The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
So yesterday I had to go to this safety lecture thing for my field school in Portugal. There was only 10 of us from the group there, I think there are 18 or so going intotal. But of the 10 of us I was the only guy there.
They should probably just go ahead and reword it to: "Do not interfere in the development of non-warp capable societies unless it's really, really, important."
It's just a plot device that allows them to not do anything up to the point where intervening means they have to shoot stuff.
I shit you not there's a large number of people who think it's a good idea. As if genocide is somehow unacceptable to intervene in ten minutes before they develop warp technology.

See, I'd be cool with that at least. I'd prefer a set guideline for interfering with a species where one then had to prove it had an overall benefit.
I love how it was designed to be used so people could do things like access... and then no one ever used it except programmers and it's still this horrible mess of shit.

Non-interference can have benefit too. Do you know how much entertainment Janeway got from watching primitive species blow up their own planet and self-genocide? You can't buy entertainment like that.

The cop doing the shooting was white, the cop getting shot was black. Anyone surprised?
Man with a gun and no obvious police ID running down the street chasing another man without a gun. Cops ID themselves and say drop it, man turns turns towards police without IDing himself still with the gun.
Sorry, but unless the off-duty cop was IDing himself, this is just a horrible mistake.

Are you really saying that white people are the better shooters?
No, Than. Just no.
