/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?

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (14 children)

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.

Wait, so the Festivus pole thing is for real? Do you also do the airing of grievances?

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Hmm UK it's the nearest Monday to May 1st. So what I'm hearing is call in sick tomorrow so I get a 4 day weekend.

using AI that steals jobs from hard working people just to make a joke?

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

No I used the save button. I stole this from someone else using ai to steal jobs from other meme manufacturers.

You guys don't have holiday on may day?

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In the UK we get the first Monday in May instead which has kind of a wink-wink nudge-nudge sort of relationship to IWD (it was added as a UK wide bank holiday by a Labour government back when Labour was more traditionally socialist but it was also an existing bank holiday in Scotland celebrating Beltane so there was some plausible deniability that it was just bringing bank holidays across the countries more into line with each other)

Yeah lol, IWD is a day off in Spain

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Every normal country has a day off.
Just shows how pathetic americans are

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Most of the rest of us don't get Labor day off in September so it kinda evens out.

[–] CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Labor day was invented to take away Americans away from MayDay

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Labor Day parade was first held in 1882. The Haymarket massacre was May 4th 1886 and the first time it was officially commemorated on May Day was 1890.

[–] CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

It wasn't an official federal holiday until 1894

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

OK, but it certainly doesn't even out the total of paid holidays.

Call out sick anyways, just for shits and giggles

I feel like not going to work as a Florida teacher would actually be a win for the capitalists.

1st of May is a holiday here ✊ 1989 version

Hum... Isn't tomorrow one of the 2 days that are internationally recognized as not a working day? (The other being Jan 1st)

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Not in the US. I've never had May 1 off unless it was a weekend when I wasn't having to work.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 34 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It's often recognized as International Worker's Day, but I don't know of many places where it's a public holiday. Here in the US, Labor Day is celebrated on Sept. 1, explicitly to separate the labor movement from it's radical origins

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 15 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Being the US, the vast majority of laborers don't get it off!

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 day ago

"Alright team, we need all hands on deck for Labor Day to accommodate all the extra shoppers who have off from their jobs. And remember, we're all family here!"

Most of my team in India is off tomorrow. It's not nation-wide but many states have public holidays.

And until then, we need to put the fear back into them!

That's originally about Klingon gods as I'm sure most of you already know.
