The original, Blue Raspberry.

A cluster duck, if you will.

I cried watching Measure of a Man. It’s a gift to humanity. But Ad Astra Per Aspera clearly overtakes it imo. It doesn’t ask just about the implications of the law, but about what it - and society, and its constituents - should aspire to be. It’s less about military codes and an individual’s selfishness (Maddox), telling a more universally applicable story still firmly entrenched in Trek lore.

By that logic, I should take it up with the delivery guy; both he and the reseller simply passed-through a sealed product.

Ah yes, I must’ve used ChatGPT to generate the photos of it being sold in a sealed box. And the ebay account listing. And the receipt.

I could just make up a receipt from an authorized reseller. What kinda proof is good enough? Do these items degrade in a sealed box? If so, why track the warranty from resale date instead of manufacturing date? If not, photo evidence of a sealed box on sale should be sufficient imo.

The reality is, this sort of resale is common, is hardly more risky than with authorized resellers, and deserves greater consumer protections.

Can we call communities “lemlets?”
