Could this man be a bigger asshole?

The men forcing women to dress like this aren’t using the law to force them. Laws forbidding dressing like this are, theoretically, to protect them from being forced.

I’m open to the probability that there are such women. But I can’t imagine that they area anything but a sharp minority.

What about the ones who don’t want to, but are forced into it?

Keep all cheese out of the facility.

Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Because they know how to and are capable of making sentient holograms, but don’t, means that they are willingly choosing to strip free will from holograms.

Creating puppets instead of people is not stripping free will from anything.

Janeway erases all of Sullivan’s memory of his wife and deletes her. She then coerces him via rewriting his programming to have a relationship with her.

Most holograms aren’t sentient. They are little more than chat bots with greater capacity, and a physical avatar.

The issue with The Doctor is that he is, in some indefinable way “special.” I like him as a character, but the trechnobabble is unacceptable.

I recall a TNG novel that had them beam up some first-contact aliens, and, upon being offered some time to refresh after their journey, one of them said “What journey? I’m not actually convinced I went anywhere.”

Why the fuck do I want a smart monitor? I have a computer, and a video card.

Or is the user conned into installing the LG app under the guise of improved monitor functionality or some such bullshit?

According to the article, the add software is installed with the drivers through Microsoft Update.

The weapon was active. To me that says he pulled the trigger.

And I think he worked from logic to reach the same conclusion a human might reach through emotion. Data can never be a human, but he is very human.

The Most Toys is a fascinating moment for Data.

That was what my mind supplied.

Honestly, at that point, I think you let him have it.

Or maybe tax the rich? They have money. They just don’t want to use it.

But he tries not to, so that’s worth a few points.

Loved that line so much.

But it wasn’t entirely true, was it?

You make some good points, but I don’t want discipline out of her. She was a good captain, particularly for an environment that is supposed to produce Starfleet Officers.

She just needs some decorum.

My only issue with Academy was the presence of a captain who refused to act like an officer. Stand up straight, put on your boots, sit in the chair like a normal human.

Other than that, I loved it.

No, that’s just me being stupid.
