/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, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. 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.

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

Vive la résistance

Dear Trump voter,

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

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And third party voters. No chance in hell that was ever going to happen. A 'protest' vote that no one heard and that proved nothing other than an ignorance of the situation and morals/ethics not set in reality.

Honestly I'm also hostile as hell towards non-voters but won't ban them for it or go after them on TenForward. Just hate them more than they could believe. Trump didn't win a bigger margin. It went down. The problem was people did not show up to vote in an election that was democracy vs fascism. So I'm not gonna attack anyone on here publicly for that, but personally? Yeah. I harbor some intensely negative feelings towards the people who were too apathetic to bother to engage. Honestly find that more offensive than someone who voted for Trump.

Can we stop fascism by ejecting the warp core?

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

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

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Only if we eject it into Maralago

Vive la résistance

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I can see why!

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

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I see potential in a Tremors shared universe.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

Shared nightmare, fuck right off

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 12 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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?"

-The capitalists, probably

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 17 hours ago

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

“Control those zones.”

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