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.

On my walk this morning, I thought about Vulcans embracing logic to overcome their violent, angry nature. I think we'd need to do something like that to be accepted into any rational space-faring society. Sadly, that is beyond our ability as a species. I think Earth will need to wait for the next intelligent species to arise after we kill ourselves off to have any chance.
Yeah humans are unchangeable, and can't coexist with any other species. The range of potential ways we can be is just too small, and I'm pretty sure who we are under industrial capitalism is representative of most of it.
Really it's always better, when someone isn't good enough, to just completely discard them and start over again. On'e a thing is made it can never be repaired or changed. We are, after all, evolutionary R strategists; it's just natural for us.
