Gonna start calling my HOA the "Romulan Senate" because the similarities are striking.

/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.

In what aisle in Coscto would I find one of those? Asking for a friend.
In all fairness, my HOA isn't that bad. They're more annoying than totalitarian. HOA President Commander Toreth is actually pretty nice. Weirdly, all the people close to my age (mid 40's) like her, and all of her Boomer peers seem terrified of her. I kinda want to know the story there. Like... is she former (or current emeritus) Tal-Shiar?
We have an HOA and it's not really terrible either. Most of the money (only recently raised to $100 er year) goes towards the custom mailbox frames & street sign posts along with maintenance for the common grounds. Their bigger rules (guidelines) are 1. no above ground pools and 2. if you're gonna build a shed make it a permanent structure; on a slab or at least gravel base, and try to make it match the house.
Thankfully it's not an HOA where there is a dedicated color all houses have to be painted, and you need approval for landscaping.
That's how ours is. Mostly just collects and manages funds for tree trimming, (communal) landscaping, and to pay the snow plows in the winter.
There's a little micro-management (trash cans have to be out of view except during pickup days, etc) but nothing too draconian.
That said, if/when I ever move, I'm going out of my way to not live in an HOA.
