And there it is. The one thing on the Internet that made me laugh audibly today. Bravo 👏

I didn't think there was any Trek that could haunt my brain more than TNG 1x25 Conspiracy did when I was 5.

I was wrong.

It has also been suggested that the average temperature has actually lowered over time due to the average person harboring fewer parasites at any given time.

That, of course, is due to better standards of hygiene, food, and sanitation.

Request denied. All command functions have been routed to Broccoli.

Who knows? I thought it was a good use for the tool.

And then they had the audacity to do it again in season 3 of Picard!

In a world of "humanoid/android/AI/chair/lawnmower explores what it means to be human" it was very refreshing to see "human raised as not-human explores what it means to be human."

Considering the often-abstract nature of these presentations, I thought ChatGPT might be able to give a decent answer:

Great question! Corporate strategy statements and plans serve several purposes in office culture. First and foremost, they provide a roadmap for the organization, outlining its goals, priorities, and the path it intends to take to achieve success. This helps align everyone in the company towards a common direction.

When executives present these plans in meetings, they aim to communicate the company's vision and objectives clearly. By breaking down abstract concepts into actionable steps, they hope to inspire and motivate employees. It's about creating a shared understanding of what success looks like and how each individual contributes to that success.

The use of corporate jargon and abstract language might seem unnecessary, but it often stems from a desire to create a cohesive narrative that resonates with the company's values. It's an attempt to build a sense of identity and purpose among employees.

Moreover, these presentations can serve as a platform for leadership to emphasize the company's commitment to its core values. By highlighting aspects like customer focus, product excellence, and the importance of the workforce, leaders reinforce the company culture and guide behavior.

In essence, these meetings are not just about conveying information; they're about fostering a collective mindset, aligning teams, and creating a sense of belonging and shared purpose. While it may feel like a lot of effort for seemingly vague information, the hope is that employees leave with a clearer sense of direction and motivation to contribute towards the company's success.

It was nice to see them subvert the typical "the entire quadrant/galaxy/universe is at stake" trope.

"I'm dead." As in "I died of laughter."

I don't see its relevance here though.

When I first watched that movie, I was very much BuT iN tHe BoOk ShE LoOkEd LiKe...

But looking back, they made the right call to change the character's appearance. Having her look Legally Barbie truly made her that much more insidious.

Especially the Garak

It's a tie between Mariner and Burnham.

The ship also can't be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there's nothing of substance that connects them all-beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.

Coming back to read this again, it's a bit amusing that the actual answer was right here and was dismissed.

The Unsinkable Molly Brown is still the best Titanic movie.

And Ben-Hur (1959) is still the best Jesus movie.

"Is that the one with Jesus?"

"Well, he's in it, but it's not really about him."

Thanks, first audible laugh all day
