/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. 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.

You know how you go to your favorite bar, your local bartender isn't there.

You ask, "Where's Stamets?"

"Stamet's no longer works here. I'm ummthatguy."

And you're thinking "Hey who's this idiot? I like Stamets."

But you still want your drink. And even though ummthatguy doesn't mix your drink the same way you're used to, like Stamets, you still like the bar. You don't have to go to a different bar. And even ummthatguy might feel kinda bad because Stamets trained him. Stamets showed him how to work the cash register, where the tonic was on the soda gun, who tips, who doesn't.

Stamets is the SNL Weekend Update Norm Macdonald to my Colin Quinn.

@ummthatguy@lemmy.world isn't entirely wrong. I've been dealing with some shit for the better part of the last year. It is also my birthday in a few days and while that's a celebration for other people, it's a severe stressor for me thanks to some past trauma. I overreacted. That's why I deleted the leaving post. I'll probably be back. Might be a couple weeks. Might be a month or two. I don't know. I'm just struggling and adding in the extra stress of Lemmy is a straw I just can't handle.

Not likely I'll come back in a moderator capacity unless directly asked. There's no reason for me to be on the team. Everything runs smoothly and sufficiently without me and I'm not egotistical enough to be like "I WANT THAT GREEN M NEXT TO MY NAME AGAIN".

Hope that helps to you, @Kolanaki@pawb.social and @OpenStars@piefed.social

Thank you for thinking of us - you rock dude!

I am both sad to see you take time away, combined with very happy that you are doing precisely that, bc it will help provide what you need and it's great to see you be proactive like that. Be well my dude!:-) 😎 💪 And then enjoy coming to Lemmy again (naw, fuck Lemmy, I mean Ten Forward!) instead of dreading it :-).
