What is "learing"? Learning? Leering?

What is "learing"? Learning? Leering?

Yes. "learing"

You are not up to date on the latest memes about recent events.

Let Grok explain it to you:

"Learing" is currently (as of late January 2026) an internet meme and sarcastic slang term originating from a real-world fraud scandal in Minnesota, particularly centered around certain Somali community daycares/childcare centers.The term comes from a viral discovery where at least one (and reportedly several) of these state-funded "learning centers" or "child learning centers" had their signs misspelled as "Quality Learing Center" instead of "Learning." (The missing "n" became the punchline.)

In short: "Learing" = intentional misspelling of "learning"

Nobody wanted it, remember?

This is the ridiculous bullshit of fickle fandom. Academy was "unasked for" as a series, and now people are wishing for a different Academy.

Happiness must be hard.

Like Picard, I too would face palm your post and use of an idiotic and ill-supported "meme."

Though I do recognize the irony in you using it.

Shitty boring AI?

Only tasteful nudes in here, thank you.



Which means I need to leave right now.

Eddie... didn't we tell you pants-on when you're upstairs? C'mon, man!

Let Grok explain it to you:

Just when I thought I couldn't take you less seriously, you managed to dig past rock bottom.

Nah, I love AI. Nothing beats getting to see how creatively bankrupt some people's ideas are in real time.

Said it before but the show was doomed from the start due to a confluence of factors:
- Kurtzman-era Trek doesn't seem to have made much of a cultural impact; only Discovery appears to have performed impressively in viewership and yet it's left zero footprint. Therefore, there's not really a huge dedicated viewerbase who think "oh, shit, more Star Trek, gotta check it out!!" - a lot of TOS/Berman fans have been fully alienated by this point, and the new stuff doesn't appear to have garnered a sizeable fanbase of its own

- The marketing for this was abominable. The 90210 poster, the trailers making it look like an extension of Discovery. Why the fuck did none of the pre-release material show off the humour? Why was it all gloomy music and shots of people looking tense? WHY THE 90210 POSTER

- The decision to target it at Gen Z is bizarre, because there's no way they're gonna tune into this shit. I like the show but the "how do you do, fellow kids" aspect is oozing from every pore of it.

It's sad because this is, so far at least, the best thing since SNW's early first season. It still doesn't feel like a logical entry in the Star Trek franchise, but it is at least fun, which is more than I can say about DSC/PIC. The show deserves modest success but every single thing about the context in which it was released ensured that was never going to happen.

I sort of f agree but like I mentioned in maybe this or another thread is that trying to appeal to younger audience isn't bad. But your appealing to the wrong young people. It is trying to appeal to young people who care about fitting in and being hip and cool. Trek will always appeal to nerds and weirdos and people are not spending all their time on Tik Tok and repeating all the corporate approved slogans in how you talk. A young person who isn't on Tik Tok and doesn't care about being a influencer but has a flip phone and collects worms and reads Archie comics along with poetry.
