Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa

All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.

Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not KlingonThis is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.

  • No harassment, brigading, or trolling
  • No bigotry
  • Keep the banter playful, not hostile

Rule 2 — No Prohibited CargoSome things aren’t welcome aboard.

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

Rule 3 — Keep It TrekPosts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.

  • Crossovers are fine
  • Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock

Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.


If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.

Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

Just a curious question: Why would you decide to get a cat if you didn't like them beforehand?

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 days ago

Honestly, it seems to be that a lot of people end up with cats by accident. I moved into an apartment with someone else who already had a cat. When we were both leaving, she could not take the cat with her. So I did. In the time that I had lived with both her and the cat, the cat liked me and I liked the cat, but we didn't have that much of a connection. Still loved her and wanted to take care of her, wanted the best for her because she's a living being. But, you know, there wasn't much else. But when I realized that I was going to be taking her, that connection kicked into Overdrive, and now I would shatter mountains just to make sure that she has a better view.
