Poor Harry. That knobhead Tom Paris got busted down to Ensign and back up to Lieutenant, meanwhile Harry Kim is a perpetual Ensign and has to be Captain Proton's sidekick.

He’s also doing a job that rated a Lt. Commander’ pips on the Enterprise.
That makes sense since the Enterprise is the flagship and Voyager was a lot lower in the fleet. It would make sense that the flagship would have a lot more experienced crew.
Maybe they did the opposite of what they offered Wil Wheaton: gave Garrett Wang a raise in real life instead of a promotion for his character.
Harry Kim had all the flavor of a chayote popsicle.
Brutal
Edit: lol I read "Chakotay popsicle" which I inferred to be rather flavorless, thus this was a diss on Harry. Now I see it's chayote and I have no idea whether this is flavorless or a diss.
Chayote is a veggie (technically a fruit I guess) that is mostly water and notably flavorless. Now imagine how flavorful a popsicle of it is.
Probably more flavorful than Chakotay, but that's not saying much :)
I’d it a 7 out of 9.
I hope they mention him in the episode where Lower Deckers are promoted. They never shy away from being meta and I love them for it.
Rutherford: is anxious, doesn't know if he's ready for his promotion
Mariner: Listen dude, you've gotta get promoted soon. You don't want to beat Harry Kim's record do you?
Boimler: Yeah, he was in the Delta Quadrant, so it's kind of understandable, but if we take seven years to rank up, it's just sad.
Tendi: Wait, they didn't promote him for seven years? Oh no, is that gonna happen to me? I don't wanna be an ensign forever!
Mariner: Chill out. You're literally already in senior officer training.
Tendi: Oh, right! Phew!
He got to be a Captain in Star Trek Online, at least.
He also got captian in the Voyager alt future didn't he?
BAH GAWD, THAT MAN HAS A FAMILY!
But seriously, how hard would it have been to devote a few minutes of one episode to promote him even if he still had the exact same duties that we saw on screen?
Ever see that pic of Harry Kim laughing with a manic smile on his face while being shot with a phaser?
Sums up his entire character arc.
Out of curiosity, is this instance run by the same people as r/startrek?
To quote TAS computer: "This is for us to know and for you to find out" No, seriously - i remember some talk about the former r/startrek folks wanting to move to lemmy and create startrek.website ...
Edit - i just took a look at the sidebar:
The new home of r/StarTrek, r/DaystromInstitute, and sigh ...r/Risa
So it seems to be so
Yeah, it appears to be trying to look legit, but that doesn't tell us much. I guess I could try making a really softball joke about Disco, and if I get a mod go on a childish power-trip over it, that'll solve the mystery.
Stamets, I'm browsing through Risa today, and your memes are consistently absolute freaking treasures. I just want to thank you for enabling me to avoid responsibilities and reddit.
... I am also acquiring them all.
Just passing on all that I've acquired as well. No Ferengi here.
I'm glad to be able to provide some entertainment. I like making people happy so this is just even better <3
I've been trying to get off of other sites and into fediverse alts. I haven't found an imgur replacement, so I made a pixelfed account. I've basically just been cramming it full of stolen memes. I've never had more available space on my phone! Lol.
I use postimages.org outside of the built in image uploader for this instance. Although Postimages doesn't have nearly the same utilities as Imgur did. Sucks to see reddit and imgur slowly imploding after being around for so long...
It really does. But I'm glad to be finding alternatives, and especially ones that I don't have, like, latent guilt about using. It's nice to use something that isn't corporate for a change.
I'll check out the site. Any other fediverse/noncorporate sites you recommend?
Unfortunately that's all I got. I'm still new to all this myself. Sorry
