/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. 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. 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.

This was hard to make, and harder to post (especially at this hour when I know that none will see it). RIP, Dad.

I need to scream at someone, something, anything but I am alone.

It sucks, I'm no good at this kind of thing. I only have gifs to offer.

I appreciate it, and this made me smile :)

He sounds like he was a good dad.

I'm terribly sorry to hear that Jawa. As trite as it is, hang tight.

Sorry for your loss. He sounds like he was a fun and impressive guy.

My condolences to you and your family ... your father sounds like an amazing man who fostered and guided a great human being in you that is making a better world for us when you make us smile and happy with the images and videos and memes you create and freely share.

I lost my father and mother years ago. They were born and raised in the wilderness of northern Ontario and they knew nothing about modern science and technology. Dad was so mesmerized by the episodes of Star Trek TNG that we watched in the 90s that he said to me once that he was amazed that people were now flying through space like that. I had to tell him it was all made up and just a show ... but it made me realize just how fantastic and convincing these performances can be. My parents were also very supportive in their own way for us. Although we dealt with all our own emotion and traumatic baggage through life, they kept me grounded, aware and curious about the world which helped me to survive, thrive and enjoy life a lot more. From the way you make us all laugh, I am sure your father did the same.

I only know your father through the actions and personality you share with us here ... and to a Vulcan, it sounds like he lived long and prospered ... and to a Klingon, it sounds like he lived a life of honor

We never really lose the people we love the most in our lives. My father passed eight years ago and my mother a year after but it feels like I hear and feel them every day.

Nee-nas-koo-min kee-na nesh-ta koo-ta-wee .... it is Ojibway/Cree and translates to 'I send my praises to you and your father'

I send all my love to you and I send all my thanks to you for being a beautiful person.

Rest in peace, representative of the Federation. Hailing frequencies open.

You honor him well and I'm sorry for your loss.

Rest in Peace. His light still burns bright within you, and in everyone with whom he made a difference. I'm sorry for your loss.
