So… question.
Is she telling him to book an appoint for therapy, or does she do the dominatrix thing on the side?
Cuz like…. I can’t imagine she’s not booked up, for either. What with how much time she spends on the bridge.

/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. 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.

She's telepathic. You cannot convince me otherwise that a telepath would be anything but a kink master, since they'd have to deal with everyone's fucked up side regardless of how open they were about it.
the PTSD would have to be through the rough.
I just want to know who I Starfleet HR thinks having the first officer of the flagship have his ex for a counselor is okay.
No other terapist wants to deal with the BS that goes on the Enterprise. Remember no one is actually required to work, so the leverage to force an assignment is not that great.
I can’t imagine that people want to bus tables or work as retail baristas. I call bullshit on the “don’t have to work” bit.
Now… being paid to work is another story.
I know people that enjoy those jobs in real life. If you don't need to deal with American customer level of entitlement they can be great occupations for extroverts.
do they work at a Starbucks, Tim Hortens or whatever's over in europe that's awful coffee?
cuz, guarantee you, 99% of starbucks line workers aren't meeting new people and having conversations. it's the retail hell of the coffee world. they're not careers in the same sense that "starship engineer" or "artist" is.
This is not to say that the independent, craft coffee cafes are the same- that's not what I'm talking about. Or the guy who goes around cleaning up the replimat? you think that guy's having fun? there's a reason they keep trying to make synthetic slaves in ST, from copies of data to holograms like the Doctor.
They have jobs. They just don't get paid.
You fundamentally can't visualize a world that's different from our own. The best you can do is imagine Starbucks with replicators. I feel sorry for you.
I feel sorry that you can’t imagine a world deeper than the surface that’s presented.
Seriously.
Sikso’s dad runs a restaurant, you can make the argument that he enjoys hosting people and demonstrating culinary skill. Did you notice the wait staff? The guy bussing the table?
Do you think there’s enough people that enjoy spending their day collecting dirty dishes and wiping down tables to staff every restaurant?
The miners seem at the start of Picard. Not the synths. The human miners. Do you think they want to be doing hot, dangerous work just because they really love rocks?
There are tons of the Cassidy Yates’s, the Harcourt Fenton Muds and the Tom Parises, Kiva Fajos, Khan Nguyen Sings out there.
And let’s not forget the more legitimate captains moving freight. Or whatever they’re doing.
Did you consider that people like the Marquis went into the frontier of federation space and be to an aggressive empire… to establish colonies …. Because that would hopefully lead to a better life?
Every human colonist you see out there left earth (or maybe another colony,) hoping for better. Because they were that desperate.
Or look at Turkana IV- Tasha Yar’s home world-, which was a federation colony that collapsed and was, apparently abandoned to civil war and anarchy.
Naw. Star Trek’s universe- or even just the federation- ain’t utopian at all. And that’s why I love it!
It’s all well and good for starfleet’s flagship’s captain to spew the party lines. But the show’s reality is a great deal more nuanced.
For example, the federation is bureaucratic and authoritarian, chock full of political intrigue, is not shy about genocide. Or arming combatants in a proxy war. Or abandoning failed colonies. Or lying about its warships not being warships.
They lie and convince the kids that it’s all to “better themselves”, but i suggest that if Jake Sisko’sndad wasn’t Fleet he’d have known better.
Oh. And the federation lies about not having a currency- they use it all the time when interacting with aliens. (How do you think starfleet officers and enlisted can afford Quark’s? How do you think they bought a wormhole? How do you think they track economic output? And material wastage and such?)
They lie about being post scarcity, too. Earth might be. But that’s dubious since the post scarcity-ness would likely be exported to the colony worlds, and the colonies are definitely not post scarcity.
It probably wasn’t intended that way, but it’s all very beautifully insidious and nuanced. It’s way more interesting to talk about than a boring-ass utopia.
And having him try to fuck every living being that goes through ten forward.
Like brah, lay off the ensigns, you're abusing your power.
Nah, having relations is not abusing power. Abusing power requires some alterior instigation or dangling of privilege. Simply being the FO and having human need for relationship does not make an abuse of power.
Abuse of power does not require any actual harm.
I didn't say it required harm, either.
Yes, that hierarchical combination would be much better
Riker strikes me as a Class 8 probe type of guy. He doesn't need the taper of the lower class probes but the girth of a Class 9 is a bit too much for him.
For exploring black holes, you probably want a class 1 or 2 probe. Without that flared ring, the probe may get pulled into the anomaly, then you’ll have a bugger of a time getting it back out.
Imagine showing up to sickbay asking for help.
"Doc get the medical tractor beam out. I've got a doozy of a sitch for you."
Class 6 is ribbed. Could be fun...
Why are there probes shaped like sarcophagi?
IIRC, they often use the same casing as for torpedoes (which Star Fleet does also use as coffins)
Meanwhile Picard's out standing in a circle with two other himselves, all generating a static warp shell together.
Male G spot is something amazing. Drop the gay stereotypes and get up in there. Will change your life.
I have to wholly disagree. Every time I or anyone else messes with my P spot, it's incredibly uncomfortable. It's like saying good oral has to squeeze your uvula. It's a ridiculous standard not applicable to many and presumptive in how others respond to extreme stimulation.
It's not for everyone, that's for sure.
It's not my homophobia. It's my coprophobia.
I think I've been on the internet too long .... because I was both really worried and aroused to see what Deanna's last panel was going to say
lol!!!
