/c/TenForward: 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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

Mine still drives her car, except in winter, and goes to see her friends every day. Church every Sunday. I think this is the way I'll go...
You never know what you are going to get. Her husband, both my maternal grandparents, my mother, my brother, and a cousin all predeceased her and it's likely my father will too.
I expect I will check out early to avoid the pain of socialetal collapse due to climate crisis, but maybe I'll stick around long enough to see Halley's Comet again.
That is actually one of the things I look forward to. I was 10 when it came and think I'll be in my 70s (?) when it comes again. I remember looking up at it and wondering what it will be like to see it again.
So many humans never get a chance to see it more than once. It will be special, I think. 2061. I'll be 81 if I make it.
This is the first orbit of the comet that human society was able to track it the whole trip. You can find telescope photos of when it turned around this time.
the biggest silver lining of the last accident i was in is they took away my elderly MIL's license.
My grandmother will not drive in winter or when it's dark. Only during the bright hours of the day and only to see friends or perhaps a quick errand to the market. For the rest of it, she rides along with others when they go out.
