No clue what a votey is but I got called out for not including it, so here it be.

I often thought that with all the trouble the Borg go through fighting all the resistance and wars and stuff they could instead just go around asking for volunteers.

Throughout the galaxy they could probably build a decent population this way, and it’s much lower risk.

Well let’s see:

  • No student loans
  • Get to work on the biggest projects
  • Meet new people all the time
  • Get to explore and experience new cultures, lots of travel
  • Get to spend my days with my 10 million closest friends in the universe
  • Never worry about who the president is
  • Retirement isn’t an issue I have to concern myself with
  • Be part of a team, you know?
  • Also freaken robot arm
  • Never have to hear about a sports ball game or a celebrity saying something problematic again

Downsides with rebuttals

  • No individuality? I don’t really get that as it stands
  • Chaffing from implants? Well I am sure they have a cream for that.
  • Don’t get to live in a democracy? I don’t live in one now, I live in a Republic where my vote doesnt matter that has like one election left. What could be more democratic than a collective mind?
  • Live in a giant metal cube with no privacy? I work in a plastic carpeted cube and have to wear headphones to get any work done.

I was on the fence, but the clarity about the chaffing cream has sold me

Create post

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’ and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
