/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.

LaForge: Data, I appreciate that you want to help, but I'm not in the mood for jokes right now.
Data: Did I tell a joke? (pauses, head twitches) Oh. Oh dear
Data: in this case, the word “joke” is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
He's just exercising his right to poke fun at his friends
"Let's just make sure this never happens again."
Removing and reformatting the 'Dad Jokes' subroutine
Cut to LaForge explaining to a nurse how he broke his hand punching Data in the face for the third time this week. O'Brien is in the background, he fucked up his shoulder again on the holodeck, Crusher could just permanently fix it but instead goes for a very mild painkiller and tells him to not be a bitch.
