/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.

Who's the big ear dude and why is he always saying some stupid shit in these macros?

A main character of DS9, a Ferengi (race of misogynist capitalists), and an exploitative capitalistic bar owner himself.
"Our capitalists are dead. Ancient human workers slew them centuries ago" .... now I really know that this is a fictional universe
using AI that steals jobs from hard working people just to make a joke?
No I used the save button. I stole this from someone else using ai to steal jobs from other meme manufacturers.

You guys don't have holiday on may day?
In the UK we get the first Monday in May instead which has kind of a wink-wink nudge-nudge sort of relationship to IWD (it was added as a UK wide bank holiday by a Labour government back when Labour was more traditionally socialist but it was also an existing bank holiday in Scotland celebrating Beltane so there was some plausible deniability that it was just bringing bank holidays across the countries more into line with each other)
Always said the UK was in between Europe and the US in its policies.
Also a reason why they don't belong in the EU.
Even if that is horribly right-wing in itself.
Yeah lol, IWD is a day off in Spain
Every normal country has a day off.
Just shows how pathetic americans are
Most of the rest of us don't get Labor day off in September so it kinda evens out.
Labor day was invented to take away Americans away from MayDay
Labor Day parade was first held in 1882. The Haymarket massacre was May 4th 1886 and the first time it was officially commemorated on May Day was 1890.
It wasn't an official federal holiday until 1894
OK, but it certainly doesn't even out the total of paid holidays.
Depends on the country you compare with and the employer because they have holidays like juneteenth that not all businesses observe in addition to the main ones that everyone does.
The one thing they do better than some other countries is that for most holidays, if it falls on a weekend, you get Friday or Monday off. Not all countries do this so you can fall below the US in total amount of paid holidays even if you have more nominally.
They get absolutely shafted with vacation days compared to everyone else though, no competition there.
Call out sick anyways, just for shits and giggles
I feel like not going to work as a Florida teacher would actually be a win for the capitalists.
I WISH!
Easier to believe in the end of sub-lumina travel than the end of Capitalism

Hum... Isn't tomorrow one of the 2 days that are internationally recognized as not a working day? (The other being Jan 1st)
Not in the US. I've never had May 1 off unless it was a weekend when I wasn't having to work.
It's often recognized as International Worker's Day, but I don't know of many places where it's a public holiday. Here in the US, Labor Day is celebrated on Sept. 1, explicitly to separate the labor movement from it's radical origins
Being the US, the vast majority of laborers don't get it off!
"Alright team, we need all hands on deck for Labor Day to accommodate all the extra shoppers who have off from their jobs. And remember, we're all family here!"

Most of my team in India is off tomorrow. It's not nation-wide but many states have public holidays.

Lstop I can only love O'Brien so much!
The O'Brien will continue until morale decreases
he did achieve his dream of becoming a dictator in another universe, but he got nuked in the end.
And until then, we need to put the fear back into them!
That's originally about Klingon gods as I'm sure most of you already know.
