I have legitimately always been confused by the bodega thing for the same reason.
We have several chains that do exactly that and they're just called "corner stores".
"You can get eggs, toilet paper, and Gatorade"
Damn, that's called a Spar, or Premier, or Londis.
The more the Batarians get genocided the nicer they become lol
It's heavily implied in 3 that they'll become good aliens after their entire civilisation was destroyed.
I like Taris a hell of a lot more than Peragus. At least there's quests and such on Taris, a bit of variety.
Harry goes from the "kid under the stairs" to essentially being infinitely rich as far as the story is concerned. He is instantly a millionaire in Book One. Money is literally never a problem in the books except when it is for no reason whatsoever.
The thing I like about T&T versus the new TOS-era Trek stuff is that T&T knows that TOS looks like crap, but it plays around with it and it feels very humble when showing its roots. It appreciates the old show while also poking fun at it.
Kurtzman Trek feels like it's embarrassed by the fact that Star Trek was once a show that had buttons glued to cardboard sets and blinky lights, and the ship was a cute little model that flew past the camera. It's just like "actually TOS never happened, everything was always cold blue-tinged steel and all displays and consoles were all floating holograms (don't get me started on how much I hate transparent holograms as a display and touchscreen), and everyone was zipping around at infinite speed and all ships had a shuttle contingent of 10,000 (if that shitty Season 2 finale of DIS is to be taken seriously)". Oh, and we also just have all this technology that people in the older shows said was brand new but now it's been around for a century. Riker walking into the holodeck with wonder and awe was because he was an idiot who never saw this 100-year-old technology. What a dipshit.
Even the edgiest the show got in Berman-era with ENT still had a fair amount of care put into it to show that it was still a TOS-prequel. A great deal of attention was paid to the set to make it look both futuristic for the 00s but also like a precursor to sci-fi from the 60s. DIS and PIC just look like every other shitty sci-fi property out there.
There's no love. They just treat old-Trek like something that you can harvest images, references, and iconography from.
If you don't have time to walk, try running or jogging. Not only is it faster but it's a lot better for improving cardio. I went from jogging and walking on/off to damn near jogging the whole time in the span of just a few weeks.
This is one of those things that's just unknown and vague enough that it can't be cringe.
If someone asks you what it is you can just say "oh it's a cute bear cos I like them" .
