Then again, with how much can be done casually by literally anyone who is on the ship, not just starfleet personnel, what even is privacy anymore in 2380?
/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.

While I do agree that patient privacy is especially bad in the shows, I've overheard plenty of diagnoses while waiting in waiting rooms and emergency rooms. I don't try to, but people aren't as quiet as they thin they are I guess.
So yeah, I've absolutely heard some rando in the next bed over has chlamydia because they and their doctor were openly discussing it with 10 other people within earshot.
Yeah that's definitely true. I've been in that situation, too.
But oddly enough strangers hearing about my medical issues is usually less disturbing to me than close friends. I know I should be able to trust the friends more.
Yeah, but who cares if some rando knows your butthole bleeds when you poo. You're never gonna see them again, they will probably never think about it again.
But people you see every day, and interact with socially?
They see you every day and will probably be reminded of the thing they overheard every so often when they see you.
It is awkward.
But if they're worthy of your time, they won't go telling anyone else about it.
It just sits there in their brain.
They can't un-know.
