/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Full quotation from Generations:
Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important how we lived.
What he left behind:
A snarky mama's boy who ages rapidly. Looking pretty rough for someone in their early 20's.
Yeah, why they cast that dude I don't know.
Full quotation from Generations: What we leave behind is not as important how we lived.
That is a really bad take IMO. Each of us is only here for a fraction of a section in cosmological time. "How we live" is much less important that "what we leave behind" because subsequent generations only get what we leave them. As an example, the philosophy encapsulated in this quote is a great argument that we should ignore climate change because continuing to use carbon based energy would make the lives living today better in an easier way.
Yet more evidence that Generations is a bad Trek movie.
Even though you're just right, I want to give a little bit of defense of Picard's quote:
I think the point he's trying to make is that we can't always know the outcomes of our choices, but we can at least examine whether we made the best choices available at the time.
That's my take on it. Ensuring a better future for others can be incorporated into how one lives. Not to mention he said this before he had a kid (timeline puts Lil' Locutus' inception around Insurrection).
I prefer to think of time as that prankster in your group of friends. There’s always a surprise waiting for you up ahead.
