Unfortunately, outside of the meme zone (i.e. !risa@startrek.website) there isn't a whole lot of engagement anymore. Once the blackout was over, the reddit communities opened back up.
I mean, look at r/DaystromInstitute versus !DaystromInstitute@startrek.website – it's not pretty.
Waiting for the oil pressure to protect the timing chain.
Or, in the winter, waiting for the CVT to warm up.
To start things off:
I'm sure the first thing that will come to many people's minds is the infamous badging error in TOS:

Some may suggest that since it was caught during dailies and intentionally left in, then it should stay as it always was.
Others may suggest that if modern technology were around back then, it would have been fixed in post; so why not let that happen now?
For that specific example, I'd probably argue for leaving it alone.
Mariner's fighting just to be fighting. She has grown a lot over the past seasons. Her undefined angry outburst in this episode seemed pointless. There's nothing keeping JG Lieutenant Mariner from her Ensign Mariner renegade behavior and schemes.
Seems realistic to me. Have you never watched someone spend so long fighting that even peace starts to make them uneasy?
It's hard watching your loved ones go through it. You do all you can to get them on the right track. You show them that you believe in them and that you support them. They start making progress. They get to a good place. And then inevitably they run into the identity crisis where they have to make a conscious decision to unlearn all of their unconscious insecurities and defense mechanisms.
They literally start fighting their progress for no reason.
Mariner's depiction with a physical fight was a little on the nose, but it hits really close to home for anyone who has ever supported someone in that way before.
It's a fear response, and it's extremely difficult to break the cycle. "Everything is okay! Wait, is it too okay? Something bad is coming."
Rutherford and Tendi's discomfort pretending to be a couple made me uncomfortable. They've clearly been sweet on each other for a while. I could have done without forcing them into this pretend couple scenario, and let their relationship develop at its previous pace.
If anything it felt a little like a reality check for all the shippers. I was afraid they were going to play it the other direction, with the two of them actually falling for each other once they were in the position of role-playing. Feels like they set the record straight that the romantic chemistry is not there right now and that it won't be forced.
At least he doesn't have to hold his urine for a whole year. Or worse, convince his adult friends to attend the release ceremony.
Google Maps literally directs me to drive off a bridge all the time. How do I get that fixed?
We also used to call PTSD "shell shock" even though you don't have to go to war to be affected. Science and medicine change and improve over time.
Also those data centers are probably using raid 1+0 so they can just unmount one of the drives since drives in raid1+0 can be hot swappable.
Wat.
I can assure you that's not what data centers are doing, for numerous reasons.
How many extra trees do you need to offset the manufacture of that unnecessary CO2 meter?
