Is there an !AsABlackMan here?

That’s incredible. It also reminds me of the episode of Star Trek Deep Space 9 where they need to find space to store a bunch of people’s transporter patterns, so they just dump them into the stations computer, replacing everything that used to be there lol

Can’t believe the US is putting trains on the moon before making them viable on Earth

Interesting. In the US, all kinds of jobs are called engineers

‘…to build that optimistic future that is Roddenberry’s essential vision?’ That is very much going to be at the heart of Starfleet Academy.

I certainly hope so. Star Trek should be optimistic. The Federation is a utopia. We don’t need grungy pessimism. Every other sci-fi is already doing that.

Same energy

So excited to become a corporate citizen

New Study Proves You Actually Did Jinx It

Wow, this is a super helpful and informed comment! If you don’t mind, I have a similar question. What would you call the theme for Baccano!? Is that still jazz?

Only the bad parts. Unfortunately, in most places, it’s the bad parts of the population that are in charge

I’m quite partial to ‘crimes against humanity’

Mine constantly pulls the bait and switch when I try to type “definitely”. On the third letter, it will momentarily recommend “definitely”, but after an instant, say, long enough to decide to tap the suggestion, it switches it to “Def”, and because I tapped the suggestion, I have to go back and delete the whole word and start over

I hope this is his swan song. Patrick Stewart is amazing, and I love Captain Picard, but he’s not Harrison Ford. The franchise will be fine without him. We don’t need to play out Too Short a Season in real life

I watch Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds on Paramount+ only because I want them to keep getting made

I don’t get mad, but I can’t really offer you any advice. I’m just a guy. It’s just how I am. I went to a therapist when I was in high school because I don’t really have any strong emotions at all, and I was worried something was wrong with me, but he told me it’s just how I am, and that one day, when I have a partner, I’ll “…either be their rock, or drive them insane.”

I proposed to her today. Turns out, that was an inclusive “or”.

How’d I do?

Being denied a promotion because you’re “too young” is certainly a protection.

It’s not actually. Age protections really do only apply to old people. If the person in the post is over 40 though, and got rejected for their birthday, they could probably at least get the company to overturn the rejection. Not sure how well they’d do in court. Most of this stuff doesn’t get enforced well, and that one is already a stretch

Even Enterprise was over by the time I was old enough to understand Star Trek, which meant I wasn’t really exposed to any Star Trek games until I was older, but I did play Star Trek Online! So Star Trek Online is my favorite! Lol

Damn, that second one was tough. I didn’t expect to find the word ‘eschew’ lol

I didn’t want to point the finger without anything to go on, but my assumption was that it was what Paramount wanted, and not the people actually involved with the show lol
