Tipping culture is capitalists telling workers it’s their fault for not making enough money. It’s true though, because workers don’t organize nearly enough to change the culture. People should stick up for themselves and their fellow employees and demand a better wage and benefits.
Kirk’s exploits get so exaggerated, lol. He’s a big dork. He’s like a nerd who started working out and acting like a tough guy in his 30s. Picard is just the opposite, like a reformed troublemaker.
And even though Picard has the rep of being the one who romanticizes the concept of exploration (studious, reading about old timey ships, etc.), Kirk’s geeks out about it so much more: he’s obsessed with his ship, he’s studied (and seems to genuinely academically enjoy) space battles, and they even gave him that line in the movies: “Second star to the right… and straight on til morning.”
