Jeepers, that’s dark, Boss.

I’m sure that you feel like you’re saying something very profound, but for most people that’s just gibberish.

Ugh, I knew there was someone I was forgetting!

I was responding to your “correction.”

There wasn’t any humour.

USSBurritoTruck,

The one for Yar is incorrect.

“Incorrect.”

Yes, the bit would definitely be enhanced by being overt references to the events of the show, and not references to the personalities displayed by the characters.

Thank you so much for the note.

All I’m saying is if someone‘a going to “correct’ my joke, they need to be additive, as opposed to just a worse version of the bit.

And calling me an asshole is hardly banter. If buddy was bantering, he would have clapped back as opposed to whining about what a big meanie I am.

Four times watching the entire series?

Allamaraine, count four more!

USSBurritoTruck,
@USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website avatar

Well, clearly you’re going to have to start again.

Now that you mention it, it has been a while for that as well…

The Ferengi from “The Price” showed up in VOY, as did the Borg Queen, and Tom Riker was pivotal to an episode of DS9.

I feel like there’s a difference between a worker robot deciding it doesn’t want to live or die at the command of its humanoid creators, or a collections of nanites establishing an emergent intelligence, and a Federation Starship locking out its crew of 1,014 people and seeking out a white dwarf star like a salmon swimming upstream so it could give birth to an entirely new lifeform.

Even setting aside the ethical implications of using a ship capable of such a thing as transport, and putting into dangerous combat situations, is Starfleet prepared for similar events to happen on all their ships? What happened to the emergent lifeform after it left the Enterprise? Is it still out there? Why did it look like a screen saver from 1992?

But the crew of the Enterprise are fundamentally uncurious about the wider implications of the event.

“Amazing, isn’t it captain? An entirely new lifeform brought into being by the very ship we sail through the stars.”
“Quite so, Number One. Tell me, what’s our next stop?”
“We’re going to rendezvous with the USS Hood to pick up lieutenant Ro; she just finished her advanced tactical training.”
“Excellent! We’ll have to throw her a ‘Welcome Back’ party in Ten Forward.”

The way he acts towards the read Doctor Brahms certainly does not cast the character in the most flattering light, but what did he do in “Booby Trap” that was so bad?

It is wild how much shit Geordie gets for the Leah Brahms hologram.

It is also wild that no one ever interrogates the fact that the computer essentially made a hologram so it could hit on Geordi, either.

“Actually it was La Forge!”

Why would Starfleet be so fundamentally uninterested in learning about an enitity literally birthed by one of their Starships?

Check his posting behavior. Dude actively insults people he’s talking to at every chance he gets, acts like he’s in total control of what Risa should be, and generally doesn’t seem like a nice person to be around.

Oh, Pumpkin, I’m a fuckin’ delight.

Combine that with the private messages I’ve gotten from him

You mean when you provoke someone into an argument in the comments, and then report them because they don’t immediately acquiesce, so I sent you a message to knock it off? If it had been anyone else other than the most prolific poster, I would have happily given you a time out.

Now you know why I sprinted from this instance and this community.

And yet here you are, stirring the pot on a post more than a week old. Did you run out of other people’s memes to post?

Also, remember that you don’t have to be perfect to make progress. Goals require long term work, commitment, and developing new habits. Just because you falter doesn’t mean you should give up.

You also violated Starfleet protocols which require us to not interfere with developing cultures.

I’ll speak to the Admin if you’re volunteering to mod.

USSBurritoTruck,

AIBI for choosing to post queries about logical decisions to a meme page as opposed to volunteering to moderate a discussion forum that I have stated I want to exist?

USSBurritoTruck,
@USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website avatar

Because I’m not willing to pay for upvotes.

USSBurritoTruck,
@USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website avatar

That one may have been the inspiration for this one, if I’m being perfectly transparent.

When I first posted this to reddit, a couple t-shirt bots immediately stole it and posted it to some shady webstores. I tried to make an account with a more reputable site, because I figured if anyone was going to make money off my dumb bullshit, it should be me, but for whatever reason they wouldn’t accept it.

So, to answer your question, if you see it online, I would not have any hard feelings about your purchasing it, but I personally wouldn’t trust the seller with my credit card info.
