That is totally how my cat sleeps, for whatever reason she likes to flop with her head dangling

Picard came down to personally promote him but since he abandoned his post he's now getting demoted.

The ensign Kim treatment.

I like to imagine he gets back to the transporter room holding the Speedo

"OBrien to Riker, are you ready to receive your bathing suit?"

"Sorry chief, I forgot speedos are optional down here. Why don't you go ahead and keep it, I'll replicate a new one if I need."

Yeah, I imagine this interaction with Data would go more like:

“Chief OBrien, is it not true that humans prefer to go to a party with people they like? Since that is true, my party would not be successful if I had invited you.”

Wrinkles and laugh lines are just the consequences of a life lived. Really we should celebrate them.

Nobody cares that a 50 year old doesn’t look 20. Meanwhile each laugh line indicates days filled with joy.

No disagreement there.

I’ve always felt we should retest frequently even for healthy young people.

Traffic laws change. Street signage changes. Car safety features change.

It’s in all of our best interest that people aren’t driving with 25 year old ideas and 25 years of bad habits.

The most awkward episode? (lemmy.ca)
 

TNG S4E16 Galaxy's Child

This episode has so much cringe in it.

Geordie setting up a meeting and trying to make it into a date is a lot. Plus omitting that he had the computer summarize her files to resolve a critical crisis, while using the information he got from her file in discussing with her is not good.

Brahms does an excellent job letting him down and putting up firm boundaries.

But oh god, when she discovers the holodeck program, and then Geordie rant!

It's tough to watch in a totally different way than the Quark Gender swap episode.

How come Data has rights but not the legacy EMH? (lemmy.ca)
 

I just watched Measure of a Man, they rule Data has the right to choose. But in Voyager the EMH gets relegated to forced servitude. Why? Doesn’t that violate precedent?

Poilievre says 'biological males' should be banned from women's sports, change rooms and bathrooms (www.cbc.ca)
 

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre stepped into the debate over trans rights on Wednesday, saying "biological males" should be banned from women's sports, change rooms and bathrooms.

"Female spaces should be exclusively for females, not for biological males," Poilievre said in Kitchener, Ont.

The Conservative leader made the comments after being asked if, as prime minister, he would introduce legislation to prevent "transgender women" or "biological men" from participating in female sports or entering female prisons and shelters.

"A lot of the spaces … are provincially and municipally controlled, so it is unclear ... what reach federal legislation would have to change them," Poilievre said.

"But obviously female sports, female change rooms, female bathrooms should be for females, not for biological males," he added.
