TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

Meanwhile the people of Ohio's capital aren't
I live in NYC and no one is actually pushing to get rid of Columbus Circle.
otoh, Trump has a Building right on Columbus Circle, so maybe we should ask Mamdani to rename it Obama Circle.
Meanwhile, Amerigo Vespucci, America's namesake:
That's the part of the story I can find funny. Columbus made four trips to the New World, set up colonies, and explored. He never set foot on the American mainland but he saw it with his own eyes, sailing up and down the Mexican coast looking for the Singapore Straight, which he obviously never found because it was busy being on the other side of the planet. He went to his deathbed believing he'd visited Asia. It wasn't until Mr. Vespucci made it all the way to Argentina before going "Dudes...there's no fucking way we're in the Philippines. There isn't a landmass thousands of miles long in the Philippines."
And he was right, which is why AMERICA! FUCK YEA!
And then he'd sign an executive order, in the middle of shitting his pants, demanding it be renamed after him
I've only driven through Columbus Ohio once via highway, so I don't have a complete picture of it, but all I remember about it is it had the worst highway layout of any I've experienced, and it had the ugliest, most souless corporate signage along the road that I've ever seen as well.
I also stopped to get some fast food, and immediately had a couple people loudly mock me for wearing a mask after I let them ahead of me while I was looking at the menu.
The place just left me with really bad vibes, honestly.
I lived there for a time and love it for what it is. I've had many a fun night in the old north and occasionally was able to afford some time in the short north. I love their main library and to this day ~~one~~ ~~two~~ three of my favorite bars of all time is there. Hell I got married at their lesbian bar. They've also got/had some other awesome and unique stuff in some alternative scenes.
But yeah, it ain't a pretty city outside certain parts. They hid one of their rivers, the city is dominated by the highways, they've got abysmal public transit, and large portions of the city have strip mall feel. But also night time bike rides through the city with a group felt magical.
And yeah they've got some shitty folks but plenty of places do. I guess I partly love it because I had to work hard to get there from even worse parts of Ohio.
They don’t have much to be happy about in general.
Well yeah, their days keep being ruined by a group of assholes who meet in their city
