Bonehead,

Batman?

Bonehead,

I actually work for Canada Post. We've heard rumblings of the pre-sequenced mail coming our way, and some people have lost large chunks of money from it. Contract negotiations are coming up though, so we'll see how things go. Though it is nice having a union that is willing to fight the company for the workers...I've never had that before this job.

As long as I can have satellite internet and have supplies delivered, I'm picking the Kingdom of Redonda.

Bonehead,

The point is that we understand the actual paper has no value itself. It's the commitment of the government backing it that has the value.

Bonehead,

In societies outside the Federation, where they don't have replicators, things have value due to being able to use them for other purposes. Latinum has never been shown to be used for any other purpose except to trade. Its not clear why a useless material is considered valuable, except for the fact that its rare.

Bonehead,

Yes, but beyond its scarcity, what other purpose does it have? Lots of things are rare and can't be replicated, but their value comes from the need to use them for some purpose such the ability to build other things that you wouldn't be able to build otherwise. Latinum has never been shown as anything more than a currency with nothing behind it to give it value.

Bonehead,

Define "post-scarcity". You can't replicate everything (without programmable matter, anyways...), and some raw materials are needed to build the replicators. And latinum is a rare commodity, though I don't know why it's so value beyond its scarcity. Greed will always be there as long as some things remain scarce yet required for a functioning society.

Bonehead,

It was shiny, easily workable, and didn't turn your skin green. As a jewelry metal, it was much more valuable than as a currency. It had uses other than just money...

Bonehead,

Well that's no way to find success...

Bonehead,

I didn't notice that...that's even worse...

Bonehead,

I prefer the philosophy of Fu Kital...it really covers everything.

Bonehead,

I can hear this...

DON'T PROVOKE THE BORG!

Bonehead,

What will really fry your brain is when you think about how the Romulans are really just Vulcans that broke away during the Time Of Awakening. Romulans are suspicious, distrusting, and secretive...which makes sense when you're surrounded by unstable psychopaths that started a nuclear war. But they aren't as violent or ruthless as Vulcans use to be. So really, Romulans are just the sane stable Vulcans that decided to flee the psychopaths that threatened to kill them all. And now the psychopaths look down their noses at their emotional yet mentally stable cousins.

Bonehead,

Strong Sad now comes in coffee form...interesting...

Bonehead,

I don't understand how you are missing this.

Because it's a meme and OP's comment history doesn't seem to indicate that.

Bonehead,

OP's motivations were called into question. I don't see evidence for the accusation in OP's comment history. I personally took the meme as just a meme, but other people refuse to.

Bonehead,

Funny...the ones complaining about the pandemic restrictions at the time were comparing themselves to ethnic genocide victims. I don't see a problem with making jokes about those people now.

Bonehead, (edited )

Because Keone Young is a fucking treasure.

Besides, the bottle episode "The Sound Of Her Voice" takes this award.

Bonehead,

It was the first season, and they were trying to reuse a TOS story to fill out the season. Don't think about it too much...just roll with the drunken android sexy times...

Bonehead, (edited )

It's the Add Post button.

Bonehead,

It didn't stick, so he doesn't count.

Bonehead,

Only if we get an H3 that completely ignores a major plot point from H2 because it was a stupid idea that no one liked.

Bonehead,

Just like I told my father, you don't need to take it out on the fuck up.

Bonehead,

If you can, always set the title of whatever window you're working on to capital bold letters, preferably red, saying PRODUCTION SERVER - DON'T FUCK IT UP. This has saved my dumbass a few times when I looked up before hitting enter.
