/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.

God damn it ... now I have to watch Life Of Brian ... it's been years, decades since I last saw it
For anyone who sees this ... Monty Python's 'Life Of Brian' is a 1979 film that should be instituted as essential to Memery 101
I though Monty Python and the Holy Grail was awful. Is this film any better, or just the same humor?
For modern audiences, it would probably be seen as awful. A lot of a humour is dated and not that funny. But there are moments and scenes where everything is still very relevant and will always be relevant.
One of the greatest criticisms of Monty Python and satirical comedy is that it all just places a giant mirror on society and forces everyone to look at reality in a different light .... and in many instances, that mirror image makes us realize just how absurd reality can be sometimes. Some people are enlightened by it ... some people absolutely do not want anyone to ever question their beliefs or how they see the world. I find that the people who enjoy Monty Python are the ones who are able to critically look at the world ... and those that absolutely hate it are the ones who think there is nothing wrong with the world no matter how absurd.
That is the greatest thing about Monty Python and as an Indigenous person, I've always appreciated it ... they will make you laugh and think at the same time. One of the greatest ways to share an important life lesson or message with someone is to tell a funny story and make people laugh ... the humour and laughter will make them remember those ideas forever.
This is the hardest I've laughed at a Lemmy thread since I started using it .... you've my day, my night, my week ... oh my god I'm weak and my wife thinks I've lost it
I'm now going to have to watch Life of Brian as well. It's been over a decade also, and that's too long.
