Darmok appears to be shockingly uninfluential in the current GenAI NLP/AI community.

Would love to be proven wrong!

I retort in regards to Kira literally all of the excellent mirror universe episodes and the one where they play bond villains in the holodeck with Bashir and Garek the hero's. Kira can play a good foil to herself. I think folks may get exasperated with a lot of the backstory around bajor in the early seasons.

Jadzia I agree is marginally weaker than some of the others, but I do think that a permanent trill character was very good for story writing, plus eye candy, plus relationship with word was okay. At least she was a hell of a lot better than sad replacement character from the last season.

Come to think of it, the OP may have simply seen a few of the last season episodes which get pretty bad.

All of Gen Z wants to look like a mix of 70s rockers and Ron Jeremy. No idea why mullets and the ugliest facial hair are in right now. Must be related to the flared jeans.

What the heck are you on about? Who’s the bad actor here?

They’re all excellent. Is Garek the bad actor? O’Brian? The doctor? Kira? The security chief? Quark?

I claim you’re wrong/delusional if you want to critique the acting in ds9. It has some problems, but acting quality is the high point of Star Trek in ds9 - because at least there’s no Wesley crusher (and yes siskos kid is more compelling than Wesley!)

For anyone somehow in this comment thread who didn’t watch Star Trek ds9, if you liked next gen you will probably like ds9 for all the same reasons (and many new ones)!

Often Picard is compared to Kirk, but I find comparing Picard to sisko to be the much more interesting one.

Picard and Sisko are both excellent, thoughtful, nearly everything you say - and sisko still is quite not happy with Picard given th circumstances of the battle against the borg they fought in together!

High birthrates from backwater groups are canceled out by high technologically embracing groups having increasingly long lifespans.

The singularity happening should imply significantly longer human lives. Some might argue that the first “immortals” are already born.

Unfortunately most of these Gen Z’s (well, the men) are actual incels. As such, the only thing they get to fuck is their hands

These are the same thing often times. Venezuelans made more money bottling GP in RuneScape than they did in their home country working real jobs.

I unironically want this world as soon as possible.

You are absolutely a Luddite. Embrace it, don’t deny your true nature.

This is bunk/nonsense. Despite dentists ostensible having ethical standards, they are literally worse than lawyers on being scammers, charlatans, cranks, etc

Your definition would include Chiropractors as a profession. Such scum of the earth deserves nothing but contempt with extreme prejudice.

Massively overcrowded. Not enough individual bathrooms (I.e for those with shy bladder), terrible food, terrible lounges.

That’s why no one uses it and it sucks.
