Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry
- Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
- Crossovers are fine
- Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

I wouldn't say especially security guards. On the spectrum of useless on one end and malicious on the other, security guards trend toward useless while cops trend toward malicious. The latter carries a much higher potential for harm.
Security guards are also much more incentivized to deescalate since most of them are unarmed, and even the armed ones can't expect the backing of the courts to near the extent that cops like to abuse.
Security from 18-30. I mostly sat at a desk, in a shack, eating ramen noodles and playing on my phone. My main job was to be there on site for the insurance discount the company got. The few times I did actual work was mainly when someone got drunk and I had to call them a taxi, or if someone was injured, as most security guards are also CPR/AED, first aid trained. That's it.
That was my dream job for a long time. I bet modern security jobs monitor you enough to ruin the magic of not doing shit.
Honestly, not really, depending on the post. You're looking for single guard posts, night shift, gate access, unarmed. Those keywords on a post generally mean you'll be sitting on your ass doing nothing all night, and maybe once every other hour you walk the perimeter and then write down that nothing happened.
