    I often thought that with all the trouble the Borg go through fighting all the resistance and wars and stuff they could instead just go around asking for volunteers.

    Throughout the galaxy they could probably build a decent population this way, and it’s much lower risk.

      Well let’s see:

      • No student loans
      • Get to work on the biggest projects
      • Meet new people all the time
      • Get to explore and experience new cultures, lots of travel
      • Get to spend my days with my 10 million closest friends in the universe
      • Never worry about who the president is
      • Retirement isn’t an issue I have to concern myself with
      • Be part of a team, you know?
      • Also freaken robot arm
      • Never have to hear about a sports ball game or a celebrity saying something problematic again

      Downsides with rebuttals

      • No individuality? I don’t really get that as it stands
      • Chaffing from implants? Well I am sure they have a cream for that.
      • Don’t get to live in a democracy? I don’t live in one now, I live in a Republic where my vote doesnt matter that has like one election left. What could be more democratic than a collective mind?
      • Live in a giant metal cube with no privacy? I work in a plastic carpeted cube and have to wear headphones to get any work done.
