/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. 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.

You know how you go to your favorite bar, your local bartender isn't there.

You ask, "Where's Stamets?"

"Stamet's no longer works here. I'm ummthatguy."

And you're thinking "Hey who's this idiot? I like Stamets."

But you still want your drink. And even though ummthatguy doesn't mix your drink the same way you're used to, like Stamets, you still like the bar. You don't have to go to a different bar. And even ummthatguy might feel kinda bad because Stamets trained him. Stamets showed him how to work the cash register, where the tonic was on the soda gun, who tips, who doesn't.

Stamets is the SNL Weekend Update Norm Macdonald to my Colin Quinn.

Wait... is it "they" or "he"? I thought Stamets self identified as a gay man? Have I been doing it wrong by saying "he"? It's fine if you are just aiming for generic, I'm just focused here on if my usage was wrong, but if both are acceptable then that's cool too, I just wanted to confirm.:-)

I was being generic. My policy is to abide by Bill & Ted's Law: Be excellent to each other.

This extends to include minding chosen pronouns. That aside, I find it acceptable to use they/them/dude/guys as terms that cover whoever, per context.
