Honestly, the end justifying all means is an attitude I’d expect from lemmygrad, not from here. I know, that’s not how you put it, but think about it that way

“The ends justify the means” is an argument often used by people that know the thing that they’re doing is pretty awful, and are trying to come up with some kind of hand waving justification.

But as a thought process it isn’t bad in and of itself. Every time you undergo surgery it’s because the ends justify the means.

It could be more favorably expressed as “short-term pain, long-term gain”.

Inaction is being complicit especially when it comes to fighting oppression.

And power structures reproduce themselves. Unity of means and ends is crucial when you don’t want to just build a new oppressive system

/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.
