One, sure. If there had been about 15 per episode, as there are on any threads which so much as imply the existence of FEEEEEMALES here, it would've gotten old.
(There were other Ferengi sometimes, but they were far less strident on this particular matter, in general.)
Btw, glad I am not the only one making a mental note of someone being a "ferengi". It is such a perfect description somehow. And our industry is full of them.
Well, the Ferengi were intended to be a parody of American capitalism. And the tech industry in many ways has turned itself into a parody of American capitalism. And the worst of Hacker News might as well be a parody of the tech industry.
I still follow Elon for his rocket stuff but his fanboys are relentless if you criticize him or his universe even slightly.
Or criticize aspects of capitalism even, like the one guy who said the purpose of a company is to make an impact, not primarily to make money. I think he was toast after they were done with him.
And Quark tried to learn, or adapt. He wasn't always successful, and he was cut out of a lot of situations where his behavior was considered unacceptable, but he did at least make some efforts.
