there is ethics about body modification and especially about enhancing your self artificially, it’s seen as a dead end because people who are artificially “perfected” end up being stagnant and pointless. experiencing aging and illness is a part of ethical behavior, or is ultimately preferable to the alternative.
I have at least one super fan that down votes everything I comment. At least that’s how my inflated ego sees it.
no… it’s a terrible song. It sounds like AI made it with the prompt “give me a corny ass Nashville radio style song about a vague religious term that can offend no one.”
“just say yes, and don’t do anything he says, the captains been body snatched again, it happens every few months, but check in later, he usually has a really trippy story for what happened to him”
I do find it annoying that the aliens don’t even grasp what time is, but one of them married a guy for several years and returned to the wormhole, but… yeah…
Don’t worry, you can just learn to hate yourself by thinking ‘‘I’m just lazy and worthless’’! Ha ha! No. Really don’t do this, it’s a nightmare, seek help, look for coping skills, idk, just don’t do this to yourself, if you aren’t kind to yourself you ruin so much more than whatever NOT having executive shutdown might be.
I do love those games, but they are very much not offical canon, but I do like them a lot.
never read the book
ARRRGGGGG!!!

OK, yes in the films the Orcs make little to no sense and are nothing outside of comic relief cannon fodder, but in the books they aren’t like that at all. In the books almost everything “evil” is an artificial or evil magic version of something else as a way to counter it, like the Nazgul were an attempt to fight against Eagles. Orc were actually the first elves to come into existence, and the evil bad guy who was Sauron’s boss corrupted and tortured them until they were orcs. They are meant to be a counter to elves, but making people out of evil motives and discordant thinking isn’t that great an idea, so they aren’t very good at this. but they do have their own language and family units, not weird birthing pits, and make their own choices, there’s a few longer parts in the books where you’re just following the orcs along. after the war the orc’s are pretty pissed they got roped into the whole evil army thing, and vow to never follow “big bosses” again. Also Aragorn gives them their own lands. The humans and other beings that fought for Sauron were all roped into it with his lies and cunning, and were pretty upset when they found out all the horrible shit Sauron was up to, in the books no one’s really THAT evil, and the orc’s and goblins can be pretty goofy, but also very normal humanoid type of things.
the Dwarfs in the original fairy tale lore of western Europe were just regular elves who liked mountains and mining.
Man that one with Gladiator in it was so weird. The secret Magna Carta stuff really didn’t work.
They were lost on an alien planet though.
who?
very cool episode where he has to solve a mystery with nothing but a holorecording, pretty brilliant actually.
He programs the FUCK out of a Risian Daquiri, also I like to load up his [Perfect Sunset Date] holodeck program when I’m having a tough day. just relax and eat some fall off the bone Spare Ribs while Mandolin chamber music soothes my soul. The dating aspect of the program isn’t necessary. it’s nice to treat yourself for a change.
I like the one where it was all a secret ploy to uncover a traitor on the crew. And he basically gets kicked out for being late to work and kind of grumpy all the time.
Remember when Paris got himself kicked off the spaceship stranded in unknown lands?

Yes, and it was shown as a huge internal conflict in TNG, and honestly even TOS had a bunch of inconsistent morality that didn’t quite fit a utopian society, you have a lot of state secrets, a lot of espionage, paranoia, and a cold war that includes violating the prime directive on a regular basis as long as they think the Klingons will also violate around the same degree, and that’s really not a very good idea, I really doubt the Vulcans would arm a bronze age civilization on a developing planet with muskets if they thought the Klingons might also do That.
It’s so hard to finish long ass games…
I’ve been sleeping on a blanket for a while now, come to think of it…
