OP you scared me for a minute there with that title. I’m glad you actually have talked about marriage with your partner and aren’t springing that level of commitment on her unannounced.

Congrats!

Not an age thing. In the Senate, speeches are addressed to the presiding officer, the President (pro tempe) of the Senate. That it is a similar title to President of the United States is not entirely a coincidence, as the President of the Senate is the Vice President of the United States. Usually VPOTUS is too busy to actually sit in a stuffy room all day, so he lets Senate leadership designate someone to take turns filling the seat and do homework while other blather on.

This makes sense. Another theory is O’Brien’s character had a speech impediment related injury gained during whatever action won him his award.

To be fair, that man is 100 years old. His medicine cabinet must be briming with pills.

When I was a kid, I came up with a theory that the jemhadar had no individual names, like the Borg. Everyone in a jem hadar unit was whatever prefix Remata or Omata etc refered to the name of the unit. Clan was added because they were all a cohort of a dozen or so people. And that the only way to distinguish amongst themselves was their rank, solidifying the whole “order brings victory, victory is life” mantra.

I know now that doesn’t really work but hey, I had fun thinking it up.

No worries. I think you have a valid point and it could also be a weird UT thing going on where Vic’s words are translated idiomatically and not literally.

Space Esperanto

That could be the case here. Vic may be singing in Federation Standard (aka English) and Kira /Odo have learned it after hanging out with the Federation for the last six to seven years. Considering their backgrounds as people who lived in multi-lingual societies (from the Occupation), it wouldn’t be the strangest thing for them to pick up a new language with some off screen effort over the years.

Sweet. Thanks.

Do you know if that’s something you can do on the Voyager app?

As a compromise, why not have a Monday (or any set day, but Monday feels appropriate) mega thread where you go and post like a weeks worth?

You can have a fairly active thread that all of you who enjoy it can stay and for those of us that don’t want the spam can ignore it once a week and move on.

I assure you, I don’t take the show all that seriously. But it’s also possible to not like a stupid web comic for valid reasons.

I seem to have taken up enough of your time. I hope you have a good rest of your day.

Just hear me out. Go and read them. Seriously go and read all 300+ of the comics this weekend or whenever you have time. If you don’t honestly get bored or feel downright empty, I will never post in an O’Brian at Work thread on pain of banning.

I like most of the stuff yall post here, but O’Brian at Work is bad.

It’s just … mean.

None of those characters we watched and love for years would ever act the way they do here. I know the joke is coworkers are terrible and life is meaningless, but it’s too much ennui and nihilism for a fandom dedicated to humanity’s adventuring spirit.

Thank you for offering a reasonable counterpoint. I’m sorry if I came across as rude, of course it’s fun to chat with digital strangers about something that occured years ago. This just isn’t my type of content. But for you other folks this is your 10k experience for the day. I like the fresh memes and the odd Photoshops that is made here.

I grant you that this is an appropriate venue to discuss O’Brien at Work, but at the same time, we don’t need 300+ threads that take up space just like how it did the same thing back in the old reddit Risa days. I liked the series when it came out for the first twenty or so, I truly did. However, the joke just got so old it died, came back and died again more times than Spock, Scotty, Tuvix, and Picard put together.

Seeing the upvotes the post has, I gather I’m in the extreme minority. I hope that in time, the community will grow bored with this craze and move on.

Are we just going to be lazy and post the entire webcomic here?

Wesley figured it out?! Wesley. Wow, this is a new low.
