/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.

Dear Trump voter,

OP's post was directed at you, in case you weren't aware.

Can we stop fascism by ejecting the warp core?

[–] Stamets 30 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Only if we eject it into Maralago

Vive la résistance

[–] dejected_warp_core 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, but only if fascist_warp_core shows up. I hate that guy.

[–] FlyingSquid 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I can see why!

You don't want to hear what I have to say about Burrowing Squid.

[–] Stamets 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh god I cannot tell you how much I hate the idea of a burrowing land squid

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I see potential in a Tremors shared universe.

[–] Stamets 3 points 2 weeks ago

Shared nightmare, fuck right off

[–] FordBeeblebrox 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is really starting to feel like the mirror universe, is there a rift in space nearby somewhere

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Twist: It's been the mirror universe all along!

[–] FordBeeblebrox 2 points 2 weeks ago

Damnit! I was looking for evil goatees and it’s the wispy combover this whole time

Hey kids, want to fight back against The Man? Authoritarians want everything their way and micromanage based on perceived ideas and not reality, so play dumb and watch them lose their minds! Be bad at something and make them do it. Watch as they struggle to push any agenda in the face of overwhelming incompetence.

Is it deliberate or does the person simply not know? Does training then see some benefits that slowly get forgotten over time? Who knows‽ Remember, resistance doesn't have to be violent. Friction is resistance and adding small amounts of extra work for fascists counts! Start resisting and wasting their time today!

This strategy was recommended by the OSS as a way for people to resist fascism during WWII:

Pretend that instructions are hard to understand, and ask to have them repeated more than once. Or pretend that you are particularly anxious to do your work, and pester the foreman with unnecessary questions.

They eventually became the CIA and declassified the document which has other fun tips: https://www.cia.gov/static/5c875f3ec660e092cf893f60b4a288df/SimpleSabotage.pdf

"So you're saying all we need to do is keep you busy with a full time job that you need just to survive?"

If anyone understands the importance of combating facism, it’s the Bajoran

Unfortunately I have a full time job so it is a part time thing for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Nah, we can all pull together and make it a half time job.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I am ready for a Shaxs presidency in 2028. That’s the kind of rollercoaster I want to ride.
