Oh hey, would you like to talk about how cool replicators are and their role in helping achieve post-scarcity?

Really because I'm more like this when I find a new trek friend.

[-] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

I will be your Trek Friend so long as we can talk about the amazing duo that is Quark and Odo.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Or doctor and tailor? That show was so good. My memory is shot today though.

[-] teft@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

How about the duo that is Kurzodo and Lumba?

[-] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

See? Quark has ALWAYS been fierce.

[-] teft@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

And Odo has always had a trickster streak. He just buried it down super deep because of his PTSD from the shitty spoonheads.

Mon capitaine!

As a coffee fan, can't disagree.

There's the right way, wrong way, and the Janeway.

[-] don@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

I have to buy honest and admit that I prefer my Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

[-] teft@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago

Sorry, no coffee but I do have this:

[-] don@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Well done, Number One.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Anyone who isn't Team Q is a loser. Don't @ me

[-] don@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I dunno about that; a race of immortals with effectively all of the same problems as humans but condemned to never die.

de Lancie is pure and rockstar, though. Both JLP & KJ fiting him was awesome.

[-] teft@startrek.website 11 points 1 year ago

Don't forget my man Sisko. He literally fights Q.

[-] don@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

GODDAMMIT now I gotta rewatch DS9! It was difficult for me to get into at first, but I’m glad I persisted.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

It starts out really boring and slow, but damn does it get good!

[-] enthusiasticamoeba@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

DS9 is my favorite by far. But what I really like about trek is the variety of shows/mediums there are. We've got long arcs and one-off's, comedies and dramas, diplomacy, action, fighting... And if you get tired of watching there are even books!

[-] don@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

All very true! It was also much easier to get into than the other star franchise.

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

I can live with that.

[-] Bunnylux@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Came to the comments to search for a fight about our nomenclature. I seem to recall there being some people who'd prefer to be called 'Trekkers' over 'Trekkies'. Anyone remember that?

[-] teft@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago

Only changeling infiltrators care which term you use to describe the fandom. Use whatever tickles your brain, this isn't Starfleet Academy.

[-] don@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

This is the correct answer. Unless you’re Cardassian.

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know that I'd refer to myself as a hard R trekker.

[-] Ghost33313@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

You seem like a nice guy. Ever consider a career as an air traffic controller at the Albuquerque NM Airport?

[-] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago

would you like to talk about how cool replicators are and their role in helping achieve post-scarcity?

Or how it might be the opposite. I'm in the camp that says it's because humans progressed as a species that they could make a post-scarcity society work. If replicators got invented today some billionaire would just patent it and lock it behind DRM.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Replicators didn't even help humans achieve the post-scarcity society. Humans already had a post-scarcity society by the time they were given replicator technology by another race.

I'm not sure I agree. Replicators are basically just better 3D printers, and those are pretty readily available.
