Someone with functioning eyesight wearing the VISOR would just get a mishmash of nonsensical information. Their real senses clash with what the VISOR is sending them. Coincedentally it’s also the exact same reason for another side effect. Pain. Despite Geordi not being able to see, his eyes still sort of fought the VISOR and caused him constant pain. It also had the ability to be hacked which isn’t a great option.

Which is one of the arguments against the Federations ban on genetic manipulation. There are plenty of others against it. There’s no one answer to this situation, unfortunately.

I dunno, says right there that it is

Patrick has been telling this story for a while at the panels, Frakes and others will tell it too. Sometimes it comes with that caveat and sometimes not. I’ll see if I can find the clip where he talks about that.

I’m sorry but you seem to be mistaken.

Billionaires are a different species and we don’t have enough research data to refer to in order to determine what mental illnesses, if any, they might have.

Don’t lump them in with the rest of humanity because they aren’t even people anymore. They are inhuman scum that has mistakenly evolved. A fucking virus. We went out of our way to eradicate smallpox but unfortunately we haven’t successfully purged Billionarisim from humanity. I genuinely do not care how that is done. I don’t care. They need to be removed from society at all possible costs before they destroy it.

Let it be known, however, that Gene did say this after aggressively petitioning against Patrick Stewart as Captain. His baldness was specifically mentioned. According to Patrick anyway

That isn’t happening though.

Geordi is blind, Julian was genetically engineered to remove a learning disability and Tilly is stated as having special needs while being aggressively autistically coded.

The only one that doesn’t have something directly pointing towards it is Barclay but that man is the textbook definition of Aspergers Syndrome and people have been saying it for decades. It’s not like his issues are minor either. They’re a significant core component of the character.

My applause is begrudging.

I did that with booze for a few years. Yeah… I had to learn Russian to pummel the fuck to death. My fault for choosing vodka as the poison of choice.

It’s a cardboard yu-gi-oh duel disk. This is the video the thumbnail is from.

The only thing I can think of whenever I hear that is, hilariously, an episode of Fairly Odd Parents.

Timmy wished for everyone to be a grey blob so racism couldn’t exist. People still kept saying they were grey-er or blobbier.

People just gonna hate.

Yeah. Hard to believe someone else nerdy could be happy and in a relationship when they’re not.

They’re not totally wrong either, just missing a step and leaving a gap.

Genetic engineering is strictly outlawed in the UFP which came about from the Eugenics wars.

Aww look at that. Poor lil baby can’t handle it’s delusions being shaken.

Fuck your feelings.

I’m not dismissing your opinion. I’m dismissing the tone-deaf and whiny way with which you voiced it. Grow up and engage with reality lol

Bye kiddo!

Well, there’s a couple of flaws with your conclusion.

The first is that I didn’t say whether or not I believed it. That is irrelevant to the situation which is your own behavior.

The second point is that being entertained by something does not mean inherently believing it. Someone can enjoy something without thinking it’s pure truth. If you want to argue that fact then I really suggest you never watch a scary movie because you could end up being mistakenly beliving it’s true and them becoming a serial killer!

Your comment is valid in the sense that it’s allowed to be made. It’s invalid in the sense that it, well, doesn’t make any. It’s a self centered view on the world that acts like you are the be-all and end-all of what gets to be judged. Moreover, you don’t seem to be able to grasp the concept of false entertainment for fun. Seems like a really sad world honestly. Only ever able to watch documentaries. You know. Because reality matches it so you’re not being ‘deluded’.

Clown.

They still added more content and something more interesting than a pessimistic dismissive comment.

I do not understand this type of shit. Just… get on with your life. Is it so empty that you need to focus on negative things and complain about them?

Edit: For the clarification needed, @seeyouatthepartyrichter initially said the typical “this 100% happened” thing.

Then they doubled down and said anyone who believed this type of stuff was a fool expecting ‘reality to match their delusion’. They then insisted they weren’t going to read anything posted and kept shrieking at the top of their lungs like a 5 year old child.

Same! God they’re so fucking cute and adorable

They do?! Oh my god they’re even cuter than imagined.

Edit: So I went looking on youtube and found out they don’t really like to be held. They typically hide and stuff BUT this dude has the cutest lil skink ever. Jumps up for treats and comes running! There’s just something beautiful and sweet about that type of trust between an animal with no hints of domestication at all and a person.

Here’s the youtube short.
