Is the towel currently stoned AF?

I can't wait to spend 79.99 for 12 pieces to build a type A shuttle.

all we see of it is weird mind games, like simulated terrorist attacks and tests you automatically fail

I can definitely see how those things are extremely useful. Not everyone is going to be within the relatively save confines of ESD or stationed on a core planet. You're out in unexplored space on your own with no backup and will encounter some of the most absurdly effed-up races/beings/giant green space hands.

New in TNG, but a couple years later in DS9 it's already well known that Quark runs holosuites

The ho-lodeck

Holodeck jizzmoppers

Scotty: Whaddya say, Jim? And she's got a friend!

Kirk: only if it's the slutty one.

They probably started phasing those uniforms out after Ilia arrived on the bridge and Decker had his captain's log on full display.

Interesting theory, but the logistics of such a thing are a little crazy. What happens if multiple species joins in the same year?

My question is...what power does an HOA have? If you paint your house a color they don't approve of, do they think they can kick you out of the neighborhood? Fine you? Go full kristallnacht?

They exist purely for the benefit of busybodies and people with an unhealthy obsession with perceived property value.

Busybodies, retirees who don't have shit else to do in their free time, and those who have to have their noses in everyone else's business.

We have an HOA and it's not really terrible either. Most of the money (only recently raised to $100 er year) goes towards the custom mailbox frames & street sign posts along with maintenance for the common grounds. Their bigger rules (guidelines) are 1. no above ground pools and 2. if you're gonna build a shed make it a permanent structure; on a slab or at least gravel base, and try to make it match the house.

Thankfully it's not an HOA where there is a dedicated color all houses have to be painted, and you need approval for landscaping.

Well did he cum or what?!?!

The one where Robert Foxworth plays a high ranking officer

Garak tried to screw me somewhere very uncomfortable once.

What, like the back of a Type 2 shuttle?

It's a conspiracy

The Geordi/Data one does kinda bring up a good point though. Data is a graduate of Starfleet Academy, put in his time and rose up the ranks to the point of being the 2nd officer and CSO of the flagship. Yet the first episode of the series he's shown to be naive to most human interactions, most basic idioms and turns of phrase.

This had been posted a few times on r/DI, but a good working theory is that at the academy he never tried to fit in or make friends and simply did the work. In all his postings he never attempted to go above and beyond, but just did his job and what was expected of him, and some of his promotions may have been simply *you've been an ensign for 4 years, so you kinda have to get promoted now. It was Picard who saw his uniqueness and potential, and pushed Data to think for himself to help him grow, and as such the other exceptional crew members on the flagship actually took the time to get to know him and become his friend.

But I'd love to hear other theories!

The last movie just seemed to drag on way too long. Like they could've easily cut 20+ minutes off the runtime if the movie wasn't busy fellating itself.

Picture it; Wolf 359, Stargate 44002.3...
