    Or any moron that lifts their 4×4 but doesn’t correct their angles. Bonus points if they get brighter lights instead because they swear things aren’t as illuminated as they used to be.

    I want headlights that are bright enough for me to see but not so bright they blind others

    I was in a Tesla Lyft the other day, and the guy had his brights on the entire ride. Unbelievable.

      Many teslas have matrix lights. They detect where other cars are and the block the light going there. It actually works pretty well. They also effectively point around curves in roads as you turn the wheel which is really nice on little highways at night.

        Awesome for other cars but shit for cyclists or pedestrians.

          I’ve seen it work on motorbikes, I’m pretty sure it would work on a bike with a front light. I don’t think people in cars tend to drop their high beams for pedestrians; it’s more important to see the pedestrians, I would think.

      I can see how you might want to keep your mouth shut until you get safely to your destination, but maybe you should have told him on your way out. In case it wasn’t on purpose.

Welcome to Risa

All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.

Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon

This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.

  • No harassment, brigading, or trolling
  • No bigotry
  • Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo

Some things aren’t welcome aboard.

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek

Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.

  • Crossovers are fine
  • Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole

You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don’t get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.


If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn’t inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.

Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.
