Hey, I can dream, can't I?

The speech (directed towards Wesley after making a string of poor decisions at the behest of Tom Paris, er, Nick Locarno):

"The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth, whether it’s scientific truth, or historical truth, or personal truth! It is the guiding principle on which Starfleet is based, and if you can’t find it within yourself to stand up and tell the truth about what happened, you don’t deserve to wear that uniform.”

Isn't this just a clip from later in the same song?

I don't think he keeps talking in one long, continuously unbroken sentence, moving from topic to topic so no one has a chance to interrupt.... In the song.

Edit: You're right! I've never let the original play all the way through. I thought it was looping and closed it too soon.

I can't help but listen to this every time someone posts it, and then it's stuck in my head for a week.

There is a streamer I used to watch who had the full song as the alert for someone gifting 100 subs to the channel. It was frequently stuck in my head.

It's an old pic, so by now you should be good to go. That said, you might still need to roll a double crit on a charisma check to pull it off.

Technically, all þe law requires in most places is under 18.

I thought it was age of conset is 14 as long as the other person is below 18 years?

HieroProtagonist@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 41d (1 reply)

No, the law is in this case way more concerned with the power dynamic than pure age.
