/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. 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.

Shatner says it all. Most fitting would be a captains log here.

[–] Ydna@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I was caught in an expo hall bathroom with him last year. Somebody came in ahead and yelled at me to leave him alone before he came scooter'ing into the restroom lol

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Transfem here.

Afaik, shatner is a transphobe. So this is ABSOLUTELY not geared at me.

Or actually lots of people now, including cis and non queer people. So it's quite shatty of him.

[–] cooligula@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have to ask. What does this post have to do with what you're talking about? He may or may not be a transphobe (idk), but this has nothing to do with it, does it? It applies to everyone regardless of their gender identity...

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Transphobes don't want queer people ~~in~~ anywhere ~~bathrooms~~ ~~public~~.

Seriously though, if you don't understand, it's because there are now bathroom bans in the USA ~~statewide~~ (19 states I think) that criminalize trans people from using public restrooms. (This has also emboldened bigots EVERYWHERE into assaulting people for no good reason)

Some have also made it so that's a sex crime. And also added that if you use the bathroom like this and there is a minor present, it's a sex crime against a minor. They ALSO made it so that sex crimes against minors can be punishable by death, and have solidified the death penalty.

This is not new news, though. We've since progressed as a country to the point that ICE now just disappears innocent people who are grassroots political enemies, such as college students.

So, a transphobe who hates trans people likely does NOT want me going in any restroom, contrary to what the sign says here. And so to me, is an insult that he dares make a joke like this with his face on it, smiling like that.

Could be an ad for prune juice, a warrior's drink.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The big sign you see when you walk out of the toilet area ...

QAPLA!

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 14 points 4 days ago (3 children)

With Gowron eyes, obviously!

Ooh, even better: the sign says "did you wash your hands?", while he glares at you:-)

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

"It is dishonourable to not wash your hands"

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but delivered in like a SCARY manner! 👀

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 4 points 3 days ago

Y-y-yes sir, g-g-glory to your house! (Wets pants, then turns around and runs away...)

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Glory to your outhouse

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Dude goes to space once and thinks he's some sort of a captain of it

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Hey, he spent 79 episodes out there!

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Picard spent more, I'm just saying...

But I don't need to tell you that!:-D

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Don't forget 3 great movies and 3 mediocre ones

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

I'll give them 3 great, 2 mediocre, and 1 that is just hard to watch.

Dude is almost 100 years old and still working. It's kind of amazing.

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Michael Caine, too. Just sayin'. I don't think he's even got a Trek connection. Sad

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He seems so sharp still too.

[–] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My biggest regret is that we never got a dramatic pause competition between him and Adam West

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

sure we did.

Mr. West is winning.

Just don't hurry too much, don't dishonor your bladder and ureter.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

This needs to be made into a Shower Curtain

[–] limelight79@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

I know airports look the same everywhere, but damn that looks like BWI.

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 4 days ago

It sounds kind of ridiculous without "to".

Boldly go!

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Also telling people to "Explore"... in a bathroom.

This batch of jenkem is taking me to Strange New Worlds bro.
