I mean, it’s fine to disobey orders if it turns out obeying orders would have killed everyone.

Just as with Kirk, kind of hard to make the call to demote someone who can credibly state “you and everyone everyone loves would be a borg, dead, or living in a fascist dystopia if I followed your orders.”

It’s kind of a derivation on “If you aim to kill the king, best not miss.” if you aim to flout the rules without consequences, you better get species saving outcomes.

We’ll kill you for believing that!

Mariner, except I have a stronger commitment to delinquency.

My curiosity got the better of me, it’s the “Adam” voice from Elevenlabs

Anyone else think that AI voice that is fucking everywhere in TikTok ads and YouTube voiceovers right now sounds exactly like Tim Russ?

Oh wow, I just realized Rom stole his dumb laugh from Herman Munster.

"Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own.

…Sorry."

I don’t know why I assumed you had the critical thinking ability to understand at all.

I don’t know, but it sure takes a chunk out of your credibility going forward.

How could you be so careless?

TIL Music is literally assault 😂

Well my dog would very much enjoy hearing you.

She just likes to feel included in the discourse.

I guess I would be if it sounded better than earbuds, which they don’t.

I chuckle a bit if I hear sex in the room over at a hotel or where ever. I have headphones if I need to focus on something/someone’s taking a loud shit, I genuinely don’t care.

I don’t think it’s a person’s job to live quietly so others can pretend they don’t exist, especially when we have control over our own ears.

If the grunting and ham blasting is too loud, you’re too old.

In the future, people will get off to string quartet concerts by their peers!

I’m not sure what’s stranger in an enlightened future.

People still being shamed for having sex for pleasure, or people still being ashamed of having sex for pleasure.

If sci-fi tends to agree on anything, and it’s right, it’s that our religiously based, puritanical sexual hangups are hilariously stupid vestiges of ignorant times.

I always assumed the lower rank, younger crew on Star Trek fuck like rabbits with abandon on their off hours, with rank appropriate and/or holo partners. They’re isolated co-ed ships how could they not? Might as well just surrender to the borg if you’re ashamed of pleasure.

The Warp core isn’t the only thing that needs to have its pressure regularly relieved to operate at peak efficiency.

Yeah, but they’d have to deal with a 3,556.23% increase in irish drinking songs.

“I need a lot of people to suffer so I can feel like a bigger winner!”

Why are you booing Q?

He’s right.
