/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.

The resemblance is a little uncanny.

Bell Riots kick off in 6 days, and we have a proto Borg queen coming online in 2024 just like that old gypsy woman said. Maybe we do live in the Trek universe.

More like a Borg drone voluntarily making ChatGPT her queen even though it's an idiot and not Alice Krige.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I had that same thought but figured they'd merge at some point lol

even though it's an idiot and not Alice Krige.

Now I'm imagining a Borg collective of just Pakleds.

You are smart. You will be assimilated to make us go.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

We are Pakleds. Pakleds not smart. ChatGPT smart. Put ChatGPT in Pakled. Make us smart. This is smart idea.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

That’s… just weird. There’s performance art, and whatever this has turned into with time.

Bell Riots start in a little under 8 days. They kick off in the early morning of September 1st. Our trio of temporal travelers will arrive in 6 days.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

Yes, my bad. I always think there are only 30 days in August. lol. Aug 31st is always like a surprise "bonus" day for me. 😆

Then the site is wrong. 9am September 1st is past the time the riots start and thats 192 hours away. 192 hours is 8 days exactly.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

and thats 192 hours away.

Not anymore.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I was only using that as a measurement to show that the site was wrong. Even when I posted it I was wrong since I'm in Bogotá time.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

Ah! Colombian deception! I never trusted you folks and your... um... Rainforest? I don't know enough about Colombia to insult you properly. Oh well.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm american but you really wouldn't want to insult these people. They're the kindest coolest people I've met. It's like if Risa were a country.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I can believe it. I knew a Colombian exchange student when I was in high school and she was awesome. I would love to get in touch with her again, but I only remember her last name, and it wasn't exactly an uncommon one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't know enough about Colombia to insult you properly.

Just remember that they fuck donkeys. I think that should be enough

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Someone saw that Sue Perkins show...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

You are right! I never looked closely enough to verify!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I figured out what the clock on that site is calculating. They're showing time until the riots end

var countDownDate = new Date("Sept 3, 2024 05:00:00 PDT").getTime();

So just take two days and a bit off that display and that's when they should start.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Roddenberry better be right about this one. If the Simpsons can call it as much as they have, Star Trek can have this one.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

I'm just waiting for her to lose control and kill someone

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

I will give you a "cool" but with a "creepy" and "weird" attached.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Cool it runs off a Raspberry Pi though.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Borg tech was Linux all along?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If the Borg ran on Windows, they'd have to spend time adding RAM every time they add a drone and the cubes would have to reboot at least once a week.

If it was MacOS or iOS, they'd be limited to a small number of species they could assimilate.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

"Captain, the cube has released the tractor beam and dropped shields."

"Is it a trick?"

Entire cube turns blue

"No sir, forced update."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Windows Borg. The Borg's version of Pakleds?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Lol yeah. That's the one part of that whole thing I can appreciate.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Aww, is someones art not getting enough attention?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Anyone wearing headphones while having a conversation IRL is very disrespectful.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I agree with that and also agree with the opposite: anyone trying to start a conversation with me while I'm wearing headphones is very disrespectful lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I can see that, though you might want to give the other party some time to explain what the issue is, just incase it is something important

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

But, the all important question remains: where is the best place to eat cheesecake within a mile of New York???
