/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.

I mean, Im sure at least one fan over the last 60 years have built a model and not gotten it to scale...

Like, it's actually kind of of difficult to make a model to scale, especially for a small onenits not all going to be proportional. So even if you were drawing the line at "commercially sold" I'm sure some don't meet the requirement to be within scale.

I get Shatner meant there's no "life size" model, but if someone's gonna be pedantic, it's an excuse to be pedantic back.

@givesomefucks @cosmicrookie William Shatner always struck me as someone incredibly hostile to the fanbase which made him famous and the people who are the only reason anyone gives a damn about him anyway.

Every interview I have ever read or seen video of is just him belittling people and their fandom.

That's because that's what he is. He's kind of a crappy person. Nimoy refused to speak to him the last few years he was alive because Shatner paid someone to ~~ask Nimoy questions~~ secretly record Nimoy at a convention after Nimoy turned Shatner down. This was confirmed in the book Shatner wrote about his friendship with Nimoy after he died where Shatner said "It was such a small thing Leonard". Takei has talked endlessly about how Shatner was a prick to work with on stage too.

Shatner is a shitty person

Edit: I goofed

What questions did shatner pay to have asked?

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Totally on me. I misremembered and just checked. He only had the cameraman record footage, not ask questions.

Oh I wasnt asking some sorta "gotcha" question, I just haven't heard anything about this. Why was he recording nimoy?

Bowser and Blue: Use Shatner in a sentence. - William Shatner purse

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Because William Shatner.

There's always a scale, even if you have to Fourier transform it
