/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.

I want to upvote, but the rebellious use of the meme format is triggering me.

There are plenty of good background episodes, but if it's Measure of a Man, the Borg episodes, Q, or Vash, I know I'm not getting anything done.

Man, I get sucked into the low stakes episodes too... Can't help it!

I'll have you know it was a very productive 20 minutes.

Queue up an episode to rewatch a specific scene

End up watching the entire episode

Every. Single. Time!

This is why I can't work with the TV on. Hell, even podcasts are dangerous for me

That why I switched to classical music during chores. But there are so many facets and subtleties to a violin that you can hear if you listen very closely. ... and that's how I found out I was on the spectrum.

But this is just the normal ability to appreciate music, right?... right?

Might be ADHD right?

Either way, def neurodivergent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

death metal is the way.

I did this with John Mulaney's "New In Town" when it first came out. Was going to be background sounds while I cleaned and ironed. Did neither.

When I discovered his original 3 stand-up specials on Netflix, I watched them with full attention. After that I watched them when I went to bed. Watch until I fell asleep (usually within 5 minutes). The next day pick up where I last remembered and did it again. I rotated through them at bedtime for months. Gotta have something entertaining, but not actively engaging so I can fall asleep to it. Comedy specials the 2nd or 3rd time through work for this. No surprises means I don't miss anything by falling asleep.

That's why I put on, then I'm never tempted to stop and watch.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I go with music on vinyl because there's nothing to sit to watch and the the inability to skip a song or change bands from my phone means I'm much more likely to get at least 1 side of 1 album of work done before I get distracted.

Some LP covers have enough detail to have you looking for a good 30 minutes.

Varies depending on how high you are.
