/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.

Just a friendly reminder of the November 11 Remembrance Day ceremonies.
Here's a photo of James Doohan, 22nd Field Battery, 13th Field Regiment RCA of the Canadian 3rd Infantry Division. He was part of the famous D-Day landings of June 1944.

War is terrifying. I think accidents, including friendly fire, are just as much part of the horrors as facing an enemy. It's sad to think about how young these kids were, and it helps me put the challenges of my life into perspective.
and the greatest lesson I've learned about any and all wars and the veterans that were left behind and survived is to always ask 'why wars were started in the first place'
The biggest humanitarian crime I've come to learn is the lessons of the First World War and why that fiasco was even started. The more history you read into that conflict, the more confused and complicated and senseless it becomes.
And those question lead into WWII and the reasons why the second conflict started and how it could have been prevented. Because even as the world watched the fallout and the rise of fascism, no one really did anything to stop it and in many cases, helped to enable it to become the thing that everyone fought against.
The more history you read about every conflict, the more you realize that every conflict is preventable, which leads you to realize that every conflict is senseless.
Which is why I always believe that we have to remember ... remember the fallen ... but also remember the reason why they fought in the first place ... and to remember the reasons and causes so that we never allow this to happen again.
