“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 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.”

genuinely i don’t think it’s possible to easily explain the explicit part of online friendships to people who don’t Understand. i don’t mean like, explicit in the sense of “oh you’re sexting” or whatever. no. i mean when you and your friend start gleefully making up explicit sexual scenarios for your shared blorbos and you get giddier and giddier as you add more detail and you’ll be grinning at your screen as you type away at mach speeds. and it’s entirely nonsexual in an interpersonal sense, you’re not really getting Into it, but ohhhhh it’s soooooo fun and satisfying. and you can NEVER tell someone who doesn’t also do this that your mood is actively improved like fivefold because you and your friend played Sexual Tuoys together because they’ll go “what the FUCK.”

Hi everyone! I found an interesting article about ADHD. Apparently according to one study, sleep waves seem to appear during wakefulness. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

“Frequent forgetfulness, careless mistakes, or difficulty sustaining attention and resisting distractions: attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects about 2.5% of adults, yet its biological mechanisms remain poorly understood.

In a study published in TheJournal of Neuroscience, an international team suggests that the symptoms of this disorder may be linked to the intrusion of slow waves—usually observed during sleep—into wakefulness.

This phenomenon, known as “local sleep,” could explain the fluctuations in attention and the drowsiness often observed in people with ADHD.

To reach these conclusions, researchers compared the brain activity of 32 adults with ADHD who were receiving medication with that of 31 neurotypical adults, while participants performed a task requiring sustained attention.

The result: “Adults with ADHD show a significantly higher density of slow waves, which are usually observed during deep sleep. These waves are not trivial: the higher their density, the more participants make inattentive errors and show slower or more variable reaction times,” explains Thomas Andrillon (Inserm), researcher in the DreamTeam at the Paris Brain Institute and senior author of the study.

Participants with ADHD also reported more episodes of “mind wandering” and “mind blanking,” two states directly correlated with these local sleep intrusions. In addition, the level of fatigue reported by participants increased as slow-wave activity accumulated during sustained attentional effort”

truly one of the most demoralising things about being in the job market atm is "only successful applicants will be notified" is practically a universal standard. so you spend hours, sometimes days filling out applications, writing CVs and cover letters only to be ghosted as the only form of communication. Not even a "thank you but this time you've been unsuccessful" email. You're in a constant state of "did I not get it or have they not contacted me?" and you just have to eventually conclude you were unsuccessful without so much as courtesy, "sorry, but thank you for your application." A literal thankless cycle for months and months and months. You'd think with all the ways to automate these processes they would at least have the time, means and decency to acknowledge your submission and let you off the hook, but no. You're just in limbo in every possible way in the name of "efficiency". Solidarity with everyone going through this because it is truly dehumanising and demoralising to work so hard on putting yourself forward constantly without acknowledgement or useful communication of any sort for long periods of time, and most ppl simply will not have any compassion for what that's like.

gentle reminder that good things do not only happen in your teenage years or twenties. there is so much more awaiting for you and it’s never too late for anything. your thirties, forties, fifties, sixties and hopefully more will be wonderful. you’ve got to remember that the best years of your life are not only in your twenties
