/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.

That is flat out wrong. It was true a couple of years ago, but things have changed rapidly recently.
Lego's quality has dropped quite a bit in the last 40 years, while some competitors have caught up and superseded. Sure, it's still mostly pretty good, but things like brittle brown or the lime bionicle joints should be ample evidence that Lego is by far not infallible.
And if you look at the quality of current day bricks - Lego is having huge consistency issues, especially when it comes to certain colors, but also the bricks themselves. Running over the flat back of my Tudor Corner with a fingernail reveals inconsistencies in the width of regular bricks. Huge visible mold marks are everywhere. These issues were much less present 40 years ago, and high-quality competitors like Pantasy or Lumibricks are currently outcompeting Lego on basically every quality metric (except maybe glossy tile surfaces), at half the price.
