petaq replied to your post: sendhil ramamurthy khan tho just a) sendhil…

out of all the alternate khan castings i delcare yours to be the best given the whole zq and sendhil trading roles thing (because apparently im a sucker for that, who knew)

yes, me too!!

i just

cannot resist??

in fandom bodyswap fic is pretty close to what i want

but it’s really more about the actors, you know? the performance they’d give

like, that time sherlock!sherlock and elementary!sherlock traded off the doctor/creation roles in a staging of frankenstein? so incredibly upset that there was no way on earth i could see it, let alone see it twice to get the full impact.

The first bionic hand that allows an amputee to feel what they are touching will be transplanted later this year in a pioneering operation that could introduce a new generation of artificial limbs with sensory perception.

I have a bad habit of assuming I’ve annoyed people, and it usually ends up with me dropping communication and hoping they’ll be the ones to continue it.

ALL of this. Encourage people to try new words, to mess them up, to experiment with vocabulary, to learn complicated adjectives and verbs and nouns, because words are fun.

Also, don’t be a jerk.

I mispronounce a lot of things because of this.

I really apprikate this sentiment.

wtfevolution:

“I’m getting tired of making insects that just hatch, eat, mate, and die.”

“Well, what else are they supposed to do? Seems like you’ve hit all the major requirements there, evolution.”

“I don’t know, something more interesting.”

“Like what?”

“Like maybe hatch underground, putter around down there for 17 years, emerge in massive swarms that tear through the countryside and dive-bomb weddings and generally freak everyone the hell out for a while, and then eat, mate, and die.”

“Hm. ‘Interesting’ is one word for that.”

“I can see it now. The 17-year cicadas: Just when you thought you could forget.”

“That’s ridiculous. You watch too many movies.”

“BZZZ, motherf—ers! BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.”

Shiny Happy Fits of Rage: Brain teasers for egalitarians/equalists.

Shiny Happy Fits of Rage: Brain teasers for egalitarians/equalists.:

alexandraerin:

Say I’m 32 years old and you’re 22 years old.

In how many years will we be the same age?

…

Silly question, right? If you define aging as a process that stops at death, the only way we’ll ever be the same age is if I die first. If you don’t, then we’ll never be the same age. Every time you age a year, I also age a year. Since our ages increase at the same rate, you will never catch up to my head start. We have achieved a total equality of aging, but that does not change the permanent inequality of our age.

Okay, say I have a million dollars and you’re completely broke. If we both get a dollar a day, how long will it take you to catch up with me?

Now, this one’s even sillier, because if you have no other resources, your dollar a day is going to be eaten up by basic living expenses that it doesn’t quite meet, and I have an excess of money that can be spent on money-making opportunities that pay off far better than an additional $365 a year. I could literally burn the dollar I’m getting as part of our Totally Equal Income and still make more money in a year than you do just by sticking my money in the bank.

But still: both of us getting a dollar a day is totally equal, right? It means we’re being treated exactly the same.

And now, final problem:

If we have a world that contains structural inequalities, systemic imbalances, disproportionate danger faced by some, and unequal access to resources and opportunities, is “treating everyone the same” really going to result in equality?

Show your work.

quips and sentences and paper bullets of the brain: OKAY PEOPLE THIS IS A DS9 POST SO DEAL WITH IT:

teroknortailor:

can we talk about how DS9 literally turned the tables on the whole stoic-paragon-of-virtue Vulcan stereotype and played the Romulans in a respectful and sympathetic light?

also how about when it showed the Klingon tradition of honor to be actually stunting the growth of their whole civilization and Worf fucking KILLED Gowron because of that?

oh and we can’t forget how DS9 was fantastic at making sure that people knew that both Cardassians and Bajorans were people and made it a point to include genuinely good and despicably evil versions of both races!

what about when in the VERY FIRST EPISODE someone was shown actively disliking Picard - the very paragon of what a Starfleet captain should be - and actually being justified for doing so?

yeah

that all happened

and that’s what makes DS9 so awesome

is that it vividly shows that there are two sides to EVERY story

and that’s one of the most important lessons to remember in life

PERIOD.
