  • I'm willing to admin. I run into a lot of nasty people and content already, and I'd like to be able to do something about it. I haven't had the misfortune of seeing CSAM on here, so thanks admins, and I understand being an admin would mean probably seeing that kind of stuff. I have a lot of respect for the admin team that already exists on this instance, honestly I think you guys are the most LGBTQ-friendly instance I've encountered. I want to help contribute to that vibe.

  • The gay spock problem is when you have two characters interacting who have the same pronouns, and it gets confusing. For example,

    He brushed his hair aside and spoke gently into his ear, "you are my one true love, my light and laughter, my reason to live."

    Who's the one speaking? Kirk or Spock?

    Likewise, if Alice and Barbara or Adam and Bob are your two example people, you'll run into the gay spock problem.

  • Some cops might help others as a hobby when they're not busy, but that's not what they're paid for. Cops are paid primarily to enforce bourgeois property rights and maintain the government, which in much of the English speaking world is a monarchy and/or a colony. Cops are soldiers in a war against the people.

  • The tourists are renting cars because your city isn't walkable and there's not enough public transit. If you added extra lanes for the tourists, then the locals would see all the empty lanes in winter and move deeper into the suburbs and drive more. Eventually the roads would be full in winter, and jammed in summer again. You need to build a train line to the airport and trams in the metro area.

  • Back then Mariner couldn't be a leader because she was still working out her rage issues. Rutherford didn't truly know himself and struggled with his implant. Tendi was ashamed to be an Orion and wasn't usually willing to use her pirate skills. Boimler wasn't bold.

    They were all held back in really important ways.

  • That's Star Trek as hell

    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity.

    Mariner became an ass kicker at Starfleet. Rutherford turned his genius into something caring and kind. Tendi learned to feel accepted for every part of herself and to use her two halves together. Boimler got bold.

    A positive environment for people to learn and grow can transform the mediocre of the mediocre into the best of the best. It drew out the hidden talents within them and turned them into badasses
