Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.

That seems like a serious gambit. After all you might be part of the program. Much safer to ask for the arch.
Thank you, friend. You may have just saved countless (simulated) lives. Almost tried this myself.
Im gonna risk ending the program gambling on the fact you are the fake one.
Why? You know why. You know what you did. Sinner.
I don't think NPC's can execute command functions on the holodeck.
"Computer, sudo end program"
User is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
"... what?"
Santa puts another name on the "naughty" list
They can if they figure out they're in a simulation. See: Moriarty, Professor
New fear, holodeck + alzheimers combo
Has it happened already? I wonder.
Walk outside? ..... I'm sitting on my couch and I could ask the same thing.
Do not end program or you will fall to the floor, snaccs will disappear, and the cleaning crew will come to empty the biofilters.
Cleaning crew mistakes you as remnants of the biofilter
I note it in my logs as an honest mistake & can't blame lower decks.
However I file a dispute that the safety protocols should not be as strict bcs it flagging me as 'potentially not trash' mere moments before sweet incineration was a major letdown & it totally messed up my day.
The program fades, the familiar grid of the holodeck fills your vision, and your life outside the simulation quickly returns to you. You step outside into the corridor and see your buddy Lieutenant Ross. Capitalism? Genocide? Climate change? What are you talking about? Come on, we're about to go make first contact with a new civilization.
Nah. No way would someone choose to make this reality a holodeck program.
It's an educational program to show how rampant greed and pettiness leads to societal and ecological collapse as those who have stomp on those who have-not, in order to grab everything they can before they blink out of existence from their short, meaningless lives.
A educational program for children.
Unless it's a historical documentary which could explain why we're all stuck on this wild ride and powerless to change its course
Oh god, we're stuck in the last episode of Enterprise.
Weren't the Bell riots supposed to be happening this or next year?
With any luck considering they apparently changed everything for the better.
Im pretty sure I wouldn’t run such a shitty program for so long.
I do the same. Hoping I am just a part of the program.
Fuck! It's not part of my programming to ask for the arch!
Probably should say it as soon as you wake up
I am ashamed to admit having done this more than once. 🤣
"arch"
