Yes back then we didn’t have Facebooks and Mypages. We didn’t even have blogs really. If you wanted to post something on the internet you got yourself a Geocities account and made your own homepage using HTML. That usually just meant putting up dozens of animated gifs saying the page was under construction. If you wanted everyone to know you were a really edgy badass who didn’t play by the rules you’d have some laughing skulls and a gif of Diablo doing his attack animation. If you actually had something to say on your page you could use the <blink> html tag </blink> so that everyone would know just how important the message was, and also to give them eye cancer.

We don’t need chickens to survive either. It doesn’t mean we didn’t domesticate them.

Oh hello the 1980s called and they want their breaking news back.

The vast majority of COVID skeptics wernt really skeptical, they were scared and thought they could change reality by denying it.

Yea, if anything it underestimated how many people would be willing dedicate themselves to becoming full time plague spreaders.

Counterpoint: Shades of Gray

Exactly! This way you get to murder both Tuvix and Neelix at the same time. Then you can merge Neelix and Tuvix, then split and merge and split and merge over and over until you just have a big screaming pile of twisted cells begging for death. Then you order Tuvok to end its misery and everyone will agree it was the right thing to do.

It would make sense that a figure like that could be an example of mythological syncretism. Fek’lhr could be a Klinoneesation of his real name.

The Klingon empire wasnt ever really nice either. The Federation just looked the other way and ignored the billions/trillions of conquered and oppress people behind the scenes by citing the Prime Directive.

It would be effective at keeping the court independent, but if corruption or an unpopular ideological movement took hold in the courts it could metastasize rapidly and be very hard to root out.

I want a Pike and Sisko spinoff after they are both removed from the timeline. Now that would have been an interesting way to start section 31.

The Vorta were all genetically engineered anyway, and it would be make sense to customize them for the job they were assigned. I assume that Vorta agents had that power but commanders and politicians didnt. The Founders did go out of their way to ensure all their servants were excellent and their job, but terrible at everything else.

I think it was really more that all the other species naturally tend to hate vulcans and like humans. The vulcans desperately needed a popular friend.

My theory has always been that Vic was actually the “puppy” computer virus from s01e16, growing up and trying to get more interaction with people. That’s how he could transfer himself between holodecks and access station systems. In the mirror universe the virus infected an android body and not a holodeck program.

Even if it was fully AI generated its still human communication in a written format, at least until the AIs start writing to each other without a human intermediary.

Last time I ate Pizza Hut there was weird yellow oil leaking out of the “cheese” … less racism though, so at least thats something.

No, 2 shifts means there just a day and night shift, each 12 hours. Half the people from each shift are rotated off each day and night for normal operation. You end up working about 42 hours a week, but its all clustered so you get a clear divide between half of the week when you just work and sleep, and the other half where you are off.

Its popular with the military because you can easily surge staffing or fill in missing people without messing with sleep schedules. Ideally, you can double manpower at a moments notice just by canceling days off, where as with a more traditional 3 shift rotation youll have to pull from other shifts since they only have 2/7th of their manning on break at any moment.

3 on 4 off, then 4 on 3 off. If you just want to work and sleep, then not work, its the way to be.

Two shift is where its at. Four day weekends twice a month!

They wernt going to be operating in China anyway.
