The resemblance is a little uncanny.

Bell Riots kick off in 6 days, and we have a proto Borg queen coming online in 2024 just like that old gypsy woman said. Maybe we do live in the Trek universe.

That would be way cooler than whatever actually happens with this brain dead idea.

Indeed.

Honestly, I never really thought that being a Borg would be as horrific as the show tried to claim, especially with the way Seven described it.

I guess it just depends on how much of “you” is still in there and aware. If your consciousness and will are fully suppressed, yeah, it probably wouldn’t seem all that bad.

OTOH, the body horror of the assimilation process could go either way. The nanoprobes could suppress the pain, or they could just paralyze you. I just try not to think about that lol.

Anyone wearing headphones while having a conversation IRL is very disrespectful.

I agree with that and also agree with the opposite: anyone trying to start a conversation with me while I’m wearing headphones is very disrespectful lol.

Yeah, I can see that, though you might want to give the other party some time to explain what the issue is, just incase it is something important

What if they’re talking to someone who speaks a different language and they’re using their phone and headphones to translate in real time? 🤔

Then the other party would probably need translation back, so just use a loudspeaker and swap translation direction.

That’s… just weird. There’s performance art, and whatever this has turned into with time.

But, the all important question remains: where is the best place to eat cheesecake within a mile of New York???

Create post

/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.
