/c/TenForward: 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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

heh. Pretty sure a rock with googly eyes would be a better leader than half the Admiralty. Just saying. plenty of turdlings getting promoted who shouldn't have been. And plenty more were promoted merely on competence with little regard for leadership.

He also got plenty of awards for bravery and courage. There are tons of socially awkard leaders. Like Gen. Sherman (union army, civil war,) Brilliant tactician, socially worse than the average redditor.

(anybody else remember pet rocks from the 90's? those were fun.)

Aren't we talking about Star Trek? Most of the admirals are pretty competent in ST, when they aren't being occupied by an invading force or something.

I mean, just as examples, we’re talking about an organization that put civilian families- including children- onto ships that are routinely attacked or otherwise facing casualties.

And let’s not talk about OSHA standards that clearly don’t exist. Virtually every non-combat casualty of been prevented with a modicum of regard for safety (wearing PPE, having a safety plan that includes questions like “what could go wrong”, and addresses them, etc)(let’s not talk about seatbelts and surge protectors,)

Or that JAG admiral who failed to even consider a legal test to determine data’s sentience- a legal test that not only would literally have to exist, but be taught to basically everyone in starfleet; because the prime directive requires that they not fuck with sentient life.
