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.

I just know that as a really shitty tequila
But on a serious note... I don't know. Whether regions use commas and decimal points in numbers like 1,234.56 or 1.234,56, it seems they still just use dots for an ellipsis.
That's how they use and ellipsis on Nissan IV.
I think they convey the dramatic pause perfectly
They equal one Shatner pause
The three commas are perfect. Don't mess with them.
The comma ellipsis is giving me anxiety.
Barefoot on the pavement? Ew.
We evolved to be barefoot. Just sayin'.
Not in the pavement
Hey, I was going to say that.
This word, "evolved." I do not think it means what you think it means.
Does it not? Did our feet select toward the wearing of shoes that didn't exist until long after the feet we evolved gained their basic structure?
We didn't evolve to BE barefoot. Simply that our progenitors survived long enough to pass on their genes, ostensibly by being mobile and healthy enough to procreate.
That says nothing of bareness- a biologically successful group could simply be the ones who protected their feet enough to meet the original conditions (ie mating).
In other words, you don't armor where the bullet holes are when a war plane returns, you armor where they're not.
I think you're being a little nitpicky. We didn't evolve to be anything. Evolution is allele frequency over time.
But in layman's terms, we evolved to be barefoot because the structure of our feet evolved before shoes were invented and so the most efficient foot shape for walking without shoes was selected for.
I see a nit, I pick it.
Crap
I have no idea how I'm going to make pickup truck memes.
