/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.

That doesn't surprise me. I could see something like this being done in a terrorist attack. Of course, I wait for the evidence, and don't speculate wildly and publicly.
It's the whole "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" thing again.
I think it's reasonable to ask questions, explore possibilities, and verify with evidence. What those "news" organizations are doing is beyond irresponsible.
Asking questions is fine. Saying that a boat which you can see on video destroying a bridge didn't destroy the bridge is entering into crazy territory.
When a plane crashes, "did a naked mole rat chew through the control wiring" is generally not a question people ask. Because that's a silly question.
I agree! A lot of people have just accepted that crazy is a fact now, which is itself crazy to me.
I mean… back in the 90’s the news from the other side of the world were kinda iffy, with obvious bullshit like a man in China having an hiccup for 30 years, or another being 200 years old, or the even more laughable idea of a school shooting in the US…
Crazy is normal.
Yes, but think of the ratings and clicks garnered by speculating wildly and publicly! You’re missing out!
