Hey sorry If I annoy you but have you already started with a story 🥰
Oh, you most definitely DID NOT annoy me!! I am on vacation currently so hadn’t really had a chance to start a story yet…but I will. And I have to apologise in advance as it’s not going to be short wait, unfortunately….
Heyy I have read your Fanfic’s about Charles & Camilla and I love them 🥹 will you write more or another
I am so happy that you like my little stories…I will try to write but need some inspiration though…😅
I <3 William Shatner on Twitter
I love how they respond to him, as if he is actually a captain, even more.
Nasa confirmed for huge fucking nerds
This is awesome and priceless and people that work on space stuff are the best people of all time.
Honestly this just about brings me to tears.
Roddenberry, Shatner, Nimoy, Nichols and all the rest of the original Star Trek cast and crew had no small role in making the moon landing as important as it was. A few years before they set that lunar module down, this little TV show came along and fanned the dream into wildfire with an image of what humanity in space could actually look like—not only peaceful on our own world, endlessly curious, and prosperous enough to pursue it, but an active force for good in the greater universe. Carrying not what’s most toxic about us, but what’s best about us out to the stars.
Everybody who has worked at NASA or any other space agency for the past 50 years is waiting for the day when that unmanned probe doing a flyby on a comet can be controlled from the bridge of a space-faring vessel. When we’re not just looking at that comet through a color-coded sonar map, but we can look out a porthole and see it tumbling by with our own eyes. When as a species we can finally outgrow hate and fear and violence, and turn our faces with joy toward all the beauties and wonders that lie waiting to be discovered.
And every time he does this, Shatner is reminding them of what that hope feels like.
This was too great to not repost.
Adding this one:
The trekkie and nerd in me just have to repost this! 🖖
This is why Mr. Fry will always have a seat at my table.
Amen.
I was having a conversation about religion with this guy and he asked me what I would do if I got into heaven and had to sit next to God. I told him I wouldn’t take the seat.
Thank you, Mr. Fry, for articulating why polytheism makes so much more sense to me.
that last fry panel, oh that’s exactly it, that’s the joy of my life in my atheism. my life is mine, it is simple, and it is happier. oh that’s the perfect articulation of it, thank you Mr. Fry.

Ireland had a referendum to change blasphemy laws after an old law meant Stephen Fry could have been investigated for blasphemy here.
what a wonderful addition @bfitz !
I cannot not repost this!!

Prayer flags
When people go off about how English is the worst language, I just wanna point out a few things:
- Our future tense requires only one word (looking at you, Spanish)
- Words don’t change meanings depending on tone (Cantonese)
- We don’t live in some bizarre Beauty And The Beast world where we give inanimate objects genders (romance languages, German)
- Likewise, we don’t have have two different words for “they” because we don’t care whether “they” were male or female (Spanish, French)
- There’s no formal “you” because we don’t play mind games about whether or not we respect you (Spanish, German)
- We don’t alter the whole fucking language based on how much we respect you (Japanese)
- The letters and sounds might not be consistent, but at least we have letters, not just pictures (Mandarin)
- We don’t have a fucking stupid tense specifically for talking to two people because some idiot decided that a two-person tense was necessary (Arabic)
So yeah, I think we’re doing okay as a language
Oh and some of our plurals are irregular, but at least it’s not like every goddamn plural is an entirely new word so you have to learn every word twice
At least it’s not like that, right? Right, Arabic? WHAT A DUMB IDEA THAT WOULD BE, HUH, ARABIC?
But we do kinda have the tone thing. Like record and record, resume and resume, etc
For a few words, but you can mispronounce a lot and still get away with it. I’m referring to this:
Language is amazing
So like, I love Chinese as a language group, I really do. But it is also brought forth this absolute abomination of a character that has no right to exist and makes me cry at night sometimes:
don’t forget greek. where we have η, ι, ει, οι, υ and all those are just “ee”. and our approach to their usage is ballistic.
where we have 3 genders for any and all adjectives. where most of our verbs are pretty much irregular and conjugated different. don’t even get me started on the passive voice. or the 3 different groups of conjugating nouns, or the 8 different tenses for verbs. or just the absolute trashpile that is tones
For a literal frankenstein of a language, English could be worse I guess.
English is actually known as one of the simplest languages lmfao
Actually, the written script is the same for all the dialects in China ie Cantonese, Hokkien, Teo Chew etc...the difference is the spoken language. Mandarin has 4 different tones, Teochew has eight - not too sure how many tones does Cantonese have.
For example, 你好, how are you? When written, everyone who can read the written script knows what it means but when spoken, sounds very different in the different dialects.
We have the First Emperor of China to thank for that.
Subbed cdramas on youtube
So, I know with the demise of Dramafever, people have been looking for where to watch subbed cdramas. There is always viki, of course, and they have a good selection, but surprisingly, youtube also has a bunch.
Here is what I found:
Huace Media Channel has a number of subbed cdramas, including An Oriental Odyssey, Meteor Butterfly Sword, The Taoism Grandmaster, the Great Protector and others.
https://www.youtube.com/user/huacemedia/playlists
YoYo Television Series Exclusive channel has a number of subbed dramas, including Eternal Love 1 and 2, When Paris Downcast, Legend of Yun xi, Lost in 1949 (Chen Kun!):
https://www.youtube.com/user/TheTvseriesofficial/playlists
Channel for KUKAN drama that has a few subbed cdramas like The Dark Lord:

Things food snobs are wrong about
“Organic” isn’t better for you or for the environment. It actually means nothing of any significance at best and is sometimes even the more wasteful, more hazardous option.
A shitload of “natural” food including a lot of imported produce is grown and harvested through slave labor in inhumane conditions.
Pizza, fried chicken, french fries, fast food, candy bars and chips ARE nutritious. They are loaded with good things. Just because they have an abundance of excess fats and might not be healthy as a staple doesn’t mean they are “nutritionless” or that their calories are “empty.” Those are hokey buzzwords pushed by the people in charge of how much you pay for the alternatives.
Eating healthier costs more. Much more. Looking down on people for their reliance on cheaper food is extremely classist and expecting everyone to be able to live off fresh veggies and cage-free meats is insultingly unrealistic in the modern world.
“Processed” literally only means the food went through some kind of automated process. This can be literally the exact same thing a human being would have done to the food for it to be labeled “unprocessed.” Being processed does not make something less healthy.
Chemicals with long, scary names are part of nature. An apple is full of compounds you probably can’t pronounce. A shorter ingredients label only means they didn’t bother listing all 300 things the product is actually made of and HAS to be made of.
Preservatives, artificial flavors and other additives are not the devil. Most are harmless and in general they are part of the reason you haven’t already starved to death or died of a food borne illness.
MSG is not bad for you at all.
The fact that something might be made of “scrap” meats like pig snouts or chicken necks only means one thing: that we didn’t waste perfectly normal, edible meat.
I DON’T KNOW HOW I FORGOT THIS IN MY FIRST VERSION OF THIS POST BUT GMO’S ARE NOT DANGEROUS TO EAT. GMO’S ARE SAVING LIVES. YOU’VE ALREADY EATEN GMO’S BEFORE YOU EVEN KNEW THE TERM. IT’S FINE. EAT THEM.
That’s what I have been trying to explain to people especially about chemicals!!

So cute
Giethoorn in Netherlands has no roads or any modern transportation at all, only canals. Well, and 176 bridges too. Tourists have to leave their cars outside of the village and travel here by foot or boat by. So you can probably imagine how peaceful it is here.
Omg! I wanna move here!!!
