at least one episode nearly every day. I like all #SciFi really, though, as well as #fantasy. I used to read a lot, but find I don't have as much time or mental capacity for it as I used to. I also enjoy watching #anime, and have really been enjoying the new episodes of #Bleach lately.
Feel free to follow me if you think we have similar interests, and I may follow you back, if I think likewise.

Just came across this reddit thread.
Just learned “manslaughter” meaning
I always thought it meant “man’s laughter”, so a dude who is laughing. No, it means “homicide”.
Idk if I’m dumb or English is weird
English is indeed weird.
How about for one final requirement before you can be the President of the United States, you have to beat an escape room?

TNG scene. We're in "personal quarters" if you get my meaning, and looking at a normal looking Data, in uniform. Behind him is some space future home decoré, a glass art vase type thing on a shelf with wavy lines in it. There's also a painting on the wall. It's all very homey. Closed caption reads, "I've been debating whether or not to initiate another dream sequence."

FYI. A buttload is equal to two hogsheads. One hogshead is 63 US gallons.
So, a buttload is 126 US gallons, or approximately 477 liters (or litres).
Or, one centibuttload is just under five liters.

We often fear the future, the unknown. But a true warrior faces forward, confident that their strength and honor will help shape that future. Why should someone who carries their own light ever be afraid of the dark?
I think I'm going to fly the flag at half mast on January 20th.

One of the last coal-powered sheep.
Most sheep are all electric now.

Odo from Star Trek DS9 saying, "It has been my observation that one of the prices of giving people the freedom of choice is that sometimes they make the wrong choice."
Dan Jones shared 13 days agoWhen we live through difficult times it can be easy to succumb to despair, to see nothing but darkness on the horizon. But one day, in happier times, songs will be sung of those who persevered. Strive to be sung about as one who brought hope, and carried light over that horizon.
Maybe I should move to the Virgin Islands. President-elect Drumpf doesn't even know it's part of the US. Might be safe from him there.

How many votes were won by propaganda by Russian bots on 𝕏?
How many did Elon Musk (who promised to get rid of the bots) let slide because they helped his favorite Commander-in-Cheetos?

The second person to do a thing will never be as impressive as the first.
It's not particularly impressive that Trump will be the second president to serve a second non-consecutive term.
It is "impressive" (straining that word a bit) that he'll be the first convicted felon to be elected president.
