So Larian is calling attention to predatory employment practices, as they have done before, and this time they’re doing it by comparing the situation to predatory sales practices, and criticizing them in the comparison

Shut up, Wesley

And the telepathic pitcher plant!

Yeah, that’s true. Could be that only senior officers can program recipes, or maybe the Cerritos has special rules. They were under heightened security after the Pakled attacks, and also, considering the Buffer Time episode, Captain Freeman is definitely the kind of captain that would make rules about that. And the Cerritos seems like the kind of crew that would need them lol

They can probably upload all their own recipes from a Padd anywhere they go

This isn’t how replicators work at all. We know they have tons of different versions of individual recipes, and that you can program your own recipe if you want something custom. The way the shows discuss replicated food, it seems like it just straight up doesn’t taste as good, but probably only very slightly, to the point you can’t really tell the difference if you’ve mostly eaten replicated food your whole life

There could be hundreds of versions of each individual dish.

Not just could be. We know there are. In the first episode or two episode of Voyager, Tom tries to order tomato soup from the replicator, and it asks him a ton of questions because there are like a hundred different versions of tomato soup, including Bolian style, meaning not only are recipes kept modern, they even include alien takes on other species’ meals! I wonder if Klingon replicators can make Rhaktajino DS9 style

The university I went to told us not to bother with unpaid internships, because it’s just a sign the company doesn’t care about you. Paid internships pretty much always still give college credit.

Counterpoint. I love when Janeway is a badass

Oh, hell yeah. My second favorite episode. Gotta love the phaser rifles. They take two hands!

IIRC, that timeline was pretty stressful, so I think it’s fair

Maybe he’s too used to whatever science-magic they have in place as a safety

Makes sense, since Star Fleet probably can’t decide that unilaterally for the entire Federation

“Double indemnity!”

It looks like easy co-op fun though. I love Gears of War co-op, just because it’s super easy to get into with a couple of friends.

I cannot wait for Walz vs. Vance. Vance seems like what these people are, distilled. It’ll be poetic to watch him get torn apart by a teacher

This will start to protect some people, and bring awareness to the issue, allowing for further regulation in the future, once public demand for it has increased

Inspector Kashyk: “You created false readings!”

Janeway: “Oh, wasn’t that the theme for the evening?”

From Counterpoint, my favorite episode

Sokath, his eyes uncovered!

Yes. That’s why in “best of” type posts, the real original poster is the OOP
