/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.

That show has a ton of great skits. I wonder what the joke per minute is for it? Some of them overlap and others are just in the background. It deserves more love.
Sometimes when life hands you lemons, all you can do is laugh in the face of it all.
We're men, we're men in tights.
TIGHT tights!
TOS has more vaudeville in it than Comic Book Guy would like to admit, but - and here’s a secret - that’s what makes it great.
It sure does.
It's the release from the stress of the moment.
Followed by no PTSD therapy. But one quick memory wipe from Bones down in sickbay and he'll be right as rain for the next episode.
If I recall, by the end of “Operation -- Annihilate!”, Kirk was completely unaffected by his brother and sister-in-law dying and his nephew ultimately being orphaned. That “episodic status quo-ism” really took away my suspension of disbelief. In contrast, “A Private Little War” does succeed at implying that the crew (or at least Kirk) is hardened by the missions, whereas "Requiem for Methuselah" almost lampshades how the characters (or at least Kirk) remain static.
Also, please turn off the drop shadow on your text. It’s hard to read like that.
Kirk had a full grown son he didn't give two shits about. He also didn't want to see any of his family in the afterlife/Nexus.
Family man is not a discription anyone used for him.
Much of episodic TV followed that Gilligan's Island trope of ending on a quip, regardless of context. Especially jarring after disasters.
The text effect is a default I can't remove. It's as clean as I can get it without instead formatting through imgflip or otherwise.
My method for putting a caption above a meme image is to type and format the caption in Google Slides and screenshot it. Then, crop the screenshot of text and use an online image merger to turn the screenshot and the meme image into one image.
[Edit: added strikethrough] Imgflip ~~is alright except for the downgrade in image quality.~~ I tend to use it if I need text with a border around it to be legible over an image. The watermark is easy to circumvent by adding unused spacing at the bottom of the output image and then cropping.
Imgflip allows for full quality in a sub menu before posting. At which point the watermark is near invisible anyhow.
Oh, is that only with an account? I never saw a need to post onto Imgflip so I hadn’t explored that avenue
No account needed.
Prior to hitting Generate Meme is a pull-down menu.
And you'll notice the teensy, tiny watermark in the corner.
Good to know, thank you
It's ok, O'Brien has them saved in the buffer
