This place has the same amount of high-quality content and intelligent conversation as reddit. Not proportion, amount.

I’m fine with them getting filtered. This place already has no shortage of fools.

I prefer my explanation: exposure to the space/time distortion of warp 10 gives beings who are used to linear time psychic hallucinations that only diminish with time and space. Tom Paris didn’t begin evolving at all, he just had a Trainspotting freakout that unwittingly forced every sapient being onboard, including the EMH, to experience it with him. It diminished for everyone else once he bounced. Chakotay and Harry Kim didn’t actually find salamanders on that planet, they found Paris and Janeway rolling around naked in a mud puddle making salamander noises. The explanation was made up so they didn’t have to file paperwork detailing a captain and a flag officer being found fucking on the ground covered in their own barf and shit.

Being a tankie isn’t reasonable, dunking on them is. You’re welcome for my service.

Have you taken 5 or 6 blows to the head every day for 30 years?
