And, assuming that Scotty survives longer than the events of Star Trek Generations, after being rescued from that transporter, he'll have lived longer than any of them. Pretty sure he hasn't had an in universe death yet which has been stated, but he was still kicking in 2369.

Same, but CADD packages. Every UI is different for each app. Users each have unique configurations of buttons, ribbons, and task windows. Some apps even use completely different terms for identical concepts. Long ago I stopped remembering button and tool placement in autoCAD and just memorized commands because the GUI would completely change with every update and sometimes after a crash.

No longer profitable FOR THE ARTIST. Profit is absolutely being made from touring musicians, it's just not going to the people actually making the music.

Some of these fit your theme better than others and not all are meant to be taken too seriously: Lexx, The Expanse, Final Space, Hyperdrive, The Orville, The Bad Batch, Stargate Atlantis.

That's the joke.

I love feeling feelings. It's the people around me that don't care to much for them usually.

There is no interpersonal conflict allowed in Gene's vision of Starfleet. Oh they might but heads occasionally, but every episode resolves with everyone putting their differences aside to work as a team. It's practically a cult mentality. Gene would not have let them write episodes telling those kinds of Dead-parent/Step-Parent/Oedipal stories. That doesn't exactly excuse the bad writing of the Wesley episodes, but it does explain why the writing did not go to those places.

They let Larry Niven write some episodes of Star Trek: The Animated Series, so now the K'zinti (cat people Niven originally introduced in his Ringworld stories) are canon in the Star Trek Universe. The producer (or maybe director, I don't really remember) of those cartoons was color blind and as a result, those cat like aliens became cannonicaly purple.

Do you realize that every bit of your comment just validated everything the other person said?

Sounds like you eat trash. Most of what I buy from the grocery store is fresh or frozen, pretty much everything else is a slow boring flavorless heavy salted death. I haven't found a service that can automate my grocery shopping to my satisfaction and frankly I wouldn't want to. My weekly meal planning happens in the vegetable department based on what in season, available locally, looks appetizing, etc.

It also sounds like you live alone, not having to contend with other people's changing schedules and laundry needs.

You're automated "easy" life sounds like an empty void. I'm not convinced you're "living" your life at all, just killing time.

Nah, let the computers do the things that they're good at, like calculating time differentials. And let people reference something real, like the sunrise and sunset. The whole daylight savings time vs. standard time is dumb, and political timezones are unfortunate, but any time system becomes meaningless when it becomes too decoupled from the way people actually experience time. I don't care when noon is in Europe, noon will always be roughly midday for me. I don't expect that's an unpopular opinion for anyone that spends any significant portion of their time outside.
