/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

No, but have some Lithuanian ones.
Don’t spit in a well as one day you may drink from it.
Bend the tree while it is young.
Flax is not yet sown and they are already weaving the linen.
You will know a horse by his teeth and a man by his talk.
God gave teeth, God will provide the bread.
Cat stroking leads to hump raising.
Old love does not rust.
The shoemaker is always barefoot.
Whatever you do, do it well.
There is no medicine that can cure stupidity.
Well begun, is half done.
Idioms
Spoons after supper
hang noodles on the ears
like a fifth leg for a dog
don’t say ‘wheee’ before jumping over the ditch
sitting like they were just kissed
walking like they just sold the land
catch the corner
my roof is riding away
it’s a fact like a pancake
to pour from an empty container into a leaky one
go and visit the dwarves
like a finger in the eye
it left on the dog’s tail
cutting a mushroom
to shepherd the eyes
wrap words in cotton wool
to leave someone on ice
show the goats
to clarify a relationship
Thanks.
Here's my favorite bit of Americana.
"Chin music."
Needless chatter, as when sports fans jeer the opposition.
Or, specifically in baseball, to throw a pitch near the batter's face to intimidate them.
