/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.

LOL
What loser country works on 1 May?

Not every country celebrates the hangover day after drinking for Walpurgis night, I'd assume?

Edit because it's a very specific reference to my country:

Here in Estonia we get May 1st off, but we can't really call it International Workers' Day because then we'd also be celebrating oppression and forced labor, as the soviet union was nominally socialist, but in reality quite oppressive. IWD was very important to the soviet union, they held huge military parades (to show you what would happen if some part of the union would cease to be good obedient workers of course).

So instead we get May 1st off for what we call "Spring Day" AKA May Day in other countries. Incidentally it's the day after Walpurgis night, the ancient celebration of witches and shit.

Also the loser country that doesn't celebrate may 1st has had a labor day for longer than IWD has existed, at least in some states (been a federal holiday for like a century too now). It's just in September.

It's because you have been fascists, I know.
And certainly still are in many cases.

No, it's because may day military parades were forced upon us by the same entity that sent our people to labour camps.

Great for you if your people have never been occupied by a dictatorship. Must be nice being on the side of imperialism that benefits from it and looking down on those who suffered.
