/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.

Ooh I want to think this is funny, but I'm not sure why. Can someone help me out? It sounds like it's referring to a very specific episode (former Captain's son).

Also, in case you're not familiar, this is referencing a tweet from someone whose neighbor told him that his cats keep getting eaten by coyotes. He asks the neighbor how many cats he has, to which the neighbor replies that he just goes and gets a new cat from the shelter every time. So the guy says "sounds like you're just feeding shelter cats to coyotes", at which point the neighbor's daughter starts crying.

And so relatable.

When we adopted our sweet boy Merlin, there was a lady at the shelter who was somehow suffering under the impression that she was the one going to adopt him - to replace her previous cat who had been eaten by a coyote.

That bitch can rot in hell. Merlin is right now on the sofa next to me, napping, exactly seven years later, safe indoors from predators.

I know it's been a while but if you can send me a licence plate, I'll slash their tires.

We don't know the full story. That woman's cat could have bolted out the door, and maybe she couldn't catch it again quickly enough. I would rather attribute this to an accident than someone being a pos and letting their cat out without a harness and leash.

Nope, outdoor cats, and she lived near a river/trail with frequent coyote sightings.

Don't slash her tires. That's wasteful. Slash her up, and feed her to the coyotes. They're clearly hungry.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Well fuck her then.

Thank you! I figured I was missing some kind of crucial information. I try to stay on top of internet stuff like this, but this one slipped past me.
