My favorite analogy is: You don't have to choose what's for dinner, but you're going to be forced to eat whatever was chosen.
Ever since I was old enough, I've voted in every single election I was eligible for. I don't care what people say or how unlikely it was for my candidate to win, I would still get out and vote.
All of these American examples are missing a key part of the Isekai genre which is power fantasy. 99% of Isekai involves the MC being an overpowered self-insert character that has a harem of sex slaves.
I consider Isekai and other world to be different aspects of the same basic concept.
This happens to me a lot. I'll watch something and really enjoy it only to find out it got terrible reviews. It's really annoying because it usually means the series I like all get cancelled after a couple of seasons.
These articles pop up occasionally about people losing their jobs because it was revealed they have and OnlyFans account and I just don't understand what all the fuss is about. This guy thinks he can't be arrested because he saw her having sex with her husband!?! At least the Mayor seems to have a bit of common sense regarding this.
Transporters are inconsistent in how they work in Star Trek. The transporters work however the writers of the episode need it to work for the plot. Sometimes it's a clone machine and sometimes it's something else.
The Barclay episode I was referring to was Realm of Fear.
There was that one episode with Barclay that showed he was conscious during transport and also showed that people could exist inside the matter stream (or whatever the technobabble is).
I just created an account there and when it came time to add books, a whole bunch of books I read didn't even show up. I'll have to look more into it when I have more time.
It's such a crazy display on just how advanced the Federation really is that a small group of rogue Star Fleet officers were able to successfully leapfrog the cloaking tech to such a degree. There was another episode where the Romulans tried and failed to create that same technology but I can't remember if it was before or after Pegasus.
In DS9, a Vorta makes a comment about Star Fleet engineers being able to turn rocks into replicators and he really wasn't that far off.
You could also do 6*50 and then divide by 100.
