I think we'll have the Bell Riots for about an hour and skip straight into WWIII

/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.

That's probably true :/
Oh fuck... I didn't remember that it's supposed to happen this year.
That's heavy.
The thing is, the Bell Riots were supposed to make everything better (until WWIII anyway). I'm not optimistic about that part.
Heavy? You keep saying that. Does something happen to earth's gravitational pull in your future?
You mean WW3, which by canon is an historical event that needs to happen for the federation to be a thing?
Bell Riots come first, then WW3. Can we skip both maybe?
what about irelands reunification, skipping that as well?
I think it will be Irish reunification in the morning, Bell Riots by noon and WWIII by 3pm
ah nah, sorry. My time schedule is already full on that day, can we post pone WWIII?
Don't worry, at the rate we are destroying our ecosystem we will be dead before WWIII happens. 👍
Gene editings right on schedule for khan too, we have the rudimentary tools now and the first one being seriously investigated is re-activating a damaged gene that allowed our ancestors (like pre-human but the gene is still in modern humans in its damaged state) to produce their own vitamin C.
Skip? With the way things are going, we’ll do them twice.
Just ask the writers to retconn the event. Simple.
Why do people still put up anti-ai signatures? It looks as tacky as the people who post "My data isn't for sale facebook!". To think it actually works is even more ridiculous...
Do you even have a lawyer capable of suing any ai training model for your data?
That's why its far more practical to just buffalo buffalo buffalo put a random string of gramatically correct nonsense into your comments whenever you can remember too.
ai companies are already having issues with (and not doing) training on new data because lots of it is llm generated, a tiny tiny fraction of that being grammatically correct but nonsense really won't do anything.
also, to make enough nonsense to get the llms to reproduce it would need like, a large fraction of the internet to be complete (human generated) nonsense. at that point you've ruined the internet in a different, entirely human caused, way.
We can make a better federation, with blackjack and hookers!
Can we have the Planetary Union instead? They have Twinkies in their food generators.
Plus lots of alcohol on board. I'd serve on Orville in a heartbeat.
Yeah, but synthohol though: No hangovers or cancer.
Have you seen Scotty's stash?
Yeah, it's right above his lip
Dabo and Dabo Girls aren't good enough for you?
If there is ever a president that would build sanctuary districts, it would be Mango Mussolini
The riots are supposed to happen before the election actually!
48 days! I'd better contact my fellow gimmies in sanctuary 4567 to fill up our ration cards and make sure our internet cards are working.
Did the Trump shooting instigate it? Like a Ferdinand type of situation?
Who knows. The recent Supreme Court decisions also made things more tense. This might be the worst few weeks since Jan 6th. Or nothing will happen, I hope it's that one.
WWIII: The Stupid War
If the shooter turns out to be homeless...
Latest is that he was a 20 year old registered Republican, who had a social media post about ending the "Evil Epstein Empire"
The social media thing is the only one I've not seen fully verified.
I just saw this episode for the first time a week ago and it was worrying kind of funny to see the date. While I'm not in US, Europe isn't doing much better lately.
I like the red X
Who's our Chris Brenner?
