Sad trombone telekinesis

I feel like it'd make gift giving more difficult, but more meaningful- you would have to give people actually customized things, something you made or something you think they need that they haven't noticed. Harder, but shows more thought than giving generic-consumer-item#528

I know this is a meme, just made me think

There’s a scene in one TNG episode (before Miles & Keiko’s wedding?) in which Worf is at a console display scanning through option to replicate for a gift. It stuck with me.

Data: ... a penny for your thoughts

[–] IzzyData@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago

What's with that one episode where Data expressed emotions briefly and Deanna was able to sense it? That makes very little sense. 😅

Is the joke that she’s more of a telepath than a telekinetic?

[–] exscape@kbin.social 10 points 10 months ago

A telekinetic can move stuff with their thoughts. So they can count on the abacus with their thoughts.

Bravo I say. Bravo!

It took me just a little too long to get that, but in fairness I haven't had any caffeine yet.
