/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.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

I read it five times
So did we.
I feel like i have so many adhd friends that i understood that on the first read
Perhaps a dilution of Theragen and Scotch could help you calm and re-center.
@ummthatguy I also wish I could. Been on the wagon for a long time. One becomes ten, and -- like ADHD -- it's not necessarily a matter of willpower. Drinking is a destructive variable for me, and I can't have that in my life.
But thank you, I do appreciate the suggestion. It likely wouldn't hurt if my brain were wired a little differently. I'm sure there's a Kelly in a parallel universe who is able to take your advice and is enjoying a nice Glenfiddich on the rocks.
Good on you for recognizing that about yourself and your needs. My good friend with ADHD had to learn the hard way with a few DUI's. They're just over a year sober now and holding together better.
@ummthatguy@lemmy.world oof, that's rough. Some of us do have to learn the hard way, for a number of reasons. Good for your friend, it's no small feat.
Oh, how I wish.
If you tell me to calm down.... Are the walls moving?
Why would you even question that they are moving?!
Because I have to eat a meal before I take my meds and finding the toaster seems overwhelming?!
@verity_kindle, I feel your pain. Even the most trivial and mundane tasks become overwhelming/impossible, even for seemingly easy things like self care. It is so hard to even function as a human being, and it really sucks.
