we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

I think a lot of the fandom has come to a general consensus that Rocky and Grace speak a sort of pidgin on the Hail Mary. In the book and the movie, there’s no way Grace’s tiny alien brain could understand Rocky’s language, which would likely be quite complex for our brains in its regular form.

The only reason I thought about this was the scene in the movie where he says “All Rocky plural all Earth die WE DIE” In addition to being one of my favorite Rocky movie lines, it would also be funny to see Adrian’s and other Eridian’s reactions to how Rocky speaks when he gets back.

“Hello Adrian mate. This friend Grace. Want speak with Rocky plural. Have many findings, all amaze amaze amaze.”

“Rocky, my betrothed, I have not a clue in the universe why you are speaking in such a way. Did the extraterrestrial being shrink your brain?”

Or alternative reaction based off of a previous post:

since I've been talking waaay too much about my spidey au lately, so back on track from that detour (before I derail again) Also it is warm. my brain is melting and my english with it, so I'm trying really hard to make this coherent

There probably wasnt any medical care in Eden or at COI whenever someone is more badly hurt. If you are hurt bad enough that you wont be of use for a long time, why keep you alive type of way. So Simon learns a bunch of different first aid stuff and other medical aid once he has gotten more comfortable on the Hail Mary/Erid, because now he does have the resources and what if Grace got injured badly and otherwise he woudnt be able to get him to Armando in time

Since Grace does learn how to sew, he would at some point make a quilt for Simon with mostly different plants and stars on, to match with his

I think Simon really enjoys reading, as soon as he is more comfortable on the Hail Mary and he finds a book, none of the books are save. He practically devours them (Grace ends up looking into somehow getting him a reading tablet because of that)

Whenever Grace and Rocky go on shorter check up trips and Simon stays behind on Erid, Grace always sends him video logs of his day, telling him that he misses him etc. they also swap quilts sometimes for that

Grace isnt a morning person. Simon just likes to stay in bed and cuddle for a long time. Either way both of them dislike having to get up really early (aka Rocky is a menace to the both of them for taking to long to get out of bed)

Grace at some point puts a little framed picture of Simon in his classroom (because of course)

Simon sometimes forgets that Grace is pretty strong (not as strong as he is, but strong enough to carry him) so it does sometimes take him a second to recover (register?, calm down from? comprehend? idk würd im deutschen drauf klar kommen sagen) when Grace picks him up

(my first post here so bare with me)

So, with Project Hail Mary we looked at the words "you don't even have a dog" and decided that we would give this man a whole family instead and used multiple crossovers to do it. Ie. Coltland Gentry & Bloodymary.

Given this information, I think we should find a way to drop this man in front of Xaviers Institute for Gifted Youngsters. Preferably with Simon and Rocky in tow. Adrian too if we're really having fun with it.

You CANNOT tell me that Dr. -I teacher so well that I do it on a different planet- wouldn't be perfect for a group of preteens/teenagers who are getting powers they can't quite control with emotions that they are struggling to understand

Like. Here's someone who's been through a lot and after all of that, all he really wanted to do was teach. And the kids do have people who rely on them but a lot of the adults in the X-mansion are kinda larger than life heroes and some aren't even around all the time. And depending on how they end up at the mansion Grace might just be some random fuckin guy to them. Like he'd be a reliable adult but it's easier to cry next to an average person than a pillar of a community

Let Rocky and Grace do big science with Beast, they would have to be dragged away from a lab. I think Adrian would love talking to Storm for the sole reason of Adrian was part of the Biodome team. I think if Simon were involved, he would probably get along with wolverine.

and sam would get extremely jealous, thinking they were a thing, and when he found out they weren't, he'd say "well, it doesn't make sense then, because you're both smoking hot"
