So, I’m awkward with actual humans. It’s not paranoia about my hacked governor module, and it’s not them; it’s me. I know I’m a horrifying murderbot, and they know it, and it makes both of us nervous, which makes me even more nervous. Also, if I’m not in the armor then it’s because I’m wounded and one of my organic parts may fall off and plop on the floor at any moment and no one wants to see that.
one last fancomic to finish off the year, from asr this time!!
Write a dramatic poem about the seething depressing feeling of having your covered toast fall butter side down.
An elegy for my breakfast
We were promised the fruits of our labor. That seeds, once planted, would grow and there would be a harvest to savor rewards our efforts bestow.
They did not mention the fields that can drown when sun abandons your crop like a pat of butter that falls face down from toast’s inauspicious drop.

I’m having feelings about Katara v Pakku again, and the fact that at this point in the series, Katara has never been in a fight that wasn’t to the death. Every fight she’s ever been in has had world-ending stakes. She’s not shooting to kill Pakku because she’s weaker and less trained than him - though she is - she’s shooting to kill because she doesn’t know any other way to fight. Friendly sparring, or fighting as a spectator sport, has not been a part of this girl’s life. Pakku’s fighting Katara to put troublesome teenagers in their place; Katara’s fighting Pakku because they’ll all die if Pakku doesn’t pull his head out of his ass and train the Avatar.
Pakku is genuinely surprised to see his own reflection in that disc of ice Katara shoots right past his face. If he hadn’t dodged, it would have sliced his head right open. He starts putting actual effort in after that.
how many old ladies were completely unsurprised when kanna’s granddaughter came rolling into the nwt and picked a fight with pakku do you think anybody won a 50 year old bet that day atla –@url-is-url
Translation quiz! What does this mean?:
死丫头命真好!
dead girl life is good!
a dead end can lead to a good life!
you're very lucky, you wretched girl!
your life is very good, you stubborn girl!
fuck if i know (see results)
Poll is closed! We pulled through with the correct answer over all!
Correct answer: "you're very lucky, you wretched girl!"
This expression is rather scathing, but based on context/delivery, the scorn can be read as joking.
Explanation:
死 sǐ = dead; damn/wretched; rigid (stubborn) 丫头 yā tou = [dialect] girl 命 mìng = life; fate (fortune, luck) 真好 zhēn hǎo = very good
Because 死丫头 can mean both "wretched girl" and "stubborn girl" (it's sort of like "you little bitch", basically), the key to choosing the correct answer, and choosing being option 3 and option 4, is the use of 命. In this case, 命真好 means "you're very lucky" because although 命 does have the meaning "life", too, it more so refers to the state of being alive/the life you possess.
There are three words in Chinese which mean "life"; 命，人生 rén shēng, and 生活 shēng huó. 人生 refers to life as in the entire span of one's life (a lifetime). 生活 refers to life as in livelihood (activities and lifestyle).
Therefore, "life" in the context of “Your life is very good" would not use 命, it would use 生活. That is why 你命真好 means "you're lucky", and more to the point, why the answer is not option 4.
The answer is not option 1 because that is a literal character for character machine level translation.
It is not option 2 because I made that up to fool people who only recognise a few individual characters. I will admit, I am surprised this one came in as the runner-up, but it was a trick smart-sounding type answer.
The lack of the characters 你 (you) and 女 (girl) in the 死丫头命真好 may have also made this sentence tricky for beginner language learners to read. Remember: including the subject of a sentence in Chinese is optional and done more to create emphasis, especially in informal dialogue.

It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If you take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements - and the other nations - will help you become whole.

Ovid, Metamorphoses, 14. iii. 124-132, 145-153. Trans. Brookes More.
The Sibyl of Cumae was a Roman mythological figure, oracle, and priestess. Besides her role as a guide to Aeneas, she is often referenced for the tale in which she is approached by Apollo, who offers her a boon in exchange for her maidenhood. She asks for eternal life, and Apollo agrees, but she neglects to ask for eternal youth and later rescinds on their agreement, forever remaining unmarried. Without eternal youth she continues to age as thousands of years pass by, until her body has entirely withered and decayed into nothing. Only her voice remains, contained in a hanging jar in her cave in Cumae. When the voice is asked what it desires, it replies, “Death.”

My favorite part of Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is that if you don't play DnD, it's a solid fantasy movie, but if you DO play DnD, you can feel in your soul the table talk that's almost certainly happening over the events of the movie. Like...
"Are you guys sure you don't want to take a perception check?"
"I said we jump out the window."
or
"And he turns and walks directly northwards away from you guys."
"The map shows a rock-"
"HE WALKS OVER THE ROCK."
or
"Fuck it, I throw a potato."
"Okay... roll for potato, I guess."
"That was a 20."
or
"I know we won, but I have bonus actions and I'm going to use them, damn it."

Family doesn’t have to be blood related.
Sometimes family is a righteously angry little girl, her supportive brother, a random stranger with a thirst for chaos and justice, two foreign grandmas, and The Rest Of The Plane.
