/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.

We all know that the Beastie Boys are referencing the real life Dr. Spock, right?

A very famous pediatrician?

Fun police, shut it down. Shut everything down, pull the plug. There's a technical inaccuracy, all jokes are null and void. Everybody needs to go home, or we start arresting people.

Scene: House party, 11PM. Fun police raid the building, crashing through windows and kicking in the front door. Partygoers scream and scatter in all directions. Fun police let their dogs off the leash, and they turn into fur missiles chasing the stragglers.

Scene: Backyard. Protagonist sprints through the backyard, chased by a dog, and clumsily tries to scale the back fence. A dog has a firm grip on his pants leg and refuses to let go.

:: record scratch, freeze frame ::

That's me, trying to climb that fence. You might be wondering how I got here...

Screw off. We have the right to party granted by the License to Ill Act of '86.

He seems like a really good person!

Please don't tell me he's a eugenicist or something...

He did a lot of good for a lot of parents. Most of what we consider to be the baseline for parenting is because of Dr. Spock. Some of his advice is now medically outdated, but most of it remains timeless and valuable. He was a good dude.
