/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.

Chimera, Chitin, and even Drow are a few that I got wrong because I read them in a book first.

Is it Drizt* or Drist*? It confuses me to this day.

It stats with ch, I learnt ch words in school. I was very good at them. It is not my fault if someone else can't manage it, that is how you say it!

Churchill, Church, Chernobyl.

True, though I don’t hold with the theory that reading automatically makes you smarter — Dan Brown exists.

[–] FreeAZ@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

To some degree you're right, reading doesn't make you intelligent in and of itself, but I do think constantly reading like that does make you to some degree smarter. Like even if you're reading slop, you're probably smarter than if you had been reading nothing.

It has also been proven that reading makes you more empathetic, because you are actively putting yourself in the character's headspace.
