I’m imagining some private in the Babylon 5 universe posting starfury blueprints for internet points, and how people would have eviscerated the show for that being unrealistic. Truth really is stranger than fiction.

Truth really is stranger than fiction. Closest thing I can think of is the Star Trek DS9 episode where a Starfleet officer becomes a suspect in serial killings because he was a collector who was one of the only people to use the replicator patterns for a Federation-designed gunpowder firearm that had never been officially deployed, simply because of the novelty. That or imagining Quark running holosuite programs striving for accuracy and not realising he'd accidentally created a zany scheme for intel gathering until Garak congratulates him.

Quark was 100% collecting compromat. Odo was into some _weird_ loving poo poo, which is why Quark’s place never fully got shut down.

That episode was stupid because it introduced a weapon that could be fired from anywhere and hit anything and a device that allows you to see through walls, and it was never mentioned again

Transporters can undo aging, making anyone effectively immortal. 2. Transporters can produce perfect clones. 3. The medium we use to communicate across interstellar distances is inhabited by aliens. 4 Any Federation holodeck can produce superhuman AGI. 5. Warp drive is destroying the universe. Now let us never speak of this again.

Quark kept things interesting without being inclined to do things that would set the station on fire. At least not on purpose.

You knew the crime was serious if Quark wasn't involved. Quark just wants to get or stay rich. Not like he's murking ambassadors to cover up manufactured evidence...

Steezo posted:You're thinking of the john birch society weirdos. No, it was specifically mentioned both in the book as the forerunner and catalyst for the political system in universe, and by Heinlein personally in determining the Veteran Citizen system in universe. In a reading of just the text, there is no overt racism except to the bugs. They go out of their way to point out every single person- no matter color, creed, physical deformity, whatever- so long as they can understand the oath, they can gain citizenship. The main character isn't White.

My kid just got a 52 on the ASVAB (a perfectly average score). What's a good MOS for doing your minimum years and then getting a civilian career? Also, what are all the things we hosed up and didn't do that I should make sure she does?

Air Force. I was in the Army stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord and people on the Air Force side of the base actually sometimes had smiles on their faces. Army morale seemed in the gutter when I got out in 2020 and doesn't seem like much has changed in that regard since then.
