/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.

Actual quote from "The Wounded"
I don't drink hot Earl Grey.
I drink Earl Grey, hot!
I keep telling the ~~Keurig Machine~~ replicator Earl Gray, Hot but I keep having to push the buttons AND load a cup, when is engineering gonna fix this damn thing
When I'm good and ready. In the meantime, enjoy a nice cup of...
Earl Grey with some lemon and a bit of honey is an S-tier drink.
I do the David Mitchell method and hide one earl grey in amongst my breakfast teas. Surprise morning bergamot!
What's that, you want to feel up Captain Picard!? Who do you think you are, Beverly? :-P
Bergamot is disgusting and whoever decided to add it to tea should be flogged.
Iirc it was Earl Grey, who decided to just sell the tea that was spoiled in his ship's cargo hold when a container with bergamot broke above it.
The potential capital loss from rotten tea results in foul-tasting swill that becomes iconic because of a sci-fi show about a socialist utopia... there is a message in there somewhere, but I'm not quite sure what it is.
Man, ain't it weird how tastes can vary so much? It's the bergamot that made me like Earl Grey, which was what made me finally enjoy hot teas at all.
I want a word with the person who was drinking an earl grey tea and thought, "This is the flavor my loopy fruity cereal needs. A toucan would definitely eat this!"
I feel the same way about patchouli, but I’d substitute “drowned in fluoroantimonic acid” for “flogged”.
I agree, that is also disgusting, but I have never had it in tea.
I feel like your on par to fall your British lifestyle compliance class.:p
Earl Grey doesn't seem to be especially popular here actually. Just plain black tea. Which I appreciate.
