Something I've wanted for years, but I wish it could have happened for America's 250th, is modern artists covering old American standards. I'm mostly thinking war songs, but take us through the history of the country. Mostly though I just want Beyonce to sing Over There. Idk why, I just think she'd do a good job.
(and yes I'm a liberal but god dammit I love this country and i want to reclaim patriotism away from maga)
my brother works on a boat so when he rants about his job I canāt take it seriously because he keeps angrily referring to his boss as ācaptainā. like sorry ur having 19th century sailor problems my guy
This is my attempt at continuing Chapter 15 from PHM, since Andy Weir was a coward good writer who knows when to leave them wanting more.
I tried to write it as close to his style as possible. And it is CHRONOLOGICALLY accurate. As fun as it is to dive deep into the emotions of "grace is baby" and "rocky angry they send baby to die", at this point in the book, Grace hasn't told Rocky about the suicide mission. Rocky is also fairly tight lipped when it comes to expressing emotions, either because Grace doesn't understand how he's displaying them, or it's his personality. Anyway, enjoy!
āWhy you so surprised, question?ā Rocky asks. āHow long do humans live, question?
My mouth feels dry. Iām almost embarrassed to tell him how short our lifespan is by comparison.
āWell, for women the average lifespan is 81 years. For men itās 76.āĀ
Rocky actually pauses.
āYou bad at math," he says. "Make mistake, question?"
āNo mistake.ā I say. āActually, weāve increased our lifespan by a lot with modern medicine and hygiene. It used to be about 40 years.ā
He doesnāt say anything for a moment.
āHow oldā¦ Grace, question?ā He hesitates, as he says it.
Well. That's a good question. I haven't even had time to think about it myself. "I was about 33 when I left Earth, so with time dilation, I think Iām somewhere betweenā¦ 37 to 41.āĀ
Rocky slumps. The same slump I saw him make when he was talking about his dead crewmates. Well, why not? Heās finally met someone after 46 years of being alone, who has effectively said heās already halfway through his very short lifespan. And then thereās the whole suicide mission, so in reality my lifespan is about 5 years if I stretch it. I decide nowās not the moment, though. He's already upset about his crew.
āHey, weāre gonna do it. Weāre gonna save Earth. And Erid.ā
āYes.ā Rocky says, but I notice his voice is more monotone. I may be kidding myself, but I think its a bit of Eridian sadness. āSave planets.ā
Broke: Phineas and Ferbās mom truly has no idea what they do and thinks Candace is crazy
Woke: linda knows EXACTLY what her sons are up to but wants them to have freedom and doesnāt want Candace to be a tattletale so she denies knowing anything
Bespoke: Linda was famous pop star Lindana and no one knows about it, she ALSO did crazy stuff like P&F do when she was a kid but never talks about it
Was driving with my grandmother and in broken English she says āno eyesā¦ no noseā¦ no face. Donāt trust.ā To which I looked around wildly in search of this omen of ill portend.
Saw Project Hail Mary again and as I was walking out into the parking lot I saw an old couple holding hands and the husband said "You're the Adrian to my Rocky" and I just-
I love watching Star Trek episodes that are clearly reacting to politics/current events of the 1960s. They have a phenomenon I like to call "Star Trek Anxiety". They really got worried about problems that ended up not amounting to anything.
Example, last night I watched The Mark of Gideon, which I believe is a reaction to the overpopulation/baby boom.
I had fun, imagining being able to go back in time and tell them about the birth rate collapse. Cause i KNOW that would terrify them more than overpopulation.
They'd trap Kirk on some planet to single-handedly F*** all the women and repopulate the planet. And you'd better believe there would be biblical "undertones". Hell the girl alien would probably be called Eve.
I'm sorry sir but no a "shrimp" did not in fact fry this rice. you're lumping crustaceans together in a very unhelpful and bigoted manner. our chef is a giant freshwater crayfish.
Sad that Phillip didnāt make a cameo in the newest knives out movie. BUT, lo, an angel spoke to me, and said āBenoit should have a new famous hollywood star boyfriend in every movie.ā And they never explain it.
So now we need to start brainstorming boyfriends for benoit blanc. Idk why but iām thinking Matt Damon could be funny.
I had a dream last night that they invented a new dating app, and the gimmick was that instead of matching with a person, you matched with a community. Once you got to know that community they would set you up with someone they thought was a good match.
The only issue was that Gen Z ruined it by creating increasingly niche communities, like one called "we're all crabs" where the whole group roleplayed being crabs. So no dating was actually happening. And then the app got taken down because someone made a group called "OJ Simpson Fan Club" and it got too popular.
Sometimes i see posts where people say āi could never have kids because iād be so unserious with them, iād take them to the park and feed ducksā and im like ā¦ YES, thats EXACTLY what you should do with kids??? I kinda think helicopter/tiger parenting ruined us because now we think parents are supposed to constantly be working their kids to death, or not letting them have fun.
But let me ask you this - when you were a kid, would you have liked it if adults took you to the park to feed ducks? You can do that, for the next generation.
(Now im not saying there arent other valid reasons the person may have for not wanting kids, but i do encourage you to look and see if your parents/parenting advice has given you an unhappy view of what it means to be a parent.)
