Oh hey, would you like to talk about how cool replicators are and their role in helping achieve post-scarcity?
Really because I'm more like this when I find a new trek friend.

I will be your Trek Friend so long as we can talk about the amazing duo that is Quark and Odo.
How about the duo that is Kurzodo and Lumba?
See? Quark has ALWAYS been fierce.
And Odo has always had a trickster streak. He just buried it down super deep because of his PTSD from the shitty spoonheads.
Or doctor and tailor? That show was so good. My memory is shot today though.
Mon capitaine!
i’m TeamJaneway, fite me irl
As a coffee fan, can't disagree.
There's the right way, wrong way, and the Janeway.
I have to buy honest and admit that I prefer my Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
Why, thank you!
Sorry, no coffee but I do have this:
Well done, Number One.
Anyone who isn't Team Q is a loser. Don't @ me
I dunno about that; a race of immortals with effectively all of the same problems as humans but condemned to never die.
de Lancie is pure and rockstar, though. Both JLP & KJ fiting him was awesome.
Don't forget my man Sisko. He literally fights Q.
GODDAMMIT now I gotta rewatch DS9! It was difficult for me to get into at first, but I’m glad I persisted.
It starts out really boring and slow, but damn does it get good!
DS9 is my favorite by far. But what I really like about trek is the variety of shows/mediums there are. We've got long arcs and one-off's, comedies and dramas, diplomacy, action, fighting... And if you get tired of watching there are even books!
All very true! It was also much easier to get into than the other star franchise.
I can live with that.
Came to the comments to search for a fight about our nomenclature. I seem to recall there being some people who'd prefer to be called 'Trekkers' over 'Trekkies'. Anyone remember that?
Only changeling infiltrators care which term you use to describe the fandom. Use whatever tickles your brain, this isn't Starfleet Academy.
This is the correct answer. Unless you’re Cardassian.
I don't know that I'd refer to myself as a hard R trekker.
I wish this was still me. I just got tired of hearing someone say Star Trek across the room, sliding up, and then hearing them endlessly bitch about NuTrek "not being real Star Trek". That or the even worse "When did Star Trek get so political?" opinion.
You seem like a nice guy. Ever consider a career as an air traffic controller at the Albuquerque NM Airport?
would you like to talk about how cool replicators are and their role in helping achieve post-scarcity?
Or how it might be the opposite. I'm in the camp that says it's because humans progressed as a species that they could make a post-scarcity society work. If replicators got invented today some billionaire would just patent it and lock it behind DRM.
Replicators didn't even help humans achieve the post-scarcity society. Humans already had a post-scarcity society by the time they were given replicator technology by another race.
I'm not sure I agree. Replicators are basically just better 3D printers, and those are pretty readily available.
