/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.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

Yeah I know. I avoid any product or brands with Patriot, Freedom or similar words in the title
If you can, I'd avoid Menards entirely. Owner is kind of a scumbag.
Oh shit, sounds like the polar opposite of Costco.
Menard has a pronounced hostility towards organized labor. He imposed an absolute ban on hiring anyone who had ever belonged to a union. Managers at Menards are subject to 60% pay cuts if their store becomes unionized. Managers also have to agree to pay fines of $100 per minute for infractions such as opening late and to submit any disputes to arbitration rather than legal courts
Menard when he can't fill manager positions (probably): nO onE wANtS To wORk AnYMorE!
Edit: I don't even think Quark would be that draconian except for that brief meltdown when he was trying to go all Alpha Ferengi
Any manager when nobody applies to job openings looking for highly experienced highly qualified positions with shit benefits and hours that pay less than $10/hr
NoBoDy WaNtS tO wOrK aNyMoRe!1!1
Just imagine a toddler talking: they throw out whatever they think will work - the sad part is that somehow it manages to actually do so, see e.g. the last election:-(.
"There... are... ugly... lights!"
Patriot Lighting? A company name that would only emerge in the US lol
*made in china
If I were in Picardβs place Iβd be upset too. They misspelled his actorβs last name in the product description. π€¦ββοΈ
Where's the fifth light?
