/c/TenFoward: 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'm in this comic and I don't like it!

Those moments of clarity, when your attitude towards some thing that was previously an overbearing negative force on your life suddenly abates... When the true meaning of life feels so firmly within your grasp, seems so straightforward and simple that the whole world looks less dark in the glow of your revelation. You know what's important, and for the briefest of moments, everything else slips away into obscurity allowing you to breathe like there's never been tightness in your chest, or stress in your shoulders.

But then you have to go to work, or the trashcan gets flipped over, or it's time for dinner and you're out of that thing you need and someone says something mean, and someone cuts you off in traffic and then... you're back in your normal routine. Back to taking something, drinking something, smoking something, watching something, playing something, doing something to alleviate the stress from all the things you don't want to do but have to. And with all the pockets we recede into to get away from the stressful things, we forget we're also hiding from all the other things. Those things you previously determined were the true source of joy and fulfillment in life...

But it's too hard to stay in the moment and reflect and maintain positive relationships with others and volunteer and pursue hobbies and passions so you sit down and find something to watch while you eat.

It's hard to be mindful, so you gotta practice everyday!
