/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.

I want that embroidered on my throw pillows.
Nah, it'll probably come out wrong.
Ha, probably, and it'd be my own fault. Having custom embroidery done is like ordering a cake with a message on it: they'll write it out exactly as you put it on the form.
Pessimists get just as many disappointments, but fewer surprises. Optimism and pessimism are orthogonal to effort and will.
Can we just hit the big reset button like Voyager did every week?
See numbers 1 and 2 here: https://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/inconsistencies/inconsistencies-voy.htm
Just gimme a cup of a coffee and everything starts looking up.
"probably" is more optimism than I've usually got
It usually does.
