That got me when Trump said he wondered why Biden never cancelled Musk's contracts. Like, my guy... I know you have dementia or whatever, but you do know you gave the man the keys to the US government like five minutes ago, right?

And rightly so. If we ever get back to some semblance of normalcy, anyone who bent the knee should be blackballed from government work.

Yeah, this looks dumb on the surface, but you've got bigger problems if you're trying to do math with strings

Remember, Kif, in the game of chess, you can never let the opponent see your pieces.

Clocks still tick even though most of them are digital nowadays, and the floppy disk is still the universal symbol for saving. We humans love novelty but hate change.

This has always been true, but LLMs have expedited the process by taking the garbage out and sticking it right back into the input.

Nah that's fine. It's good he found an outlet, dating on the holodeck itself isn't a problem. Even if he'd had one of Quark's holosmut programs, it might raise some eyebrows on a starship, but it would ultimately be harmless fun. It was his choice of companion that was creepy, same as Barkley when he had a Troi program.

See, that's fine. If he had taken Guinan's advice to heart and been himself with an actual woman, great! Hell, even if he'd gone with a holodeck character that was fictional or dead, fine! Date Marie Curie for all I care. But dating an "idealized" virtual copy of a fellow Starfleet officer is super creepy.

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't think Geordi's a creep. I just think the writers made him a creep for those two episodes, which is what bothers me.

Man this episode makes me cringe. Although the follow-up is arguably worse, with Geordi getting all indignant that someone would be upset at him dating a holographic deepfake of them. Is it so hard to write someone being socially awkward without making them a total creep?

And so proud of it they watermarked it twice
