Why do people do this shit to themselves?
I swear if the Borg came down some people would be lining up to join the club.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.

They are tech writers, that’s their job
my private fan theory is that the Borg are actually the good guys but we only ever hear the gReAt fEdErAtIoN’s POV
Journalists? Probably just to see how it will go wrong and report about it so we don‘t have to.
I would be lining up to become part of the Borg tbf. It’s basically giga-socialism
I don’t think you understand what the Borg are about.
Fully providing every single need to their people in an attempt to create the most efficient worker possible? It just so happens that their “work” is assimilating people into the hive, but… The methods surrounding their work are pretty nice.
Amazing. Can’t tell if you’re joking or you are for real.
Amazing. You’ve yet to actually make a point in this conversation, only disparage mine without any counterargument lol
At what point did I mention anything about the hive mind being a good thing? The only thing I praised was the fact that the hive provides homes and sustenance for its workers
If it wasn’t for the whole forcing people thing, they probably would.
Their tech is much better, and you get as close to immortality as you can get, since your body is maintained by their tech, and your mind gets added to the hivemind.
Short of death, you’d never have a medical problem again.
I compared Bee’s version of my day with my diary entry. I wrote about trying Paddington Bear-themed marmalade sandwiches in our office kitchen. (Not a fan. I did, however, note that the strawberry-flavored shortbread cookie was excellent.) I wrote several paragraphs about a sensitive text conversation I had with a friend. Bee never picked up these moments because memorable things aren’t always spoken aloud. It made me wonder: in a hypothetical future where everyone has a Bee, do unspoken memories simply not exist?
I liked reading this part because I had not considered that consumers of these products would have an expectation of their device to document their thoughts.
