Edit: I don't really speak french, don't even think I've spelled most of these correctly and I have no idea where the accents go. I think I mostly use the above expressions, since they're occuring in German as well as in English.
Given the desolate state of the US educational system... mhhm, true.
Well given the popularity of the Joker that'll likely change.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
No, really, the books are quite broadly known among the very narrow group of hard sci-fi fans.
Waddaya mean not well known? For me it's in like... the top twenty of french expressions.
I didn't really like TOS (except the movies, those were great) was a big TNG fan (not the movies though, didn't like those), I loved DS9, I was okay with Voyager and basically did not care for anything after, except maybe Lower Decks? Haven't seen SNW yet, will give it a try.
But all of that is just like, my opinion man, you go watch whatever gives you the good feels, I'll not police your opinion.
Except if you like Discovery-Klingons, liking those makes you a garbage-human!🚩
Completely off-topic:
Did not anticipate how hard "We're going on an adventure" would hit me with feelings of horror after reading "Children of Ruin". Good work Tchaikovsky. Holy shit that mix of possession and zombie-horror with perfectly natural explanations in a hard scifi scenario really did a job on me, even years after finishing the book.

To be as obvious as criticising the pope for not being a true catholic the "no true scotsman" would have to be said to William Wallace himself.
Man, that's some good memories.
Yazinda, Durin, Arva von Harben, Tjalf, Melina and Caldrin, I miss you guys.
China unfortunately is such an oppressive and bleak place that nobody wants to go there unless they have to or if they’re doing so accidentally by not realizing what happened to Hong Kong.
That's counterfactual and undermines your argument, the amount of tourists from Japan, the US and EU alone is immense and I fear most of them know, but don't give a shit about Hong Kong (though they really, really should).
