You know what’s even better than milking it for 6hrs of OT? Saying its “to hard” to the victim, going home and then lying about doing 6hrs of OT and getting paid anyway.
Cops lie about OT systemically. Its absolutely rampant. The only consequence they ever get is either a few hrs suspension without pay or fired, and most states are happy to hire them next door immediately so they can do it again.
Lots of the bags are bio-degradable, so they will eventually, in some unit of months or years, break down.
Of course, its the same issue as chucking a banana peel. It fucks with the local environment and will take a long time to be “gone” if you just throw it into a forest and walk away. Enough people do that, and eventually you have a trail covered in shit and bananas.
There was a “power glove” episode that did this i think? It gave whichever ring bearer who had it like 100x power with their ring. Of course it was evil, and i want to say it was mai tai and the “heart” ring that won the day, but I can’t be assed to find the episode to make sure.
Corporations are already at maximum union retaliation as the default setting. The only thing left is the pinkertons, and somehow I doubt that will fly nowadays.
Also the show is worse in some ways. They were forced into camps that they could not leave, with no medical care, limited food, no jobs/etc.
That would definitely be some peoples preference for the current homeless, forcing undesirables into internment camps instead of dealing with the issue systemically, but that was part of the horror of the “show” setup.
I think both charectors are supposed to be workaholics, people that lose themselves in their job and basically spurn family dynamics. Miles has engineering and Keiko has botany. Both technical and demanding disciplines.
I think the writers wanted there to be that “we are both focused on our work and not each other” dynamic to their relationship, and wanted Keiko to be frustrated as a workaholic denied, being pushed into both the family role for their daughter and having no plant life to study on DS9, with Miles always forced by the rickety ass station to be absent in workaholic mode. Its a situation that breeds real resentment.
The “become a teacher for the kids” was a sublimation that worked for a while for her on the station, letting her do useful work and watch their daughter, but that of course fell apart.
The other hand of it to is that theirs is one of the few relationships where you can feel the strain of competing needs on Trek. Most relationship issues in star trek are pretty low stakes, even the ones played up like worf/jadeza wedding. Like, it is all going to be wrapped in a tidy bow and we know it. Keiko/O’Brien felt like real people under relationship strain.
Miles and Kieko were both driven people, and Kieko was being stalled out and was frustrated by it. There was no easy answer, just like the real world. Sometimes relationships, even otherwise healthy ones, have issues. Both actors were able to show that well, so they leaned into it.
Unfortunately, it makes for unlikeable people at times, and i think Kieko takes that brunt because she was much more of a side character so she was less fleshed out as a person, and to be blunt, because she was a she. The “shrew” wife is a centuries old trope in literature, and unfortunately the Trek writers left her in that trope too long and too often.
Enough time is the key phrase here. Adamantium absorbs a goldly amount of energy in the marvel universe, to the point of being literally “unbreakable” in a canon with a fuck ton of different energy blasts/weapons.
Vader aint going to melt it in the span of a hand to hand fight filled with glancing nipple saber blows.
I assume the spore drive is in a wood box in section 31s “neato beans” warehouse next to Rikers “phase through matter and I guess go invisible whatever do what you want bro” cloak.
Look like this. They stack them in the little freezer section shelves sometimes, but Ive found them all over.
Grab their habanero chili oil the next time they get it in too. The oil is great and its stuffed with crispy little Hab slices. Amazing, and like $5 from TJ. Apprently are a repackage of this brand.
Hes excited by the gift that reflects something in their relationship, but it looks like a relationship killer. Her calling him “sweetie” and touching him lightly implies it isnt a break up, so it must just be the end of their sex life.
Amazing how much emotion you can convey with no expressions.
