It's like 95% of male profiles. Bad selfies and the only picture of them taken by someone else is them holding a fish.

Quark had a better safety record because he's not human, and safety is intuitive to most species. Not humans.

Humans are wild hungry barbarian thrill monkeys. Safety protocols on the holodeck were probably at Vulcan insistence after they watched us detonate a warp core inside a sun to see what would happen.

This isn't just in Star Trek either. In Stargate they find a gate orbiting a black hole, nearly destroy the earth, and then later on when we find a species they don't like, we give away those coordinates as a prank. Among others. We used that same gate to cause a supernova somewhere else just to see what would happen.

It does!

It's worth noting that the minimum wage in Texas is the same as the federal minimum wage. Which is now, not enough to buy a meal at McDonald's after an hour.

That's really not true either. They don't take issue with technology.

They have cell phones and washing machines. Some Amish communities just look like any old country highway with pickup trucks and harvesting equipment.

The particular type of Amish you're thinking of will still have things like landlines and probably some electricity on the farm.

They take issue with depending on others, Amish strive to be self sufficient and independent. They don't want to attach themselves to possessions, or things they can't make and maintain themselves, but that doesn't mean they can't use them. They can and gladly do. They have rules on their use, they self regulate their use. Guy I went to school with has his wife go through and look through his phone. If she thought the was using it too much she'd hang on to it. He drove an old pickup and he and his brothers ran a junk yard part time specifically so he'd have access to parts for it. He was going to school to be a machinist, because there was a machine shop in his community and he didn't want to bother the elders with learning how to use it. Soon as he finished the precision machine program he just went back to his farm.

We do get overtime pay, this rule was for a very specific segment of workers who were exempt. Being salaried and making under a certain amount. Hourly employees get time and a half for every hour past 40 in a week, federally.
