Nah, I know for a fact 2/3 of my kills were luck, and the other 1/3 is new players.

I know for a fact I'm opinionated, and don't have problems sharing them.
Please, by all means, block me if you think seeing my comments is adversely affecting you. I'd rather be ignored by someone than make their day worse (unless they're actively trying to make others miserable, but that's a separate discussion)
The fediverse has definitely gotten a little less hostile after blocking a few things.
And remember you can jump ship to another instance at any time! I've hopped a few times but for now my instance is filling my needs without much drama that I am aware of.
Kim and Torres were guests of the Ocampa, and Kess knew how to get in and out of the shielded area. The Kazon were in the area but not directly involved yet.
So by beaming her up immediately, they would have had far more time available to do thing.
Now, whether they ask the right questions quickly enough to get in and out of the caves/cracks Kess got out through, who's to say.
Either way, if I recall correctly, the kazon knew not to fuck with the Caretakers station, so while I'm sure they would eventually have tested it to see if anyone was still home, it wouldn't have been as quick.
Ultimately I believe if Neelix had been truthful, the crew would have had enough time to figure out how to send themselves back to the alpha quadrant, and possibly been smart enough to set spatial charges to blow it up soon after they left to make sure the kazon don't get their hands on it.
I think it's important to remember that they are very much human, and people do inhumane things.
Let's not delve into the nazi "we're just exterminating vermin" rhetoric. We are very much wanting actual people to suffer.
Note: I don't consider that a bad thing. They would happily cast the first stone, and I'm more than happy to shoot back. Don't start shit, won't be shit. MAGA just doesn't know how to go about the "don't start shit" part, and I don't think anyone should feel guilty about them fucking around and finding out. It's a pity they have to drag so many down with them.
"other people have it better, so stop being so happy!"
See how that sounds when you flip the sadness around?
Just because someone else's situation might be objectively worse than yours, does not for a second discount the situation you are in.
If my wrist breaks, I still have a broken wrist no matter how many people got their arms cut off.
Don't feel guilty.
I don't see anyone shitting on younger generations.
All I see is someone expressing what many in the younger generation are feeling. Like everything the older generations faced is happening again. Like the world is on fire and everyone is pretending it's fine. And they're wondering why nobody is as concerned as they are.
In other words, "WTAF is going on?!?!"
