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.
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
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.
I am sure the germans have a precise term for this

Modern term is "staying competitive in the realities of a global marketplace." Or some such BS.
If it's any consolation, there are quite a few countries where this is a thing. I don't want to think percentage wise, it would make me sad.

We call it Russland
I hate to admit it, but we're on the wrong side of World War III aren't we? We're gonna get anhilated in an AI-fuelled nuclear war, and we can only hope that an enlightened post-scarcity utopia is on the other side.
And then posted about it on social media and then just sort of did nothing and carried on.
I just wish I saw this path to action like every European and Canadian does. Like, if you speak out or burn shit it's just jail and no job. How does that help anyone? Like, what is a plan y'all think would work? I just don't get it.
I don't think anyone expects you to do anything about it, but the endless posts of "are we the bad guys?" don't really absolve you either.
I think most Europeans are rooting for you, we know it is a shit show that you are enduring, just as we are too. There's solidarity in that. But there is also a feeling that it's popular for some people to turn in posts like this as form of virtue signalling.
So yeah, not blaming you and we know that it's happening to you too, but posts like this are not reading the global room.
Also, if you are doing something, no matter how seemingly small, thank you.
That’s the frustrating part. I keep seeing videos taking about how we can resist, but they never really have a solution. It always comes back to no violence, but general strike maybe?
Ok, so I’ve been general striking. I refuse to be violent. So what now? It’s still shit.
I call my useless reps, I write emails, I help where I can (admittedly little, but it’s all I’ve got). It’s still shit.
I spent the last 20+ years trying to help politically dense individuals understand the how and why. It didn’t move the needle.
I’m so tired.
Posters stop existing when I navigate to another page. We all know this. Its why I feel such an obligation to linger on this page.
No please don't go I haven't finished my bucket list
I'm here comrade. You can tell I'm here because you can read this.
