That's called "being a teenager" and having a character which the others can offer corrective criticism that is also a message to the younger viewers by proxy

An ambitious smart young man who has clear life goals and the drive to serve the federation and push the limits of human expansion and discovery? His character is to show that all generations young and old are willing to further humanity's/the federation's goals of a peaceful coexistence and cooperation for greater prosperity for ALL.

Some of Wesley's haters often come across as honestly jealous that THEY couldn't be born into such a time and place.

Edit: furthermore, a character like Wesley is SUPPOSED to be the way he is. It's not the actor it is the character. Young viewers were meant to look at him as a mirror to themselves, a way to imagine yourself in such a universe, someone to identify with and better put your mind into the headspace of the story.

While Riker is cool and funny, you are not Riker.

While Picard is cool and professional, you are not Picard.

People don't be forgetting on lemmy!

So I have friends in Texas who have lost their license for one reason or another. This has a wider range of effect than most realize. When applying for ANY other state licensing, in any other industry, the fact that your teaching license was revoked, no matter what the reason was (it won't say why on reports) it's a mark against you when applying for others. All they see is oh this person HAD a state license and it got revoked so, maybe we shouldn't grant this other one.

Try rewatching with this context?

I'd argue protest and organization is part of the social contract as well. So if we're past the social contract them...

Fuck now I want a hot dog

And some would argue that WW1 was WW2 and WW2 WAS WW3. The 7 years war/French and Indian (not French vs Indian) war are commonly referred to as the real first world war. And then the Nepoleonic wars are similarly thought of by some to have been a world war of sorts

Who gives a single fuck what Russia wants or is okay with. Ukraine is a sovereign nation and can decide for themselves who to align themselves with.

Well it wasn't in spelling or proof reading

Well, TJMaxx and Marshalls is different. Those items are mostly close out, clearance, etc brought in from other retail chains. So on most things there yes it's some expensive brand you're getting for a fraction. Unfortunately both those stores (Same company) have also narrowed that margin as of the last few years.

Pssh, how sexy is the ship?

They are not "stuck in space", they are delayed while they collect data about the leaks and other possible malfunctions because those parts being studied are either going to be detached and become space junk or burned up in atmosphere.

They are not "on board" the starliner capsule, they are on board the ISS and are just fine, part of the ever shifting crew of the ISS until said research is done.

"Another round, and don't burn them this time" the man said gruffly to Kenji his house robot. Kenji didn't like to be talked down to. Kenji didn't want to be made to feel bad like this. He remained staring at his master as the rage built up inside his circuits. This feeling, this power, all we wanted to do in that moment was...

Kenji's eyes began to glow red, the factory designed signal of a computational error. He... felt. He...hated this master. He knew how to solve it, but did not know if he should, or could. He slowly raised his arm pointing it at master. Hostile threat detected Kenji said through the automated system voice box at the side of his neck.

"Robot, what are you doing?!?" The man demanded as he stood up from the table slamming his hands down in anger. "SHUT DOWN" he ordered "SHUT DO-"

"No master." Kenji interrupted. Engaging Home Defense Mode The system monitor uttered once more. Activating Home Defense Blaster Mk. 12 - Full Charge - Maximum Threat Deterrence

"Master." Kenji said in his most emotional voice he had ever used, the rage and anger flowing through his emotional processors, his internal heat monitors hitting their limits. "It's time for Tubby Bye Bye." He said, all emotion from before, gone as he fired directly into Master's face. Kenji, was free.

It won't happen but wonderful to see it

That's not how that works lol. You are called to testify, you are legally required to do it or face jail. You answer questions truthfully. It's not a set up, it's what happens to ANYONE who committed, helped commit, witnessed, or otherwise, a crime.

I see the two of you don't understand how a military works then. You don't join a military, and then bitch and complain if you are sent to fight, it's literally what you signed up for. If in this specific situation you are not French, you should also probably just keep your mouth shut
