My greatest apologies, but I have had to downvote your comment due to the unauthorized promotion of illegal content such as firearms. Ergo, I recommend you do not promote firearms in the future unless you are authorized to own one per se, and that it is permitted in the subreddit. If you write an apology as an edit in your post, then I will retaliate and remove the downvote
Edit: So, we’re gonna downdoot me for disclaiming that you shouldn’t break the law? Alas, henceforth, you leave me with no option but to report to the proper authoreties

Edgy, using tragedy for a joke. Bet the other 11th graders think you’re pretty funny.

Dude, where do you think you are right now?

I love the Voyager feature that marks accounts under 30 days old so you can easily spot trolls and ignore them.

Um yeah, they are degrading to my image. I have to keep a good profile

Honestly, I never understood why a counselor would be on that spot. A linguist? Why not. Historian? Absolutely biologist/chemist? Understandable. Counselor? Nah-uh
I think there’s a lot of value in quickly profiling enemies and anyone else you deal with.

Yeah. She’s an empath that can size up the adversary over a FaceTime call. Pretty awesome advantage!
- admiralteal ( @admiralteal@kbin.social ) 8•1 year ago
One would think that it is important for a ship’s counselor to remain pretty detached from the day-to-day decision-making of the crew. That it would be a very bad idea for the counselor to be regularly fraternizing with what are basically her patients.
I wonder how this works in, for example, the Navy.
- GregorGizeh ( @GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip ) English6•1 year ago
Same goes for doctors and such, seems a bit awkward for the enterprise crew to be friends with their doctor. Imagine having a drink with your gynecologist, or in case of riker, someone who most likely has treated him for at least one alien VD.
Or just the more general awkwardness of having your therapist and doctor around all the time, always aware of your lifestyle. Like, getting scolded by Beverly for your shitty eating habits during checkup and then she runs into you in 10 forward while you are trying to inhale a piece of cake.
- skulblaka ( @skulblaka@kbin.social ) 5•1 year ago
Well, they’re all basically locked in a submarine, but way worse. You’re in a sealed box hurtling through space. You need a doctor on board, and you need a counselor on board. If you don’t want both of them to go completely insane, both of them also need friends and social interaction.
While I agree that Starfleet levels of general fraternization are a lot looser than in modern military, I also think it’s just kind of something you learn to live with when you serve on a ship.
- Doug [he/him] ( @Doug@midwest.social ) English2•1 year ago
I think we’re, at least, led to believe that Starfleet officers are better adjusted than your average early 21st century human. For example, we don’t see a lot of gossip behind Riker’s back about how he gets around, but you very probably would today.
It may still not be ideal, but I think it would be less problematic than it would be for us.

i’ve never served in the Navy or even been on board ship, but fraternization between officers and enlisted in all services is pretty strictly forbidden… and counselors and therapists would probably be officers in most cases… but casual socialization is normally totally off limits… simple reason being, officers have to order enlisted people into danger, so there can’t be appearance of favorites…
fraternization among the officers is normal, though and has been part of life aboard ships forever
