/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.

and this is the exact reason why trek shouldn't use real life (living) people in its lore.
one week they're the messiah, the next they're a pariah.
It's from 2017, right? It was very clear Musk was an idiot back then too.
Maybe not as comically evil as he is now, but still.
Everyone acts like we collectively only realized he was an idiot like 2 years ago. I remember when I first heard about him in college around 2016 I didn't like him even then. His ego was clearly apparent and his "progressive persona" was obviously a persona.
I remember back in 2014-2015, working the night shift and watching a video about Elon, which gushed about him being an entrepeneur, and found it really strange to make all the claims about him being a fantastic person just because he ran a business.
This was peak hyperloop hype, which was also very odd to me, as I remember reading a pop-sci magazine a decade earlier about Swiss metro, which was the same idiotic concept, but with less cool graphics...
The cave rescue thing was 2018 and it's often brought up as the turning point in people's perception of musk, so fair enough I guess?
as long as the real people actually invented a device and that's all that's mentioned I'm fine with it, but praising real people is just a bad idea.
Stamets is named after Paul Stamet, who's one part legit mycologist researcher, one part mushroom cure-all, woo peddler. He at least has the sense to compartmentalize his books. "The Mushroom Cultivator" remains the goto, soup-to-nuts book on cultivating mushrooms.
Or in this case, a nazi
