Keep wasting my life Stamets. I enjoy the wasteful distraction.

Sometimes it's difficult to parse the technobabble of the show. I had to look this one up, and I found this.

Waste.
noun.
the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; keen pleasure; elation:
She felt the waste of seeing her son's success.

a source or cause of keen pleasure or delight; something or someone greatly valued or appreciated:
Her prose style is a pure waste.

I wasn't aware of the second definition. Sheds new light on a (admittedly not amazing) song by my favorite band!

Actually, I'm partial to Stranger in the Dark.

The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning. It's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you'll be dead.

You would like interdimentional cable.

I need this boiled down to a Latin phrase that I can emblazon on a personal coat of arms.

Bringing joy is never a waste, and memes do that. Unless it's the O'Brian Minion or something similar; that can die by Janeway's hand.

Oh Captain, my Captain!

The time you enjoy wasting is never wasted time.

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Let's face it, given the chance to go back you'd do it all again exactly the same way.

This meme breaks the 180 degree rule and I'm upset.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We all know Q would never let his Capitan die, or Janeway. They're just too much fun. Sisko on the other hand.....

Are you claiming to be Sisko, Stamets?

[–] Zink@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have to comment just to make this meme more true, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

[–] TheGoldenGod@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

On the contrary, I would assume that in this dark timeline, even Q would encourage meme proliferation. You’re keeping us semi-sane!

[–] darthsid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Stamets you are single handedly making my day, every day

[–] gnuplusmatt@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago

And there's that feeling of dread when you remember you will die one day

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Much like Q, you never know what tomorrows meme will be but you know it’ll keep things interesting

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I heard this in Qs voice.
