/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.

As someone who's leaning more towards the introverted side of the specturm this is just what I do at house parties when my social energy for the day has left me, but it's not socially acceptable to go home yet. The longer the night goes on, the more I'll be in the bathroom. Not because I drink so much, but because it's the place where I'll be guaranteed a few minutes to myself where I don't have to keep pretending that I'm enjoying this.

I'm pretty sure my relatives think I have some sort of horrible digestive issue. I spend like 25% of holiday gatherings in the bathroom. I just need a few minutes of dark, quiet, not having to think about what to say or what expression I should be making.

Is that where your username came from?

My dad thought he was very funny and he absolutely wasn't, but he expected you to laugh at his jokes, so I learned how to do this a long time ago.

Pretty much. Although eventually we discovered that as long as we said, "that's very funny," he was satisfied. We didn't have to fake laugh anymore.

Well, that makes it a bit easier!
