We moved here around 8 or 9 years ago and took down the tattered flag in the flag holder then. We figured it was about time we replaced it.
Then suddenly, the house across the street starts flying this:

/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 or fascism. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

Holy shit. Could you imagine that actually happening? If I put up a federation flag and my neighbor put up a Klingon in response, I think I just found my new best friend
I don't think that that would be a good idea, most people would assume them to be a nazi lol
Yes, this happened in Bochum (Germany) a few years ago when a man notified the police because he thought that someone displays a Nazi flag...
As long as it's not a Cardassian flag.
Bloody Cardis.
Here's hoping next door join in with the flag of the Klingon Empire
And another neighbor with a mysteriously empty flag holding bracket.
Congratulations!
May I ask if you retired the old flag properly?
If you mean according to flag code, no. But there was like half a flag there. It think the wind retired it a long time ago. It was a rag.
True, understood.
As far as I'm aware, the proper way is to burn the old flag. It should never touch the ground though.
I'm not an expert nor a nitpicker on this matter though, but congrats on the new flag!
It's a worthless piece of cloth. It doesn't matter.
-signed: veteran.
It is just a piece of cloth, who cares/how does it matter?
Exactly. It doesn't.
Just figured I'd ask regardless, as I was criticized for putting my late father's flag on the ground, even though it was still sealed in the plastic.
🤷♂️
I wouldn't be concerned about criticism from petty nationalists. It's entirely pointless and unhealthy for your attention span.
Tradition, and a harmless one at that.
Dad was a Torpedo Man, 3rd Class, in the Pacific. He taught me that. Why should I not pass that down to my kids?
And besides, knowing the Flag Code allows you to bag on all the assholes breaking it.
Not really a harmless one, it is a typical outgrowth of the American hypernationalism and an utterly jingoist tradition in the sense that it glorifies the military that really doesn't deserve any glorification anymore.
We already know what you look like man. Like an albino Klingon.
