/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. 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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

Oh, Bev. We may have fallen into the intellectual deep end here. And if you try to grab on to me, we'll both drown. (tesseract.dubvee.org)

Your message could have been more efficient:

"who say" already implies people, so you could have said "those who say" to be less redundant.
"do so" is needlessly making a reference to exactly what you just said. Try "They say 'tuna fish' because".
"someone else" is redundant because the only person that's not "else" is the person in question, and they wouldn't have heard it from themselves.
"the kind of people to" is redundant because you already established that they're people. "the kind who" would be more efficient.
"blindy follow others" doesn't need to say "others" because it's obvious that they'd be following someone other than themselves.
"neither of those redundancies" is also a tad redundant, referring back to the established redundancies and then calling them redundancies again.

So a less redundant version of your message:

They say "tuna fish" because they heard someone say it, and are the kind who blindly follows rather than engage in critical inquiry and actively eliminate redundancy.

Intelligent people say neither redundancy.

Of course, I'm just poking fun. I don't expect anyone to eliminate all redundancy from their speaking; some of it has use, especially in verbal communication. For example, saying "datil pepper" even though datil also refers to the pepper is useful because someone may not recognize that a datil is a pepper upon hearing it (though you'd be hard pressed to find that scenario with tuna outside of ESL.)
