/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I did this once.
I'm about 8 years older than my brother. So when he was about 6, and I was about 14, I had this habit of holding him around the back of his neck. Kinda thumb on one side, rest of the hand on his shoulder on the other side, never hard, or choking him, but it gave me good leverage to make sure he didn't get lost and/or into mischief, particularly when we were in a shop or something.
So anyway, we're in this shop, and we're looking around, and I hear my mom yell out "Kraiden, get your brother, we're leaving." So I grab my brother, and start leading him to the exit... except he isn't coming... so I pull a bit harder and say " come on, mom says we're leaving." Still nothing, so I tug a little harder " Let's go! Mom's gonna get angry!" Nothing! So I look down.
NOT MY BROTHER!!! Some kid, on his tippie toes, with my hand around his neck, absolutely REFUSING to take a step, probably out of sheer terror! Whoops! Did not feel good. DID NOT LOOK GOOD!!!
Apologized profusely and left as quickly as I could! They still give me shit about it years later.
Omfg I'm just remembering I did something similar when I was ten or so. I think my little brother was like four?
I'm at 7-11, flipping through comics, and see what I think is my little brother messing with the comic books (putting them in the wrong slots in the magazine stand) out of the corner of my eye, so I scold him and go back to reading. I just hissed at him, didn't even bother looking.
Then this girl I don't know comes over, grabs the kid's hand, says "Come on, , let's go." I look over and I don't recognize either of them, and she shoots this "wtf is wrong with you, weirdo" look at me and leads him away. And my actual brother? On the other side of the store, oblivious to the world, just being his usual self, picking boogers, nowhere near the magazine stand, and I am clinically dead from embarrassment.
Ahahah, that is hilarious, it must have been so awkward! Yeah you are never gonna live that down
