Also, side note, I'm still in the process of figuring out how I want to draw them so you're probably not gonna see him look like this when I post the other drawings I have of him.

I have a headcanon that when Portal era Ford was in a zero gravity dimension and then came back to a dimension with gravity he just simply forgets it has gravity and during a 'shopping trip' he needs a moment to let some weight off his hands and drops the heavy thing and pulls one of these 😭

I just thought of something in regards to the Rulette episode of Game Changer:

I am not sure of Anna Garcia's background but given her last name, I'm guessing Latin American of some sorts. That makes 2 latines and 1 non latino as players. Potentially, 2 Spanish speakers and 1 non Spanish speaker.

When they were pointing out that Jeremy wasn't polite because he was being mean, Jeremy always replied "polite does not mean nice", which is true but to me, as a Spanish person, sounds strange. He even added "Have you ever met a British woman?", showing that this may not necessarily be the way he lives politeness, but that there are enough English speaking people who do.

Many years ago I read some research on the cultural implications of "politeness" between English speakers and Spanish speakers. In short, for Spanish speakers "polite" is a synonym for "kind" or "nice".

For English speakers it's a different thing, a requirement to enter conversation with someone, to enter their space in a way.

This is not a concept most Spanish speakers are familiar with. If you are kind, you can enter conversation with anyone. You are welcome to anyone's space as long as you are nice. This is not to say that we don't have words or sentences to show politeness (cortesía), but if you have the words but the rest of the behaviour doesn't match, we do not really perceive it as polite. We feel it manipulative.

So sure, the joke was the negotiation of rules to see who had it right, but I wonder to which point the two players that have a non-English culture were actually perceiving this "polite does not mean nice" as some kind of actual cheating on the part of Jeremy because to Spanish speakers, yes, polite does mean nice.

May I offer a Logan sketch in these trying times ?

Wait a minute—as someone who has lived in similar areas/architectural buildings—it’s unrealistic for the Dupain-Chengs to own the entire building. The floor above the bakery most definitely contrains two smaller apartments belonging to other tenants (hence doorbells). Tom and Sabine’s room seems to be behind the kitchen. It’s normal for doorbells to be inside and out—visitors would be buzzed into the building at the bottom entrance (where Chat showed up in season one). 🙂

behind the kitchen is this screen door (the blue thing is the fridge). whatever this room is, it seems to me like either a closet or a small bathroom. I don't think a whole bedroom could fit behind there unless it was housing just a twin or something. If it's their bedroom somehow, the bathroom is still in contention. If it's the bathroom, their bedroom is still in contention. If it's a closet..... then both are lol

so i’m an old fart who writes in word 2003, and yesterday out of the blue suddenly it starts giving me the error message that "the save failed due to out of memory or disk space". I am not out of memory or disk space, not even close, and it makes no sense. i’ve spent hours googling how to fix this and the most common “fix” is “lulz just save in docx!” while word 2003 does not support docx so it ...is useless in itself. in addition to that, I found maybe two fixes, but neither of those worked. and now i’m sitting here having a legit meltdown because fuck this i’ve been using word 2003 to write fic for seventeen years and i can’t do it any other way this is a disasterrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
