I have changed my username, and wanted to make a small note of it for anyone who might notice and wonder. Formerly please-pet-the-dread-wolf.

Can someone explain what exactly is the train of thought in people who see a post like "hey if you set your huge fucking dog that runs up to strangers unprompted and also tackles people for fun loose in a public park on purpose, and you just watch that thing endanger everyone without doing anything to stop it, you are an asshole" and decide to dissect it like "hey what if it isn't a huge dog, but just a really really tiny one, who is actually also really skittish of strangers, and I didn't take it off the leash on purpose and it's also not my dog, and actually not a dog at all and was actually just a squirrel? Am I an asshole for seeing a squirrel in the park?" And they're dead fucking serious.

genuinely I'm so sick of people wanting all fiction to be ethical. can we all just get a little gross with it. the point of fiction is that it's not real. we can be unethical in fiction; same goes with being perverted with fiction, being unrealistic with fiction, and being grotesque with fiction. not all fiction has to be ethical, not every character has to be ethical, and that's okay. can we stop with the puritanism. be gross. be unrealistic. be whatever. if I don't like it it's not my business as long as we're all clear that its fictional.

via ered.bsky.social, the only kinds of unethical fiction:

people in the replies are going "what about books glorifying unethical things" and "what if it's propaganda" and you, my friends, are who this comic was made for

“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.

here have some size comparison

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)

This is the analysis I am here for

I was gonna say it’s more like a weed guy and his 1986 Honda Civic hatchback.

This is something that actually gets brought up in the Star Trek canon, since it’s standard Federation policy to state that they do not make warships. They make diplomatic and science vessels, and then they arm those science vessels purely for self defence, because it’s a dangerous universe out there. The Federation, as a matter of policy, does not have a navy, they have an exploration fleet. Starfleet is - they will take great pains to stress - a purely scientific and diplomatic organisation.

To which every other civillisation immediately calls bullshit, because “Yo, what the fuck bro, your ‘lightly armed science vessel’ can go to toe-to-toe with our top of the line warships!”

And the Federation’s response to this accusation can more or less be summed up as “You’re absolutely right, our lightly armed science vessels can go toe-to-toe to with your best warships… Which means you probably don’t want to find out what happens if we actually start building warships.”

God will see you at the lowest point of your life, and say "what the fuck I thought I killed that thing." But you skitter too fast and you are too creepy.

"I have never seen a cat that showed affection/love for it's owner" is the pet ownership version of "I don't believe in Female Orgasms they don't exist, after all, my wife has never had one"
