/c/TenForward: 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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

They are also employing 15-16 y.o. in factories producing drones, putting them into the crosshairs. Russian leadership has indoctrinated their population to believe that their lives are worthless, and they use them in exactly that way.

Source: Denys Davydov on Youtube. I like him because he is pro-Ukraine, but has no qualms with portraying the situation as less then rosy in a lot of sections of the front and criticizing Ukraine leadership and military misconduct as well as the not 100% consistent support from the EU - 13% of our LNG is from Russia still, and Putin is using that cash against both the Ukraine and the EU.

For example, the situation in Scala brigade where they abused recruits (including deaths) and used the same "tactics" a.k.a meat waves as the russians for offensive operations. He also is critical of the Kursk incursion or Bahkmut - in Kursk, they stayed far too long (months instead of weeks) after realizing that they could not reach strategic goals and lost more personell than needed; in Bahkmut, even tho they inflicted heavy losses on the enemy, they also took more losses than they should have (and they have far less available personell than Russia, making this more painful for Ukraine than Russia, because these situations reduce the amount of people willingly joining up).

Or that some drone brigades had no qualms publishing FPV drone footage of attacks on gas stations where civilians were present. Russia is doing such things at a much larger scale, and those actions aren't a daily occurrence, but a war crime is a war crime, regardless of who commits it.

Another channel I really like is "Inside Russia" - an middle aged Russian living in exile reporting on how the russian state works and how the "SMO" is affecting every part of russian society. Currently he is on a bit of a hiatus, but once his situation stabilizes again, he'll be back for more (he had to flee from Uzbekistan to Luxembourg with his family because the pressure of the KGB that shadowed him became unbearable including making him ill - a Z-Blogger provided him documentation confirming that his hospital stint was a little "present" - and calling him the moment he checked into the hospital asking "how he's doing" and with an offer to work for the russians. The Uzbek secret service made it clear that they knew what is happening, but did not have the means to protect him. A few years back he ran afoul of Alexander Dugin on Twitter which started this BS, normally they wouldn't bother)
