Uh, Lemmy isn’t really big on memes (except over at c/Risa on startrek.website — their Star Trek meme game is on point!), so the old memes are partly satire for those of us that are older than memes and mostly make fun of them. With old memes. It’s complicated.
It was funny when that happened in an episode of VOY when Janeway ordered a coffee, and then the mug materialized a few seconds later because the replicators were malfunctioning.
If one was indistinguishable from the other: taste, scent, texture, temperature, etc. You can’t tell apart the real thing from your choice, but you know 100% what you are eating....
I remember that, in one of the many Trek documentaries I’ve watched, this was some sort of misguided 1980s attempt by Gene Rodenberry to be gender-neutral when it came to the objectification of bodies in Trek. Interesting how everyone thought it was awkward once the roles were reversed.
Too bad they didn’t learn, “perhaps we should just stop doing this,” and went back to, “let’s just go back to doing this only to women.” Then we careened into the 90s space babe era.
The Fifty-Year Mission, that was it. It was made into a documentary that’s on P+.
Edit: IIRC, the book’s the memoirs of legendary Trek writer and on-again, off-again Roddenberry mistress D. C. Fontana who is also interviewed in the documentary. It’s a good one!
This was, like, 6 years later. Also shown in TV low-res 480p instead of big-screen film resolution. Or 1080p— I don’t know if TPB got the 4K treatment.
He said some fucked up things sometimes. He also had some great one-liners. I remember in the Augment episode, he was arguing with Aron Soong who yelled something like, “How can you say my work was misguided and too ambitious?” And Phlox incredulously replied, “Because I can read.” It was devastating.
Just because Chekov wasn’t on the bridge and we didn’t see him doesn’t mean that he wasn’t still part of the crew somewhere else on the ship. When we finally did see Chekov in Season 2, he at no point claimed to have just joined the crew.

Do you utilize a dedicated AV like Bitdefender when sailing? Or do you still trust Windows Defender to take care of the higher risk while doing this?

Why are most memes on Lemmy from 5-10 years ago?
I’m glad people are active, but why are the most upvoted memes things from years ago? Bots? Users desperate for content?

Totally get why it’s infuriating but it does look pretty cool. Especially when it’s so subtle you don’t notice it easily without a closeup.
