  • In all fairness, you’d probably want to have overrides in case of emergency.

    “Sorry captain, I can’t stop the warp core from exploding, nor can I eject it because we’re all turning into space lizards on account from the virus the away team picked up” is not a situation they want to find themselves in.

    The cardasians being enemies with the Federation means they’d probably have spies working on finding those overrides.

    Granted they didn’t explain any of that, and it is 99.99% just lazy writing. But there could still be realistic in universe explanations.





  • My parents have always been conservative, to the point where in high school I was very much the same because my dad would always play right wing radio on the drive to school.

    I graduated high school and went to college, where I was no longer stuck in such an echo chamber, and I slowly stopped believing in that horseshit.

    But my parents never left that bubble, and when Trump came around it got worse. We fought each other on it occasionally, but still had a relationship. Then Biden came, and things got slightly better. I was less anxious at the state of the world. I knew things were still fucked, but there was at least a glimmer of a shred of hope that the Trump era was fading, and at the very least it wasn’t something I had to immediately worry about.

    Then the second Trump administration came, and our relationship fell apart. I was and am beyond pissed at them for voting at for an obvious nazi, among a number of other issues.

    So we tried therapy for a bit, and it fell apart after about 2-3 months. So I was even more pissed off at them, and they were oblivious as to why I was pissed, despite explaining it to them numerous times. So now I’m low contact with them both.
