/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

So quick thing. Our community has a rule of 'No bigotry'. Honestly? I think that if you voted for Trump you basically violated that rule. So lemme be clear.

If you voted for Trump, voted for Third Party, or didn't vote at all and you say as much on this community, I will permanently ban you. Yes, I am including Third Party in that. Jill Stein is an open asset of the Russians. More over, a Third Party candidate was never going to win. Your position of a protest vote did nothing other than fuck over everyone else in the country. You are just as bad as the people who did not vote and worse than the people who voted for Trump. At least they were honest about what they were doing. You deluded yourself into believing that a completely different election was happening and actively enabled fascism.

You do not get to call yourself a Star Trek fan when your actions have shown that you go against absolutely everything that it stands for and represents.

Current mood: Discovery episode 3 Stamets

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

There wasn't really a Stamets on screen that was like the mood I'm currently in because no Stamets actually felt rage. It was always annoyance or frustration or being emotionally hurt. Even the Terran Stamets was more self-concerned and worried.

No, the only comparable Stamets that I could think of was one raised by Klingons and whose parents were killed by Romulans. The only reason I said that I'd ban people here is because that's all I can do. If this was an in person community, I'd be kicking people in the throat until their trachea collapsed.

I think this is more like Discovery Finale Stamets. But not the Stamets on the show, you. Except probably even more this time.

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

Closer. That was untempered rage that was just unfettered. Didn't know who to blame with all of that absolute fuckery. This time I know exactly who to blame.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Look on the bright side: no Trumper would ever feel welcomed in this community regardless of your declaration - the whole entire community supports this level of thinking, and we are more than just Star Trek. We are STAR TREK!:-)

I hope you find a way to move forward friend.

I hope you find a way to move forward friend.

Gay man here in Missouri. A lot of my trans friends and me are very concerned about our futures.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 64 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You should be. We should all be concerned about our futures. I'm a white, CIS guy, and I'm concerned. We're completely off the rails now.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I'm a white CIS guy as well, and I'm worried to the point I can barely function this morning.

I work at a not for profit hospital that's already on a shoestring budget. Any cuts to government healthcare coverage and my department may as well get slashed in half

[–] sxan@midwest.social 7 points 1 day ago

In a country with a barely functioning (for the non-wealthy) medical system, it can still get worse.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago (8 children)

I'm concerned about your futures too. My daughter is queer and as of 2 am this morning, we've been working on plans to get to the UK, where I have dual citizenship.

[–] Eeyore_Syndrome@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My boyfriend ~~totes not domestic partner of 7 years, because I'm trying to get on SSDI~~ does have dual citizenship in 🇮🇪 (also an O'Brien lol).

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Can you get emergency married and have him get you over?

[–] Schnabeltierplaisir@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Best of luck to you and your family to get out of there as quick and easy as possible.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Thank you. Best of luck to you as well.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Doo it. You should me able to get a family visa as long as your daughter is under 18 and your family income is over £29k.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

We're working on it. My wife is sending out resumes today.

Any chance you and your friends can hijack a decent State and dig a giant moat around it?

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think our best hope is to move to California and then wait for The Big One to break CA off from the rest of the US.

[–] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Move to Alaska. We need more left-leaning people. We're already starting to go purple and our population is so low that it probably won't take much to get us to go solidly blue.

Plus, you won't have to wait for a massive earthquake to separate you from the rest of the country. Canada will do that.

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

Tempting. It is beautiful up there.

I understand, but also, please don't. As bad as it is right now, the world is still a better place with you in it. Call or text 988 if you're feeling suicidal, there are people there ready to listen and help.
