/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.

You clearly have never been a farmer
farmers? the people who have to do things by daylight hours regardless what any authority around them counts as the time? they're the ones that need daylight saved?
what?
Like I said, you clearly have never been a farmer
very convincing and condescending. now everyone reading is wholly swayed in favor of daylight savings. job well done. farmers need it because people who don't want it clearly aren't farmers. brilliant.
LOL explain how pigs and corn give a fuck about what time it is?
In Canada, one of the biggest farming provinces is also the only one that doesn't have DST, and they seem to be ok. I think.
That province tried it for one year when it was a new idea, decided it was stupid, and stopped.
One of the few based things Sask has done. Add to the list: producing Diefenbaker, who appointed the first Indigenous Senator and gave all Indigenous people in Canada the right to vote, and Tommy Douglas, who instituted the first ever single payer universal healthcare program in ALL OF NORTH AMERICA in Sask. That then became the basis of the universal health care program we see in Canada today.
Too bad their current government is super regressive and like taking AmeriPol talking points instead of actual effective governance.
Yeah unfortunately none of that stuff was sustainable and that's why we're kinda fucked economically. They won't grow some balls and end it, but they won't fund it properly either, cause they can't without making everyone even poorer.
indigenous right to vote and universal healthcare are unsustainable and making everyone poor, and they need the balls to end it? what the fuck dude?
edit: just perused and yeah that's a full blown nazi. nevermind to whatever they were going to reply with. blocked.
Mod can fuck off. "Nazi" isn't an insult, apparently. Fuck you.
It was never about farming, it's bad for farmers. The farming lobby fought it off for years before the Chamber of Commerce rammed it through, with big assists from the golf and bbq industries. Then Big Candy successfully lobbied to get it extended to include Halloween.
