TNG infamously had an episode about an asshole captain who, among other things, made arbitrary and annoying changes to the scheduling system. Did you feel the same way about it then? It just seems to me that bureaucratic and management difficulties are a totally plausible problem to deal with in starfleet.

People razz nasa about the tampons but then if you ask them what a reasonable number is they won’t give you a number

By our standards it’s just a regular bathtub

Janeway would ABSOLUTELY release weaponized smallpox to get coffee.

Yeah we made a machine that burns a million miles of rainforest and drains a lake of drinking water every time you use it, and we’re forcing everyone to use it, but you’re the wasteful one for saying slightly more to it.

Rookie mistake.

“Computer, Anime Waifus, Hot.”

Sadly it’s not that there was “so much” it was that it was “so gay.” Berman cracked down hard on that, so there’s only hints left.

Not the klingons, they eat their Gagh live.

No no, they didn’t do that until TNG

The federation changed forever on the day the Enterprise discovered the Planet of Chocolate Air

Only the Doctor was sentient

Well, the goal of rent seeking is to collect money, without giving any products or services in return. And without a product, you don’t need a Product team.

Disco lost me when I got to the episode where everyone is going to die unless the main character cAn tAlK tO a bOy aT tHe dAnCe!

Lower Decks was fun though. And I’ve watched like, 1 episode of SNW but it was a good pilot. Haven’t plumbed the depths of the rest of nutrek yet.

I was too lazy to make it but I was thinking earlier today of doing a “I hate nutrek because it’s derivative and centrist, you hate it because you are a nazi, we are not the same” meme. (Not that I’m calling you a nazi, this was just an idea I had, not directed at you)

Yes

Ohhhh they hate nutrek, got it.

Some have figured out how to eliminate Product. It’s called rent-seeking behavior or more recently neo-feudalism. The short version is you organize society such that everyone is required to give you all their money all the time or die. See for example the health insurance industry.

People are asking for RICK BERMAN back!? Is this a mirrorverse thing?

Nah, no one here likes that show.

Lets be real here, Mutiny is like a 200-level course at the Academy
