/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

What I found most interesting about this episode was how real it actually is.

Russian proverbs are well-known to often be incomprehensible to someone who didn't grow up there.

Translating across most languages is difficult just for this reason. Sayings can be difficult to grok even between British and US English.

Have ya got any more of those untranslatable Russian proverbs?

In last season of "The Boy" one of the characters used a russian proverb "Trust but verify" and I learned that it was popularized in USA by Ronald Reagan.

A lot of Americans think Reagan invented that proverb.
