/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.

There’s no need to be angry just because you’re mistaken.

I think you are very much mistaken there.

when your arguments get rejected, you try to make me angry by saying "calm down"? that is pretty pathetic discussion tactic.

VISOR:

no proof it can match the visible spectrum of human eyes, in spite of your lies and unfounded assumptions
causes pain and headaches
can malfunction
can get lost or stolen
can be exploited by romulan intelligence to turn you into zombie

no reasonable person consider that superior to human eyes, which is why there weren't people standing in line to gouge their eyes out and replace them with visor.

i don't plan to run in circles with you until xmas, so bye and welcome to my blocklist

You made statements that I disproved (e.g. that human brains are incapable of processing anything not in the visible light spectrum), then you became aggressive that I did so.

no proof it can match the visible spectrum of human eyes, in spite of your lies and unfounded assumptions

Yes there is.

causes pain and headaches

Rarely, but yes. So can normal eyes though.

can malfunction

See above.

can get lost or stolen

Yep.

can be exploited by romulan intelligence to turn you into zombie

Yep.

None of that means they're objectively inferior.

Geordi wanted to keep his visor and bionic eyes.
