inner machinations of my mind

Julian breaks up with Garak because Garak is 20 years older than him and Julian is going through a quarter-life crisis. He dates a 20-year-old doing a gap year for a few episodes.

Garak breaks up with Julian because Julian left wet towels on the floor and now his place smells like mildew. He did consider just assassinating Julian, but breaking up is the smarter if not the most satisfying path.

Julian breaks up with Garak because Garak doesn't like his friends (Miles)

Garak breaks up with Julian because Julian doesn't respect his culture (subjugating others for the good of the State)

Julian breaks up with Garak not because Garak has a secret file on him but because he thinks it's kind of hot that Garak has a secret file on him and he's supposed to be an enlightened Federation citizen with normal fetishes, like being into feet.

Can the computer create something? At first glance it seems obvious that it can. Animated computer graphics, with their fluid transitions and whiplash perspectives, look strikingly new. And if one watches the machine doing animation work, there seem to be lengthy periods when the computer is acting “on its own.”

But if one observes these processes in more detail, it becomes clear that creation is not occurring within the machine. First of all, computer graphics are not unique. Computers have yet to generate anything that cannot be done by hand—and usually already has been done. Second, the apparent ability of the computer to “act on its own” is the outcome of thousands of hours of patient human effort to refine its instructions. The computer can manipulate a shape for us if we have already informed it what a shape is, what the rules for shape manipulation are, what this specific shape is, and so forth.
