I mean... the method is basically "join us or die"... I don't think that's particularly nice...

    I'm not talking about the method they use to work, I'm talking about the methods they use to facilitate that work. They provide their workers with homes and sustenance. I would expect to put entertainment on that list too if they weren't cyborgs

    Hmm, the Borg internet (or intranet I guess) probably has a lot of entertainment material collected, but then we know that drone emotions are suppressed by implants so you wouldn't actually be able to enjoy any of it...

    "Homes" feels like a stretch... an alcove is worse than one of those sleeping pods in Japan, you don't even get privacy.

    Why are we taking this so seriously? I don't want to actually be the Borg. I want to be a socialist cyborg, and that's what I meant in my first comment

    Edit: okay I totally did say "I'd be a Borg" but I meant a socialist cyborg. My bad

    Because it's funnier that way.

    I don’t want to actually be the Borg.

    I totally did say “I’d be a Borg”

    You seem very confused. Join the link, the Collective will bring you clarity!

    I meant a socialist cyborg.

    Don't let your dreams stay dreams!
