The only ARR I know of is Sonarr, Radar, etc. for torrents. If you've spent $30M getting those to work, I think you're missing the point

It was obvious this was going to be the case. You don't accidentally add a journalist to your one secret chat, they get added "by chance" in one of the many mass groups creations.

Real or Replicated, where it's just Sisko's dad ragging on all these uncultured humans that don't eat real food

Since it's already a hot sauce, I think that means you're in for some spicy milk

At press time, McConnell planned to expound on his malevolent personal endeavors in the forthcoming memoir, “Human Impediment: Tales of a Worthless Life, Soon Forgotten.”

Absolutely savage. Hopefully it's also topical

Data is the ND character. Star Trek, and sci-fi and fantasy in general, use characters that are visibly others, to represent diverse human experiences. Check out season 1 episode 16 of the Original Series, the Galileo Seven, in which Spock is in command of an away mission that crashes on a planet's surface, and his Vulcan logic is tested, dealing with the emotions of his crew. To me, it was clearly a portrayal of neurodivergence.

Spock is literally neurodivergent. His genes are hybrid, human and Vulcan, and so, therefore, is his brain. Data and his positronic brain fill that same role in the Next Generation.

Boimler gets associated with the ND characters in the show too, like Data and Spock. The crew of the Carlsbad expected him to be a hovering cube. I think it's definitely intentional

It's clear you don't have the necessary context to understand the plot. Data's character arc spans the entire show. The emotion chip is experimental, and something his original creator specifically didn't install at the time of his creation, because it wasn't ready. There's a prototype of Data as well, called Lore, who does have emotions, but become a violent psychopath. They can't just "make it work," and doing so would defeat the point of it as a plot device.
