"why do you know that" i am curious about the world around me
romanticizing your life is such a powerful tool and it’s a shame that it’s mostly used by people on tiktok to justify the purchase of expensive breakfast smoothies when there are few better ways to force oneself through unpleasant shit than imagining a cinematic backstory for your extremely quotidian suffering
finding the strength to walk home from the library at 3am in the freezing rain by imagining yourself as a Napoleonic soldier hightailing it from Moscow in 1813
Oh, glorious (fruity) german dub of star trek
Another example from the Episode "Who Mourns the Adonais" (Season 2, Ep. 4)
Once again, the german dub just has more subtext!
Original version
(Scene where Kirk and the Crew first meet the Apollo-Guy in person)
Apollo to Kirk: I said you will worship me!
Kirk to Apollo: And you´ve got a lot to learn!
German version (translated back into english by me):
Apollo to Kirk: I said you will worship me!
Kirk to Apollo: You are not quite my type ...
-
ohh, the episode is not done yet!
A couple scenes later, Carolyn tries to comfort Apollo while Kirk watches them
Orginal version:
Carolyn to Apollo: Apollo please, you know so much of love.
Kirk silently watches
German version:
Carolyn to Apollo: You are called the radiant one. Spread the light of your goodness, for you are beautiful!
Kirk: Mhmm, a matter of taste ...
one again german dub just added in dialogue that wasn´t even there to begin with and made it kinda fruity

watching star trek tos in german is the funniest shit, because they really just rewrote the whole dialogue in some parts... and the german version has a whole different meaning.
Like, you watch the original and the german version back to back and compare and sometimes there is not even a faint similarity in the topic they are talking about
Here comes an example:
Episode "Who Mourns the Adonais" (Season 2, Ep. 4)
The scene at the beginng of the episode where Bones and Kirk are talking about Scotty being flirty with Lt. Carolyn Palamas:
The original dialogue:
Bones: "Lt., you look a bit tired this morning."
Lt. Carolyn Palamas: "Well, I was up all night working on these reports, Sir."
Scotty: "Well in that case there is nothing like a wee bit of coffee to get you back in shape, join me Carolyn?"
Carolyn: "Allright, Scotty! Just let me give this to Mister Spock."
Kirk: "Bones. Could you get that exited over a cup of coffee?"
Bones: "Well, even from here I can tell his pulse rate´s up."
Scotty: (to Kirk and Bones)"Gentlemen!" (to Carolyn) "Come along, my dear."
(It looks like Uhura is talking to Carolyn, but there is nothing to be heard)
Bones: "I´m not sure I like that, Jim."
Kirk: "Why, Bones? Scotty is a good man."
Bones: "And he thinks he is the right man for her, but I´m not sure she thinks he´s the right man. On the other hand, she is a woman - all woman."
Kirk: "MMhmm."
Bones: "One day she´ll find the right man, off she´ll go, out of the service."
Kirk: "MMhmm. I like to think of it not so much as losing an officer as gaining ---"
Scotty (to Carolyn): "Come along."
Kirk: "Actually, I´m losing a officer"
----
Now for the german version (translated into english again by me for you):
Bones: "Lt., you look a bit overly tired."
Lt. Carolyn Palamas: "Well, I was up all night working on this report, Sir."
Scotty: "I am going to make you (actually Scotty is using the more formal adress "Sie" in german) make nice strong coffee and soon you´ll be in shape again, agreed Carolyn?"
Carolyn: "Nice of you, Scotty! I´ll just quickly give this to Mister Spock."
Scotty (offscreen): "I´ll even make you a filtered one."
Kirk: "Bones. Can you rememeber him ever making you a filtered one?"
Bones: "I don´t even know if he can filter. His hands will be shaking from nervousness."
Scotty: (to Kirk and Bones) "I don´t think this is fair!" (to Carolyn) "So, let us go"
(In the german version there is actually dialogue between Uhura and Carolyn.
Uhura: "Carolyn"
Carolyn: "Yes, what´s up?"
Uhura: "I´ve got a few papers for you (dialogue fades out))
Bones: "I can´t imagine him landing by her (idk, slang for like "having a shot at her" or something)."
Kirk: "Why not? Scotty is a great guy."
Bones: "Well yes, no one doubts that. But you never know if the pretty child is cut out for the great guy. Obviously I mean this very privately. You already know. Otherwise she is class/great. Professionally she has a lot of skill and otherwise she is also a great fit for us (presumably meaning the Enterprise and its crew)."
Kirk: "MMhmm. And I always thought Scotty is just in love with his Sol-drive."
Scotty (to Carolyn): "So, Come along."
Kirk: "And suddenly he starts to filter."
----
Why the emphasis on all the filtered coffee? But also, if you ask me, better comedic timing in the german dub! And a bit less sexist honestly! Also, the english scene doesn´t pass the Bechdel-test, the german dub does ...

