/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. 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.

I'll have you know it was a very productive 20 minutes.
I want to upvote, but the rebellious use of the meme format is triggering me.
I feel I am being attacked
There are plenty of good background episodes, but if it's Measure of a Man, the Borg episodes, Q, or Vash, I know I'm not getting anything done.
Man, I get sucked into the low stakes episodes too... Can't help it!
Time Loop episodes for me!
They never get old! Decompress Main shuttle bay!
This is why I can't work with the TV on. Hell, even podcasts are dangerous for me

I did this with John Mulaney's "New In Town" when it first came out. Was going to be background sounds while I cleaned and ironed. Did neither.
When I discovered his original 3 stand-up specials on Netflix, I watched them with full attention. After that I watched them when I went to bed. Watch until I fell asleep (usually within 5 minutes). The next day pick up where I last remembered and did it again. I rotated through them at bedtime for months. Gotta have something entertaining, but not actively engaging so I can fall asleep to it. Comedy specials the 2nd or 3rd time through work for this. No surprises means I don't miss anything by falling asleep.
That's why I put on, then I'm never tempted to stop and watch.
I go with music on vinyl because there's nothing to sit to watch and the the inability to skip a song or change bands from my phone means I'm much more likely to get at least 1 side of 1 album of work done before I get distracted.
Some LP covers have enough detail to have you looking for a good 30 minutes.
