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.

Disgusting. Content like this should be banned from the internet!

The demon in question of course being the overwhelming and all-consuming desire to smooch a buff lizard man.

It’s darn near negligible now, but any company that leaves that $.01 on the table will eventually get eaten alive by a company that didn’t.

It’s also some good foreshadowing for stuff we don’t find out until literally the last episode.

Gorn have ballsacks? Aren’t they lizards, so they should be internal.

Oh god I’ve turned into one of the snitties haters haven’t I

Honorable mention to some of the aliens they interact with in Enterprise, before the Universal Translator was fully working. Though technically they weren’t the Federation yet.

Actually, progressing in an interesting if not promising way. There’s been a ton of debate about how to handle the Ireland/North Ireland border due to brexit, and what they’ve recently settled on is basically creating a sea border between North Ireland and the rest of England so that the land border between Ireland and North Ireland can stay unrestricted. I’m not an expert, but this guy is and he’s made several videos about it I like: https://www.youtube.com/@williamcfox/videos

I instantly love this image, what’s it from? Some kind of Tomb Raider comic?