lollll dude have you seriously not realized that all things are delicately interconnected yet? at your age?
Complaining and getting like. Recreationally mad is so valid and fun i hate it when people dont get that
comfy bed. take me home. to the place. where i belong. pillow blanky. sleeping soundly. take me home. comfy bed
life actually gets better when you leave the house consistently btw like im serious
everyone has to do housework, and there is something to be said about learning to enjoy it. in the olden times, women would sing and share stories while working. now, we can listen to music, sing, dance, listen to podcasts, call friends to keep us company. it is something that has do be done anyway, and it is worth learning how to take joy in it, find peace and satisfaction in it. it will always be just an annoying, endless chore if we will go into it with that mentality, trying to get it over with as fast as possible, but it doesnt have to be. housework, and especially the preparation of food, is a part of living and ought to be done with some sense of peace and love and patience in the heart, even though it is meticulous.
Every Sunday I do food prep for the week and clean the kitchen. I love it--it’s my ‘me time.’ I put on youtube and listen to scary stories or gossipy reaction channels and it’s like my soap operas. Then at the end of it I have food for the week and a clean kitchen. Win win!
What was your obscure chatroom/forum that you used before social media? Don’t say Gaia Online or Club Penguin. I’m talking obscure.
i’m just a guy. More or less
I have realized that the perfect form of media must have a delicate balance between absolutely heart wrenching pure emotional devastation and the most ridiculous nonsense you have ever seen in your whole life

is the world really such a terrible place? yesterday i asked if oat milk was extra and the barista said yes so i said ok just regular milk then and when she gave me my chai latte she whispered “i used oat milk ;)” doesnt that make u want to live another day?
here is my life philosophy: next week there might be someone ahead of you in line at the store who’s short a quarter and you have a quarter and you can give it to them. if you weren’t there, they’d have to put something back. the week after that you could be getting lunch and the waiter might ask if you want some pancakes someone else ordered and never picked up. you could find someone’s lost cat. you could watch someone’s bag while they go to the restroom. there are so many ways you are going to touch other people’s lives and they are going to touch yours and there’s no way to know when it’s going to happen. so you have to keep living!!! i wouldn’t want to die knowing that tomorrow the barista will give me free oat milk just to be nice.
When I was 11 years old - we went to Sea World for my birthday. This was to avoid the realization I had no friends, and no one to come to a birthday party and probably because someone gave my mother free tickets at work. It was kinda a shitty day despite being at a theme park full of cute animals. There was a new roller coaster there that had just opened so we decided to go on. I was nervous. I’d never been on a roller coaster.
A group of 6 college kids were ahead of us in line and started chatting with me. Full on just having a fun conversation with someone literally going through the beginning of a very awkward middle school period. I was so shocked they wanted to talk to me. I think my mom mentioned it was my birthday. They were very nice about it. When we got on the ride they told us to go ahead of them so we could sit at the front of the car since it held 8 people.
Now the ride (called Journey to Atlantis - I believe it is sadly no longer there) started with a slow ride of beautiful visuals of dolphins and oceans and computerized images of this imaginary Atlantis before going up the hill to the beginning of the coaster, where it paused for about 30 seconds, and then the ride started. The college kids must have known there would be a pause. Maybe they’d ridden it before I’m not sure.
But as we sat there on that peak, 6 people I’ve never known, and will never know again, sang a very very lonely 11 year old happy birthday. Loudly. And with gusto. They were happy and laughing and joyful. And it made me feel less alone in the world.
I am 29 years old this year, and I still remember them. I still remember that kindness. It is so important. It doesn’t go into a vacuum. It exists beside me in my daily life. And I love the idea that I have been that person to someone else too.
It’s stunningly lovely to be human when we’re kind to each other.
OH THIS CAN’T BE LEFT IN THE NOTES
