An untimely dig at an old bit
"FLYING CARS" ARE HERE! THEY ARE CALLED HELICOPTERS AND CESSNAS AND ONLY RICH PEOPLE HAVE THEM.
ENOUGH OF THEM KILL THEMSELVES FLYING THAT THERE'S A WIKIPEDIA PAGE FOR IT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatalities_from_aviation_accidents
tw: not-dead british shitbag
FUCK CARS, FUCK HELICOPTERS, THE FEWER DUMBASSES WE HAVE ZIPPING AROUND IN HIGH-VELOCITY METAL CANS FULL OF VOLATILES THE BETTER.
There are no billionaires
Real talk for a second, there are literally no billionaires.
Going way back, latin has 'mille' for thousand, hence MMXXVI, and a 'million' is a mille times a mille, very logical.
Now, if I have a mono-illion with six 0s, billion should, and is in a wide range of languages and dialects still is, twelve 0s. The prefixes bi- tri- quad-, the way they're used in modern English is anti-intuitive.
The missing link is the 'milliard', a million times a thousand, so the powers of 1000 are: mille million milliard billion billiard trillion trilliard
THE RULES MAKE SO MUCH MORE SENSE, A BILLION TIMES A BILLION IS A QUADRILLION. A TRILLION HAS THREE TIMES AS MANY 0S AS A MILLION.
"There shouldn't be billionaires", is something I wholeheartedly agree with, thankfully at the moment there are literally no billionaires.
On the other hand, the milliardaires should consider themselves extremely on-notice for their stupid crimes against language. There shouldn't be any of them either, but we should at least get our terms straight.
postscriptfunfact: Many of Carl Sagan's "Billions and billions" still apply! Space is big.
For context, I sent a few bucks to DF back in 2011 or so, and at that time Z&T were sending out little colored-pencil drawings. And the one they sent me was a scene of a dwarf receiving a blue (adamantium? hope so) sword from a critter in a lake, a-la Excalibur.
Inevitably, that cool blue sword is going to be used to challenge the horrors of the deep.
Extra-touched version.

I'm a sucker for wack sci-fi artwork (often c.o. @sandmandaddy69), and I like to flip through the old pulp magazines sometimes attached to said artwork. Very rare for the image to match the story even remotely (and not the case here), but I got a real kick out of this one:
Worlds of Tomorrow v04n04 (1967 05)
'The Throwaway Age' is a 'pretty based' story about a CIA man sent to infiltrate a new left-wing movement and nip it in the bud if it looks to be getting too left-y. The movement members use every lefty chestnut known to highschoolers to convince him that capitalism is stupid and bad actually.
'highschoolers' not as a dig, pulp knows where it's aiming. Anyways, the Dances With Wolves/Avatar deal is fairly cliche, but the punchline!
who knows, somebody could still use this

Capybaras bask in the morning sun on the shore of a pond in Barinas, Venezuela. Native to South America, these rodents have become breakout stars on social media—inspiring many to seek them out as exotic pets.

"In the oblivion of fear and confusion, Jughead perceived a void punctured by one light. He reached out towards it, his unfeeling fingers somehow still receiving commands. Toni reached out. Veronica reached out. Something reached back." Hey, it's the latest chapter of my Space Runaway Ideon - Riverdale crossover fanfiction 'Space Riverdale Archideon' (rated T for Teen).
Just a heads up: it's very likely that KOSA will pass and trans people will get silenced on social media sites like this one. Please take time NOW to subscribe to newsletters and Patreons of trans creators, because we won't be able to each you otherwise.
Hey, I just want everybody to know that Iron Chef is on youtube and it's a real good cooking show you should watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMxml-5ZhoU
