It’s just a suggestion, if you’ve already started DS9 I would just stick with that tbh.

Basically two reasons.

First, DS9 is straight up better. Peak Star Trek in my opinion, so it’s nice to end on a high note. Again, not that VOY is bad or anything, but if DS9 is 10/10 Star Trek VOY is more like 8.5/10.

Second reason is world building. Really there isn’t that much overlap as far as specific parts of the story is concerned, it’s more that DS9 is so great because it turns some things that are taken for granted on their heads. VOY is useful because it kind of goes into that direction a little bit, with the conflicts that necessarily arise on a small ship far from home, and because you literally just learn more about the world/universe, whatever you want to call it, and the more context you have the better DS9 gets.

Very minor spoiler, both shows feature conflicts with the Marquis and the contrast, as well as the lack of contrast on how these conflicts are handled is very interesting.

I would at least touch on VOY, it needs a bit to get going, just like TNG I suppose, but it’s solid. And the big, big payoff is watching DS9 after that. DS9 is fantastic, but it only gets better with the context from VOY and TNG.

Oh no it’s true, not all republicans are Nazis.

Some are just sympathisers.

I know what you pretend you mean, nobody is falling for that.

Fuck off to your sad shithole, nobody has any obligation to be nice to Nazis. To the contrary, every decent person should feel obligated to strongly tell them to fuck off. You don’t have a space here, we don’t want you here, you are not welcome.

We’ve seen this spiel a few times, companies want to move to the cloud and then don’t because it’s ridiculous and plenty of things are just fine on local machines.

I don’t lend this any more credence than all the “we’ll all be gaming in the cloud in 10 years” crap when stuff like GeForce Now was popping up.
