I just logged into Twitter for the second time ever and my feed is like 80% some color blog I must have had to follow to set shit up when I started, 10% Katy Manning, 9%Jhonen Vasquez, and 1% Stephen Colbert.  If I had any idea what to do with Twitter, I would probably try to even that out a bit, but I’m just ????

writing emails 

completely forgot any non-vulgar synonyms for ‘shitty’

sat there typing 'fucked up’ and the like until I just had to rewrite the sentence

I don’t know what that is, but I’ve just decided it’s a new, ‘trendier’, 'edgier’ version of Dabo (in that now there’s a new word to yell when you win) that someone on Ferenginar tried to put out in the casinos before it flopped and was put out of production two years later.   You can still play it in the back corners of bars built during that time, but even they’re kind of embarrassed about it.  

(And now I’ve looked it up and it’s probably a Quasi-Autonomous something Government Organization, fuck me I’m already forgetting it and it’s been like two minutes)

I think every time I learn a new acronym, it has to fight for space in my brain with all the other ones and I lose an old one.

how big of a problem is butt dialing in starfleet given how often commanding offers sit their asses right on top of consoles though

butt photon torpedoing

It’s the future, they’ve fixed that problem by now.

#The interfaces can probably distinguish between fingers and butts

I am pleased by the prospect of Starfleet devoting a bunch of resources to research into accidental butt-interface interaction rejection algorithms.

… Actually, it would make sense if the consoles utilized the same low-level brainwave scanning as the Universal Translator to determine whether any user input is intentional. Especially given the need to adapt to all manner of alien appendages which may or may not resemble fingers, butts, elbows, or god knows what else. And the technology is clearly there. So maybe the consoles don’t determine whether a user is firing a photon torpedo with their butt, but rather whether they mean to fire a photon torpedo with their butt.

There you go!

could this be applied to combadge calls too? Because you know there are multiple people with the same last name on the ship and the brainwave scanning could interpret who you’re meaning to call?

There’s a sad transition period where Ensign Butt-Hands has to use some analog technology.

I am really happy to see that this turned into a discussion, and one that brought the combadges in, even~
