Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I find the imagery of a bunch of people entertaining themselves to death while non-sentient automated machines pump video into their eyeballs so deeply creepy that I'd like to assume it could never happen on a large scale, since a feeling of "connection" is kind of a big part of art consumption.
But part of me also knows that there will be a non-inconsequential part of society that wouldn't have any problems with it.
