Does this make the Jem'Hadar the local crack heads that like to ransack the place?
Does this make Rom's minefield just a bunch of speed bumps?

/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.

Shopping malls were pretty cool back then though, an actual place to hang out! Nothing like the bleak liminal wastelands of today.
That's nostalgia talking. Back then we thought of them as dystopian examples of hyper capitalism.
For me they had the ice rink and the theater and you could take to bus to them and they were open. They were also pretty central so they were a good meet up point.
I agree there are absolutely better options for restoring third spaces that again, don't rely on proximity to consumerism.
we could make local spaces cool to hang out in, but like that takes committees and shit. you gotta organize and right now a lot of us got bigger things to build than parks.
Yes absolutely! And hopefully when there's time again to work on the smaller things we can build third spaces that don't rely on proximity to consumerism and capital.
my dude, i was part of organizing and filling the first few years of a concert series that was our city park a better third space. ten years ago they started charging admission. it was just $3 a concert this year, but still we fundraised for that stage so it would be free this is bullshit.
They're so threatened by socialism they compulsively require the performance of consumerism.
I'm guessing the $3 basically only covered the cost of having an admission/ticket system in the first place?
please don't get me started it's so the lady who runs the downtown association can skim some off the top
