/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.

Bashir: Garak, "creation limited only by imagination" doesn't say that its Barbie's imagination. What we're dealing with here is a question of agency. She's a slave to someone else's imagination! Its diabolical!
Garak: Hmm, Are you sure? Who among us truly has agency? Look at me. I'm a simple tailor swept along on the currents of events far greater than myself. Do I have agency? Do you?
Bashir: Of course you do, and I do too! Would I be sitting here drinking a very fine Raktajino with you if I didn't want to? What person or force put me here against my will?
Garak: Why, my dear doctor....I did.
Bashir: Your charming wit and presence aside, Garak, I assure you I'm here at my own volition.
Garak: Oh? How do you think that 20th Century Earth music track by Aqua came to you? Sheer accident? Agency? Please. Still, I'm very glad you came, I do so enjoy our little talks. Can I get you another Raktajino while you tell me all about your magnificent agency?

Characteristically and philosophically accurate.
Bashir: Aqua? I was distinctly referring to the Ome Henk classic.
