TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

AKSHUALLY! pushes glasses higher on nose
The hole in the ozone layer is on track to be completely gone by 2066 thanks to the Montreal Protocol.
It's the example of an international natural preservation effort that resulted in positive changes and where international cooperation just... worked. If we could apply the same successes humanity had with this to the problem of climate change instead of everyone going "but we should not be required to reduce emissions until THEY points reduce emissions!" we would be in a much better position regarding our civilisations future.
Any time someone tells you how such international efforts never work... point them to the shrinking hole in the ozone layer.
Capitalism: How much would it cost to fix this?
Science: A little effort now, and barely an inconvenience after year 3. If businesses made a mild effort it could cost big businesses roughly 5 million this year, 3 million next year, subsidized by taxpayer money, and after that you'd start seeing new avenues of revenu...
Capitalism: That's too expensive. Instead let's spend about 50 million dollars lobbying lawmakers to vote against this then spend another 175 million on propaganda stating it's all a liberal lie.
Science: So you'd rather spend close to a quarter of a billion dollars now to ignore a problem that could be solved for less than 10 over 2 years?
I agree, the Montreal Protocol was a fantastic example of international cooperation.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we're at the point where one company can undo all that good work unfortunately.
Damn you Elon!
