/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.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

Description: A meme with the caption "Okay so that was trolley problem version number 7. Janeway opted to run over five Tuvixes instead of one EMH." Below is a picture of the inside of a trolley with Janeway smiling and covered in gore. Michael and Eleanor from The Good Place are on either side of her. Michael is taking notes and Eleanor is amazed.

Very true. I think Buddhists might agree with the top comment that the only moral action in this case is no action.

That's why, despite being a trite, overused topic whicha and any serious philosopher cringes at whenever it's brought up, I think it's a pretty interesting situation, where the answer says a lot about the responder. But it's been beaten to death, and I'm sure professionals are sick of hearing about it.
