/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'm just numb at this point. I want to cry, but I can't.

I'm numb too. I'm having a hard time processing it. I woke up in a completely different country/world.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I woke up at 2 am and couldn't help but look. Couldn't get back to sleep until 4, but it's all just been 'how did this happen? How could Americans not see all those signs as bad?'

We are a minority. 🤷‍♂️

To be a serious Star Trek fan means you see way beyond countries and current politics.

That isn't something most humans are good at.

It maybe will always feel bad for us to exist in this uncaring universe where the majority seems to care only about what immediately affects them.

To have a kind and open heart maybe just has this cost. I wish I could offer more.

I was talking about that with @ininewcrow@lemmy.ca yesterday. So many Americans see Star Trek episodes where soulless computers run everyone's life or people are forced into suicide booths for the enjoyment of the elite or the Roman Empire runs the world with an iron fist and they think those all sounds like great ideas.
