Thanks to @JordanLaFordan over on Mastodon for shooting this over to me. Far too accurate.
Have you assholes never heard of Chain of Command?!?!

I'm not too worried about what my cells are doing, as long as they remember to kill themselves when they're done

Life is a lottery where we feel like we’re winning all the time until we eventually lose.

As someone whose cells don’t always do the right thing, I feel this comment.

My body is trying to be the federation, but my immune system is made up of angry Klingons

I have the same problem. Sorry to hear that.
BTW, for anyone following this thread, go watch Cells at Work.

My favorite part of that plot was how Starfleet somehow doesn’t care that he genetically modified himself to gain superpowers, but multiple other people almost get the boot for something their parents did.

genetically modified himself to gain superpowers,
To be fair, said superpowers weren’t the kind of thing that would make him a viable supersoldier or terrorist.
Admiral: About this Stamets guy, can we review the footage of his illegal genetic modification powers?
:: watches video log of Stamets taking Discovery through shroom-space ::
Admiral: Ow, fuck, that looks incredibly painful. These mods are only good for this one task? And he can only do it with that machine, from that room, on that specific ship? And he’s okay with doing this to himself every time?! Yeah, we’re good.

It does help if you’re the only one who can successfully operate top secret technology.

…Is this a meme or a cry for help?
Stamets@startrek.website 11 months ago
Most of my memes are cries for help. You’re the first to notice!

Wait a second… I’m pretty sure Stamets wasn’t in that TNG episode.
No no, none of this makes sense now. I don’t accept it.
You know what you’ve done now?
You’ve disappointed Captain Jellico.

Taking a page out of the Janeway Book of Temporal Mechanics.
Step 1: Fuck it, throw out the book.

I think that would be like allowing a Linux newbie sudoers access.
Seems good in theory, disastrous in practice

Yes
Well... you can't.
