Well, considering there are still people in wheelchairs in Star Trek, guess I’d still be in one.

I like the inclusion (in the show), but I would hope that paralysis was cured that far in the future.

That’s what I wish for Pokémon. Highest grossing franchise in the world, works with knock-off legos.

That Enterprise shaming…

If our consciousness is just a series of electrical impulses, as long as the transporter keot those impulses intact, makes sense that we would still be us at the other end. But I’d think nearly any transporter accident would kill the person being transported since it would mess that up.

I didn’t conflate them. I never said the users were trying to profit. Reddit is trying to profit off user generated content that is free given and moderated while whining that others are using the api they gave away for free to do the same thing, except those developers actually provide better user experiences and accessibility than Reddit does. Reddit has shown that the only thing that matters is the money they can extract from the free labor of others, so staying on that platform is acceptance of those consequences.

Beg to differ there. Reddit has shown it's hand. They want to profit off free content while giving nothing back to the people who create that content. Back them at your peril.

I think it would be cool if the away team was different, or nearly different, each episode. You'd have temporary characters to empathize with (much like the alien species usually have), but then cut back to the senior crew dealing with problems on the ship and/or the moral ramifications of what the away team is dealing with. I think it would have to be a show with longer episodes, but we mostly have that now with steaming.

Basically exactly what I was going to say. Like what is the harm in contaminating them when the alternative is non-existence?

I mean, Lemmy if FEDERATED. If that's not Star Trek, idk what is.

That's their choice.

Ditto. I was looking for a reason to bail from Reddit, then they gave me a really great one. I wanted out of my main account because it was my 1st+2nd initial and last name, and there was no way to change it. I didn't like that info being front and center. So I was looking for an out anyway

Always need more Pike!
