You know what would make Klingons instantly gain respect for us?

Introducing them to the concept of “terriers”.

Tiny little things but they have literally no concept of mortality. Terriers do not know fear. Terriers are not aware that there are things in the universe that pose a threat to terriers. They are 100% convinced that they are the meanest, roughest, most badass character on the planet and they expect everyone else to know it too.

Literally, a cockily independent attitude and a refusal to be intimidated or back down is part of the breed standard for terriers. Their breed standard is ‘never give up, never surrender’.

“You…bred these creatures? And you put them in silly clothes and hats? Ha! They are the size of bread loaves. Why am I meant to be impressed by WHAT THE FUCK IT JUST TACKLED A TARG. WHY WOULD IT DO THAT. IT CANNOT POSSIBLY–WHY IS THE TARG RETREATING. THIS ANIMAL HAS THE HEART OF A WARRIOR I MUST HAVE TWENTY IMMEDIATELY.”

Literally the entire concept of a terrier can be summed up as “IT IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE.”

one of the best tips for Real Life that I’ve ever picked up is to always highball your estimate whenever someone asks you “when can you get this done by” by about 25% (if you can get away with it). that way, if it ends up being harder than you thought, you’ve got extra time to figure things out and if you were right about how much time it takes then you get to look like an absolute genius instead of just a simply competent person.

what you may not have realized is that I learned this crucial piece of life advice from an episode of Star Trek where Scotty is telling Geordi that whenever he told Kirk something on the Enterprise was at full capacity, it was always only ever a notch or so below full capacity so that Scotty looked like the god of all engineers when he was able to magically hack the warp drive to run a little beyond what he’d told everyone else was “full capacity” and honestly that one throwaway gag from Star Trek has changed my life.
