“the millenium falcon would wipe out the enterprise in seconds” lmao the enterprise is just an innocent science class floating thru space…. all they wanna do is look at some rocks… kiss an alien…. find some space plants….. why would you fight that its not a battleship theyre just nerds…… leave them olone

A friend of mine saw this and brought up some interesting arguments

so, in other words,

[professor-maple-mod]

Pretty much.

[jaegerdelta]

here have some size comparison

[two-punch-man]

Who wins in a fight, a fully staffed Navy research vessel or your local weed man and his best friend in their souped up VW Bus?

So while it’s true that the Enterprise is not as big as people think, that goes double for the Falcon!

A good way of thinking about the relative size is by using a bridge comparison:

The Enterprise bridge has space for 11 people to work, as well as a significant amount of space between stations to move around comfortably:

[Bridge illustration by Tobias Weinmann via here]

And the whole thing fits in the nipple thing up on top of the saucer:

Meanwhile the Falcon (beloved weed bus) has a cockpit that seats 4, with only 2 main operational stations, and zero floor space:

And since Serenity was mentioned too…

Serenity has a bridge more comparable to La Sirena - with 2 stations at the front and quite a bit of floor space.

And for those interested in a visual comparison:

(Boeing 747 for scale as well as the Delta Flyer because Why Not)

TLDR: The Millennium Falcon is pretty dinky, so I propose *true weed bus status* goes to the excellent smuggling ships of Serenity and La Sirena. The Falcon is herby demoted to man on his weed bicycle with his pet monkey and a gun (to be clear the monkey is Solo)

“man on his weed bicycle with his pet monkey and a gun”

This is the analysis I am here for

And shall it be the worshipping or rebuking the feminine construct for today

I have been doing physical therapy for my legs, and these are great tips!

[podcastwizard]

thinking about all the times as a kid in a group project someone didn’t want to do the work so they’d go “ugh i don’t get it, i don’t get any of this” and I’d go “okay! what don’t you understand and maybe i can help! 😊” and they’d look at me like i’m the idiot. anyway people still do this as an adult and there is no escape

Showing off the Arapaima I made! (Pattern also made by me)

This was the test of the new pattern and I love her. 🎏💕

[mapswithoutwyoming]

legend tells of a mysterious being called “nuance” that allows multiple things to be true at the same time. some say you can still hear its voice whispering in the trees

[starrynet]

that’s his little guy!!

I wish I had what they have...

I love the word "jamboree". If I had a daughter I'd name her Jamboree Lynn, and if I had a son, I'd leave him in the woods to be raised by coyotes.

[bananonbinary]

what if he grew up never knowing you were his parent and came back to kill you in a tragic twist of fate tho

[c3rvida3]

happens

[cheaphalloweencostume]

Jamboree Lynn would handle the situation i imagine

[ororium-z]

Happy Pride!

like at least 50% of internet lgbt discourse would evaporate if people quit using the term "spaces" when they mean "discord servers" or "tumblr blogs" because we would collectively realize how stupid that shit is

[otabekisautistic]

“this is a lesbian-only space” no this is the tiktok comments on a chappell roan video

[not-terezi-pyrope]

I feel like a lot of the discourse I hear about "all cops are bastards" or "there are no good cops" is fundamentally missing the point of what is meant by it. It's not a statement about the average, everyday moral character of individual police officers, it's making a practical observation that, when you agree to become a police officer, you are agreeing to undertake all of the contracted duties of a police officer when required, some of which are just straightforwardly morally evil.

This also is not making the claim that everything done by police is morally objectionable. In fact a lot of work that ends up being done by police departments is pretty unambiguously prosocial. But even if it were the case that most or almost all of it were, if you take a job at a food kitchen where the contract stipulates you need to shoot every 1000th client, you're still the guy who just agreed to murder a bunch of folks for your boss. "But 99.9% of it was just serving nutritious food to my community!" is not a good defense to the charge leveled especially when you could in your own time dedicate yourself to serving your community without also agreeing to wield violence against it.

For the record I don't think that the percentage of police work that is "good" is actually that high, but the point is that it is immaterial. The point is that intrinsic to the role is the use of state violence to uphold unjust structural power. That's the point; not that every cop is an asshole in an interpersonal way, or personally evil in their every day life (although many are). But I'm just as sure many are extremely personable or even typically fairly kind people who are uninformed or have bought the propaganda, to the point that they can ignore the reality of what they are doing.

Still acting as a state bastard when they help toss you in a cell for nonviolent drug crime, though. The system is evil and they have accessed to acting as its agents.

Genies can only grant wishes that are things that an ordinary person could do, just better and faster. The jinn are the creations of a divine being, and so they are part of the divine plan and cannot defy the natural order of things; a wish granted by a jinni can’t turn the day into night or the sea into yogurt, but if you wish for a temple to be built, a jinni will build it by hand, the way men do, and have it done in a day.

If you need a wish granted that defies the natural order you gotta catch a leprechaun, because no god was involved in their creation whatsoever. They just kinda showed up one day in the nineteenth century. The Aos Sí have no idea what their deal is

[kreetn]

You’re not hiding this in the tags buddy

[flagellant]

i don't hide things in tags i simply allow the proletariat to determine whether it is praxis to make my statements heard.

My new favorite thing is journalism that treats the United States like we do other countries.

Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing — Colonies surged 15-fold

Scientists have developed a breakthrough “superfood” for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in

TLDR- Modern agriculture pollen is low in nutrients, and there aren’t enough wildflowers. Science has to develop vitamins to supplement the diets of agricultural bees. So plant some wildflowers for the wild bees near you.

i’m doing really well for someone who goes through the five stages of grief every day

[loveridden1999]

"this too shall pass" sure but have you considered the fact that i don't like the way it's passing
