Yeah, I keep looking at it, and I can’t figure it out.

Interesting. Cardassian starship weapons are most frequently described as phasers arrays. I can't say for certain it's never said in an episode that they also carry disruptors, but I do know that every time I can remember a shipboard armament on a Cardassian vessel being mentioned, it's a phaser.

The DS9 Technical Manual says the Cardassian ships have spiral-wave disruptor arrays and a large aft disruptor cannon -- presumably that's what the pincer like structure on the back is supposed to be -- but the DS9 Tech Manual is also...not up to the standard of quality established by the TNG Technical Manual.

Now I kinda want to check.

Edit: Obviously also not canon, but the Star Trek Adventures Core Rulebook lists the Galor-class as having both phasers and disruptors.

Ah, but if you’re playing Star Trek Adventures, a one on the die counts as two successes.

Buddy, the fact that you removed “algorithmically” when you quoted me does not mean it wasn’t important to my statement. The difference is when an actual human does it, there is time and energy -- even if minimally so -- expended to communicate an idea. It is a transformative work.

An algorithm doesn’t have any ideas to communicate, and neither does the person using it, because if they did they would do so, as opposed to letting a machine spit out some trash and talking about how amazing it is.

You sound so dumb. You really don’t understand and that’s ok

Why don’t you explain it to me?

Nope, there are no official rules here, but that doesn't mean everything is going to fly.

If there's one thing I hate more than low effort content, it's low effort content algorithmically generated by scraping the internet and stealing the work of actual artists.

No, but it is my first time moderating one. Y'all need to the Prophets.

What is unclear?

Any a.i. generated art posted to this community will be removed.

It is a parody of WWII propaganda posters warning military personnel to avoid "loose women" lest they contract an STI.

The same is true for two Rikers. That’s the entire point of the episode; that despite them diverging at the point of the cloning into two different people, they are still the same person and need to live with that.

I don't think that as the point of the episode. As their lives diverged their interests and desires did so as well. They were similar, yes, but still different people. Will was promoted after successfully evacuating the people of Nervala IV and he became focused on his career. Thomas was stuck on Nervala IV thinking of the woman he left behind, and when he's rescued he wants to rekindle that relationship whereas Will let it fizzle.

To say nothing of Thomas eventually choosing to join the Maquis. That is not something we'd ever see from Will.

Will: Good luck, Will.
Thomas: I actually thought I might go with the name Thomas.
Troi: Your middle name.
Will: I guess we really are different. I never really cared for that name.
Thomas: Well, I sort of like it. I guess I'd better get going.

What do you not get?
