/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. 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.

I'm a middle aged man and more and more, I'm starting to act or speak like some wise old sage like the Elders I remembered as a kid. The funny part is that I am starting to realize that those wise old sages I remembered were probably just as confused, unaware and dumbfounded by the world as I am now.
I used to get mad about it all, shake my hands in the air and get frustrated ... but now I really don't care. I live my life, treat others nicely and with respect, hold my ground against those that want to spread hate or fear and generally try not to disturb the waters too much - they are already disturbed enough as it is .. lol
It's good to just talk about these things and to have a caring, respectful, kind and sympathetic person such as yourself to listen to it all. That makes me feel far better than any kind of magic solution to these complex problems.

It means 'Thanks very much my friend .... I am very grateful for your kindness ... that is all' in northern Ojibway or Oji-Cree
I'm not middle aged but I'm increasingly seeing how lost and confused my familial elders were when I was younger. The older I get thr more I see their brave faces as an act they told themselves because I'm putting that same face on too. I think we're all lost and confused, the difference between the wise and the foolish is being able to accept that and navigate around it or denying it or failing to figure out how to handle it.
The older I get (I'm not that old yet tho) ... the more I realize that most people of all ages, including who we see as wise old folk are all just people doing the best they can to try to figure out this strange reality we live in. Those old wise people get it wrong much of the time but get it right enough of the time for younger people to think that older people actually know what they are doing.
I agree
