Why go out, when your TV that plays Star Trek is at home?

Not only am I not single. My Trekkie wife and I produced a daughter that has no interest in Star Trek whatsoever!

I am so ashamed. I failed as a parent.
- It's probably a phase. Or maybe she just hasn't experience the right gateway Trek yet.
  
  if it's just a phase, we can simply modulate the frequency of the subharmonic phase generator. and reverse the polarity of the deflector dish if that doesn't work
  
  Well it's a 14-year-old phase.
  
  She likes animation a lot and doesn't even care about Lower Decks! Sigh.
  
  I can't get her into MST3K either. What have I been raising?
- I am in my 20s, I just started watching Star Trek because of Lemmy. She can be redeemed.
- If she's younger, the proper course of action would be to forbid her from watching ST:Prodigy.
  
  She's 14. That no longer works.
I went on the first date with a girl and we got on the topic of the day's news. I mentioned that I read a story about a guy attacking someone with a "Klingon sword." She stopped me and said, "You mean a bat'leth?" We've been married for 16 years now.
- Woah. She sounds hot. Is she single?
"No, it's just that your mom likes it a lot"
Other than myself, everyone I know IRL into Star Trek is married.

Er... I guess I can't count my dad anymore since mom died... 🤔
- it sounds like you have a lot in common, marry your dad
They were hitting on you, ya dingus.
I am not single, yet I've been a Trek fan since elementary school. Curious?
- Fascinating, and highly illogical.
