/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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I know the apostrophe is divisive, but I'm in a bad spot, ok?

Everyone should be aware of how close to starvation and hunger we all really are ... I live in Canada, I'm Indigenous Canadian so we grew up poor. In my lifetime, we always had enough but my parents lived through famine in the 40s and 50s in Canada!

A lack of food in the world is just a stop in the production of food supplies or the transport of food in your area for about two days. Grocery stores have a turn over supply of fresh food of about two days, canned and preserved food will last about a week in a small town before everyone buys everything out, and the supplies are so micromanaged to the finest detail that there is no surplus supply beyond that. Basically, everything you see on the shelves is more or less everything the store has. So when food shipments stop for any reason in any region in North America, no matter how wealthy we are, hunger and famine will start right away.

Good thing I still have my Covid hoard of spaghetti Os, baked beans and tuna. Worst case I can throw them at the gangs of roving thieves who will inevitably be coming to steal my canned goods.
