This is a Starfleet shuttlecraft on wheels and I love it.
Agreed, none of them would make a fantastic doctor. I was trying to think of what role Mikey could fill, and honestly I don’t think he’s grown up enough to be any kind of senior officer. Cowabunga, lower deckers!
This is weird and it’s nonsense. Obviously Leonardo is the captain. First Officer would have to be Raphael, arguing with the captain’s decisions then giving in. Donatello IS an engineer, so that’s clearly his job. And that only leaves Michaelangelo to be the doctor. …Don’t get too injured, guys.
If you consent to it, it’s ethical. It is not otherwise.
The knowledge that you live in a society where you could be legally killed at any point for the greater good, and the resultant fear and uncertainty probably would cause more harm overall than doing so could actually alleviate.
Is that not exactly what happened to Tuvix? Complete with him begging in helpless fear?
The episode did its job challenging viewers with the question, because people still argue about this today. But to me there’s an actual, unambiguous answer: 4.823 seconds after transport autosequence initiation, when the emitter array completed the materialization cycle.
Of all the decisions Jellico made that turned out to be right, my favorite was putting Troi in a standard uniform.
Moreover, Neelix and especially Tuvok as an enlisted Starfleet officer consented to the risk of death that comes with serving aboard a starship. And that’s exactly what happened to them. Tuvix was never given the choice and was murdered for having had the bad fortune to be born aboard Voyager. So much for seeking out new life.

m_r_butts@kbin.socialto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Verizon Gave Phone Data to Armed Stalker Who Posed as Cop Over Email0·1 year agoIt’s almost like conditioning the entire country to fear and/or hero worship cops and unquestioningly comply with everything they want has a downside.
I put individual cables in ziploc bags now. They can’t get tangled, and they’re really easy to sort through.
The first “porn” I saw was in middle school. It was a single bootable floppy disk with a pitiful menu of crude – almost repulsive – animations on an Apple II, basically no better than stick figures. The lesson I took away from it? How to program animations on an Apple II. And also that using one-voice beeps and honks over a bitbang speaker to suggest the buildup to an orgasm is hilarious.
However, Mr Migliano’s understanding from VPN providers, was that “this increased demand was driven by adults not comfortable disclosing their real identity while watching adult content.”
No, really? There are whole, grown-ass adults that just don’t want people to know they’re into some weird-ass shit?
Or how about even normal shit? Anyone remember when Australia tried to say that adult women with small breasts are basically child porn? God forbid you’re not exclusively into the gigathick mommy milkers, you deviant. Seems you’ll be on the watchlist now. No need for warrants ever again when everyone on earth is a suspect for something!
This has less to do with pornography than it does normalizing one more goddamn camera.
It’s an excellent start. They found a problem and sought a solution that wasn’t handed to them. That’s fully a hacker mindset to me. If someone had shit on me every time I felt proud of some trivial nonsense I’d worked out on my first PC, I wouldn’t be a senior developer now.

Tell me you didn’t finish season 1 without…
I haven’t seen all of Discovery, Enterprise, or DS9 so I’m completely unqualified to participate in this, but I’ll make a write-in vote for Original-flavor T’Pring. Biiiiiiiishhhhhhh
SNW T’Pring though, I love her. She’s got actual depth and I can empathize with her.
Runner-up: TOS T’Pau. Stuck-up xenophobe, plus they gave her that dumb early modern English dialogue of thees and thous that was supposed to convey ancient wisdom or something but they conjugated it all wrong and it’s annoying as hell
