/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

She's not wrong though. Houses in the middle of bumfuck nowhere are cheap as dirt, but nobody wants those.
While there are good reasons for being against buying that kind of housing, it's still technically correct.
It's not that nobody "wants" those. If I could work remotely I wouldn't give a fuck living in the middle of nowhere, actually I would prefer it. But then how do I commute? I'd have to buy a car because I would have no public transport, would lose a lot of time commuting, and you know what? Even in the middle of nowhere the rent prices are just like 30% lower in my area. So I'd end up spending more money on gas and more time commuting.
All good reasons.
She is wrong though, people would move there if they could but they can't and that is far from the only reason to regard this rich entitled asshole as a rich entitled asshole.
Feel free to check out for yourself her defense of a guy who drugged and ass-raped a 13 year old girl or what she thinks about Jewish people: She is a well rounded shitbag these days, maybe money and fame did it or maybe she was just always like this, but it's pretty hard to deny at this point.
She changed her last name to 'Goldberg' because her mother said that she should since Jews run Hollywood (she has changed this story more recently and claims she took the name in honor of a Jewish ancestor).
That's nice and all, but https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/celebrity/whoopi-goldberg-faces-backlash-repeating-false-holocaust-comments-rcna63321
She does ignorant shit like this all the time though, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise. In this case, I believe she eventually walked it back, but damn, it happens a lot!
I think you misunderstood my comment. I'm not defending her. Changing your name to Goldberg because you think the Jews run Hollywood is not a positive thing. It's a bigoted thing.
I absolutely did (skipped over a key part of your post lol), it's been a long week.
No worries. I totally understand.
