/c/TenForward: 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. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

You're hoping that (canonically) there is a global thermonuclear war that wipes out most of civilization (including yourself), killing millions of innocent people and children, so that the post-war rednecks build a starship in a nuke silo?
It's one of those unfortunate, but necessary steps that brings humanity out of its teenage angst stage and into post scarcity Federation territory.
Okay, great. Can you please start with yourself first? The rest of us will figure it all out without you.
I'll admit that I should be a better person, but then, this is also a shitpost themed around wanting a better future for all. We won't all get to experience the fruits of said labor, most certainly myself.
No, no, no. You need to edit your comment and change the "I should" to "you should", and "myself" to "yourself" to address me and anyone else reading, not you. Because you are an ACTUAL good person.
