That was the maximum range of Federation Transporters as of the TNG era.
We actually don't know the current range of Federation Transporters, though given they have had decades to study Dominion one's, a safe assumption would be "longer".

Advanced, yes, but still able to relate to us, connect and find meaningful similarity in values and motivation. Again, the sterile feeling of the early TNG crew is that they lack human warmth.
Prune juice permanently staining the carpet.
This season wasn't perfect, but it was perfect.
Change my mind.

Fair point about the Dominion transporters. But as far as we've ever seen on screen (Eris and Kira, possibly Female Changeling in "HEART OF STONE"), that has only worked with a single person. Millions or billions is a whole different ballgame.
To be honest, most descriptions by fans about the wonders of enlightened 24th century humans with their "evolved sensibilities" and "stoicism" kind of come off as if they rather come from, to a degree, the modern, very Generation-X custom of swallowing your problems and negative emotions because they are personal matters, presentation matters, and it would be rude and selfish to "force them" upon the people around you. With a dash of the masculine expectation of being firm and strong all the time and to never show any weakness, or the requirement that women shoulder the responsibility of empathy and serving the emotional needs of their community before considering their own problems or goals, lest they be seen as unlikeable, cold-hearted careerists.
Why are you pulling a Shaw here?
it's thribs.
That excuses nothing. A big part of the season is accepting Seven and her real name. One would think that after watching, someone could excuse their own preferences and actually go along with the journey the character has made.
Some people just like being contrarian
I have another word for the action other than “contrarian.” But I’ll be good.
Yeah don't try and read into it too much. Accept the arc at face value. Works for me
Sorry. Commander Hansen.
Physically? Sure. Culturally, psychologically, sociologically? History, psychology, and sociology would like a word. As an historian, I highly recommend (but only if you have the time--it's a big book), David Lowenthal's The Past is a Different Country. The difference between the 17th and 21st centuries are not nearly as big as between the medieval world and today, but they are not insignificant.
Won’t someone think of the fictional characters feelings?
Funny how Seven of Nine effectively identified with her "slave name."
You can't just decide to "become" a Cherokee tribe. No one can (there's the matter of state/Federal recognition).
A tribe is a political entity bound by culture. A tribe is a community. There's a great deal of controversy within the tribes themselves over who gets to call themselves "Cherokee."
That was the point of my joke.
Humans haven't changed biologically or behaviorally in the last 50,000 years.
