/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.

I hope you want a $20 unsealable can of liquid death. Because that's the only water you'll be getting. Do you want a $70 T-shirt? It's the only way to prove you were really here man. How about 10 dollar stickers. Or a vinyl for 50? I got it, you need a tote bag to carry all the crap we're selling. 60 dollars and if you leave with it you can't bring it back in.
Hint: it always was.
Woodstock is nigh-worshipped for being the defining hippy and counterculture event.
Except it was designed and run by corporates who learned how to make fat stacks off of hippies. Modern festivals are the end product of that where it is blatantly about taking as much of your money as they can.
Some always were. Others that were founded by people who actually just wanted to have a great time on a festival turned them into temples of capitalism
I was at the second to last Sasquatch and spent a lot of the time ranting about the people that thought a festival was an ideal place to sell someone a Toyota.
When people say they are ravers and then talk about all the festivals they went to. Yeah no. Raves are barely organized, optionally legal, dirty, and you find out where it is at the last minute.
Ok gatekeeper
It's not meant to be gatekeeping, I do feel bad for the people who didn't get to experience it but a similar experience is available for anyone at anytime with some community building and work, DIY is absolutely essential to the raver experience imo. It's pretty silly that it's called gatekeeping when people are just recalling the original, pure experience that has since been ruined by greed. Don't blame me.
Well you don't have too look so far back. Covid naturally forced the raving scene to go underground again.
Be nostalgic, but don't deny the younglings their fair share of the glory.
Abandoned warehouses, land banked office buildings, closed down factories, old docks. 90s parties were great fun
=O. i didn't realize he was the same actor. that's so cool!
I miss X Fest...
It is apparently being revived this year tho. Claims it's getting back to its roots but I have my doubts since all the ads for it are blatantly AI generated slop.
