Yes, it's not much different from tipping. Puts the burden of responsibility in the wrong place. If a business wants to support charities and use it in marketing, just give money to charities and tell people how much it was. And/or give people the contact details of the charities if you want to promote them.

I thought the idea was that Republicans are actively working on destroying what has been working fine and is benefitting lots of people, not just on preventing more progress.

AI PC sounds like something that will be artificially personal more than anything else.

Isn't that the goal for some people in meditation? Nothingness.

Just tax revenue and wealth.

Seriously, because she's from a different universe, her actions of committing genocide and torture across any number of star systems are irrelevant?

If Starfleet doesn't care what people do "in their own space", how could they ever have a problem with anything? Just declare yourself a ruler, obviously democracy doesn't play into it, and you decide what you can do anywhere you are.

You mean part of a single episode.

No. They kept her around like she wasn't someone who should be imprisoned for life, far removed from any position where she could manipulate others.

If they wanted to help others, there was a universe full of people more deserving. Two, even.

Not to mention the fact you say after TNG that the older style was dead as if Voyager doesn’t exist.

Yep.

Lucky they made DS9 before TNG had even finished, then.

We didn't really get more of the TNG side of things with the TNG movies. Then they moved on to JJA Star Trek, which wasn't much of anything, not dark, not utopian, just references.

While Discovery was in part based around rescuing an ultra-fascist from another universe.

It took bringing back Picard himself to approach doing what they once did decades ago. And I guess not let the actor have too much say over the script, if that's what messed up the movies.

So presumably he hadn't, because all life in the sea pees there.

Or Poseidon just doesn't like pools, and it's a trick question.

Should be illegal. Same as unpaid internships. Pay workers or don't be a business.

Their options are pack up and leave, or throw down their weapons and surrender.
