Was looking for an old post of mine and noticed jawa21’s comments were all marked deleted as well as the account. Was like “aww, man, not her too”.

I kind of love how Star Trek booze is all sorts of horrible shades of color. Kanar looks like muddy water; whatever Scotty has here (Romulan ale? But that’s usually blue, right?) looks like algae water.
whatever Scotty has here
Aldebran whiskey
Romulan ale looks delicious, but that’s probably just me expecting the usual “blue” flavor I’m used to lol.
Blue is a perfectly respectable alcohol color. Romulan ale looks like Curaçao to me. Maybe Curaçao that’s emitting Cherenhov radiation, but still… at least it looks like booze and not something you scooped out of a stagnant puddle. Anyway, I love the effort to try to make it look “alien,” like, someone actually put thought into how to make a liquid look alien.
Semi-related, and I forget where I read it, but I think for Kanar, it was just corn syrup and caramel coloring.
Edit: Oh, yeah, Memory Alpha, duh.
Karo syrup was used for brown kanar to create the effect of a dark, thick liquid, which Damar actor Casey Biggs actually drank. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 696) Property Master Joe Longo joked, in Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 1, Issue 4, that “he was drinking so much he was getting wired, so we started using a thickened sugar-free pancake syrup.”
That’s hilarious!
Pouring one out. But old 10F’ers are never truly gone, we’re just waiting for the plot to bring them back. Probably during sweeps week.
I love the warped sense of humor you folks have in here.
I’d shorthand it as 10-> patrons or 10 4s but that’s just my brain.
I went to “10 fargers”.
Hope the homies are doing okay offline.
Pour one out for absent friends and for the tradition’s sake.

Ten forward is the community of Theseus.
and this ship is on fire! because this ship is literally on FIRE!
Aren’t all communities that way? It’s ok to have one or two long timers, but fresh blood keeps it alive
Ok, this isn’t right in a lot of ways, but I am desperate. Things are, in fact, very bad for me. I’m working on making a web comic: https://fosswars.thecomicseries.com/

I am, actually begging here, which sucks. I’m working on new stuff as fast as I can.

EDIT: Reading further into posts from that Mastodon account, I see that:
- They quit Lemmy due to abuse via DMs
- They are active at https://transfem.social/@lyrial
Good to know. Thanks. Hope she’s doing well.
Edit: Ah, she explained further down why she left. :(
We had a choice to keep jawa21 or the toxic A-holes that abused her in DMs. We chose the toxic A-holes. Lemmy truly is a special place - and not always in the good way:-(.
Damn, I didn’t know anything about this.
Me either, and iirc it was quite recent.:-(
It’s like we’re stuck in the Mirror Universe and all the ways to cross over haven’t been invented yet
Not true! Tenforward exists - nobody can bully in here:-) - and dubvee.org for WVians, and PieFed lets me avoid 99.9% of tankies. But on Lemmy, in DMs, yeah that would require admin support that I suppose she just didn’t have the strength to ask for anymore (guessing from her message). Definitely not all areas of the Threadiverse are such safe spaces as here:-).
oh, I meant IRL lol
Oh, yeah, I hear you there. With the added detraction that climate change may doom us all (or… half? I dunno, nobody does I suppose) in as little as 1-2 decades, and whether we end up avoiding that or not, either way the accelerationism has begun in earnest.:-( I for one feel bullied lately even (especially?) by true facts! 😭
Going out to all our missing homies.
Where did Stamets go?
He sleepin’ needed a break from being our meme and chuckle friend, can be hard work.
Working in the meme factory can change a man.
Was Stamets the one that moved to a provence in the east of Canada, while they were here?
Wait we lost jawa21 too? ://
aye laddie… it really is an awful feeling.
Y’all are so weird.
