      Unfortunately, she was like that all the time. She wore the uniform at her screen printing job and everyone there called her Commander.

        I dunno, that sounds kinda rad, she’s got something figured out…

        I gotta take my uniform to get tailored or something 'Cause I’m hanging mad knuck every Halloween

          I can see where you’re coming from, but it looked kind of uncomfortable at her job to be honest. Everyone else was in short sleeves, meaning it must have been hot, and she wore a belt with a tricorder and a phaser all the time. And expecting everyone to call you Commander is not cool IMO. I don’t think this is a deadnaming situation, she wants to be referred to by a military rank she does not have and did not earn.

          I don’t want to discourage someone’s fandom, but there’s such a thing as going too far.

            Oh, absolutely. You simply can’t bring that kind of fantasy to every part of your life and impose it on others. It’s not only rude, it could be a sign of issues understanding reality in a functional way.

              Yeah, I won’t deny this is clearly the story about a crazy person but…eh. Fun and harmless crazy. Sounds like she’s functioning. She has her job. She gets by.

              Life is short. Let her be the commander.

                I’m with ya as long as she can knock it off and acknowledge it’s a bit.

                Otherwise, ehhhh kinda worrisome

      Just casually mention you know about jury nullification. You’ll never see a judge.
