/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.

I’ve lived alone for weeks at a time. Just me and my kitty. I worked remotely but didn’t have many meetings.

I’d wake up to no alarm. I’d make some coffee and have a smoke on my porch in the sun. Sometimes a tractor would drive by.

I would have some meetings but nothing too stressful. Then I’d reheat some leftovers and mow the lawn or paint a room or clear some brush.

Then I’d shower and go to sleep when I was tired.

I really miss it. Even the people I love are a ton of work.

Sometimes my kitty and me would watch hummingbirds flit around while classic cars drove by.

Sometimes we’d cuddle together in a bedroom cold enough to see our breath.

I didn’t have enough money to eat a lot, and I can’t lie that nicotine and THC helped a lot, but it really felt like paradise.

I tend to agree, and am basically a hermit, only going out when I have to for food etc. However, I've been looking for somewhere to post this (and sorry of this is a bummer. So CW near death.

My smart watch save my life on Wednesday.

I was working on shoveling out a sort of trench to stimey some flooding from the intense amount of rain we've been getting - hoping to give the water somewhere to go. I apparently disturbed a "early" nest of yellow-legged hornets which ate invasive here. I was stung. No biggie. I've been stung hundreds of times in my 42 years, but not by these. I went into the kitchen, to wash the sting and put a poultice on it, the normal routine. I woke up in a haze with EMTs over me. I hear my dog going absolutely berserk outside. Luckily the firefighters managed to get him safely chained outside with no harm to anyone. My smart watch detected the hard fall and wonky heart rate and initiated a 911 call. I was apparently out cold barely breathing for around at least 15 minutes as they had to deal with my 150 lb dog (who was doing his job). 2 days in hospital later I am OK, and thankfully my dog had a good amount of water outside. My whole point here is that living with others has some great benefits, like emergency situations. I am beginning to reconsider things, but I am unsure of the conclusion I will come to.

Edit: typos

Well, fuck. If that doesn't put some perspective on things. Glad you're alright for the most part.
