O'Brien distinguished himself in two wars, served on the federation's flagship and saved the galaxy countless times and he's basically DS9's janitor.

Yea the Federation's whole "no money" system starts falling apart when you realize they still have people doing poo poo jobs for free and apparently sticking around in Starfleet to have horrible things happen to them all the time out of a sense of patriotism.

That or I guess they get 'paid' in holodeck time-alloted or replicator usage or something.

Or perhaps O'Brien is just a masochist who enjoys having everything always going wrong.

Why join Starfleet and risk getting your poo poo slapped when you can just build a small holodeck in your den and bone historical figures all day?

We never get an idea of how big the federation's population really is, so for all we know there are like ten trillion fat slobs doing just that while a tiny minority of people go around getting poo poo done/accidentally rewriting history every fifteen minutes.

Miles cooks for his wife in an episode. All I remember from it is that he uses capers, a well known, traditional Irish cooking item.

I wouldn't think so. Everytime we've seen a federation colony it generally seems to be pretty boring and usually agrarian. Holodecks are probably one of those things that only exists in Starfleet/government facilities in the Federation, since they're a bunch of moralistic twits and it'd be entirely in-character for them to get their panties in a twist over their civilian population wanting to waste away in the holosex box.

Section 31 was actually created to run a giant disinfo campaign which has the aim of hiding the Federation's crippling porno fatty problem from its enemies.

The New Insincerity
The thing about it is every time we see earth, the idea seems to be everybody just does whatever they decide is their great calling in life. Like Sisko's dad is a restaraunteur because he likes cooking and talking to people, and Harry Kim's g/f was a painter or some bullshit.

Obviously if you give man a choice between pursuing hard but rewarding work or getting his rod frictionized by a Marilyn Munrobot he's gonna do the latter so they probably had to put in some hard VR laws to sustain humanity. Private holodeck time is probably the only reason anyone agrees to work on the enterprise where everyday's a diceroll you're gonna get blown into space or eaten from the inside out by evil lungworms or whatever.

then he sees himself there and gets shot, turns out this miles was some sort of clone or whatever and he's exactly like miles except he's pre-programmed to murder someone at a certain time, and with his dying breath he's like 'take care of [our wife]' to his real counterpart and it was really loving sad

Everybody's having fun making fun of how much O'Brien gets poo poo on, but it makes me legitimately sad. gently caress the police.

Also, Colm Meaney is the best actor in Star Trek, because he manages to take the lovely technobabble and awkward dialogue the writers come up with, and makes it actually sound like real human speech, more so than the rest of the actors in all the other shows.

season one is not representative of the series as a whole. the writers were still stuck in their TNG mentality and you get a lot of lovely alien/planet/anomaly of the week episodes. the series doesn't really hit it's stride until terry farrell dies.
