Happy pride to whatever ryan gosling and that space rock got going on

Do you think Andy Weir knew that if his funny spaceship sci fi book took off than thousands of ppl would be doing insane levels of science to make the biologically-incompatable-down-to-the-atmosphere leads fuck sloppy. Do you think he Knows.

the thing about writing gideon nav or ryland grace dialogue / internal monologue is that you have to really look inward and set aside the genuine care and respect you have for them and then turn the "cringe" dial up so far that you feel like you're doing character assassination

that poll going around of the guy who thought "people only eat tofu as a bit because they're deranged vegans" or whatever really crystalizes something that i have never been able to precisely say - which is "a nonzero fraction of people who start picky-eater discourse just happen to precisely hate those foods which are not from north america and refuse to introspect on this whatsoever"

In contrast some people say "there aren't any picky eaters in Asia 🙄" but this is laughably untrue. I have a cousin in India who refused until his 20s to eat anything in a sauce. as you can imagine in India this was difficult. he basically had to pick things out of curry and wipe them dry

T.Rex would absolutely eat a chicken

Do you ever think about how canonically there was a camera rolling in the cockpit during the entire Taumoeba Fishing scene, and the footage might've made it onto the Beatles. The people on Earth might've seen it, seen how close it was. "The sky is just slightly on fire." The alarms starting to blare. Rocky screaming in horror as Grace almost dies retrieving the collector. The moment the fuel starts migrating. Grace losing consciousness. Rocky risking everything just to save him. I am going to SCREAM can you imagine watching that and it being real???? Watching with baited breath, knowing it was all okay in the end but not knowing yet how scary it was for them, how dangerous, how it even happened. How much it hurt. I'm gonna be sick.

Why is pet play always dogs anyway
