"rJ". Rather be a Crow, humanity has been underwhelming . 36đ Product of the Middle Passage. Residing on occupied Lenape land.. He/they. If you're younger than 18, ehh I'm not explicit here but I'm not trying to be responsible for children on the internet.
I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of âpeople also watchedâ and âfor youâ into the results. Thatâs not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.
âI despise your wretched little gamesâ perfectly conveys how I feel about the entire algorithm/attention economy
They also refuse to actually show the parameters you searched for. If you sort by âupload date,â the first few videos might be more recent ones by upload date, but anything past that youâll find a video that was uploaded five years ago, then five months ago, then three years ago, etc, whichâNO! Thatâs NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR!! PUT THEM IN ORDER!!!
Also sometimes the âpeople also watchedâ bullcrap will not only be entirely unrelated, it will also be videos with violent, sometimes outright triggering thumbnails. Iâve gotten some AWFUL unrelated video thumbnails just when searching for video game music videos.
The fact that Tuvok himself had a family that he was going to be making it back to no matter how long Voyager took to get home (he was 90 at the time and Vulcans can live well into their 220s) had to weigh on Janeway while making that decision. And it wouldnât have been fair to them and Tuvok himself to deny them that choice. In the same way she had to consider maybe Neelix would wanted his life back. Even if he didnât have a family to go back to (I know thatâs fucked up but it has to said) he did have his relationship with Kes (even tho she wasnât long for that ship) who checked out on being in anything with Tuvix but a friend. Who creepily was like, should we still make this a thing. When Tuvok was not only her mentor but as we saw in a later episodes, a devoted husband to his wife.
Janeway, acting as Captain of the line ship of Starfleet in the Delta Quadrant made the right decision. It would have been irresponsible of her to lessen her crew compliment at a time when that crew is a finite critical resource on that ship that is whittling down due to deaths that happen during the voyage.
As far as her command was concerned, this was a transporter accident (something with precedence in Starfleet) that happened to two of her crew, whom health and well-being she is ultimately responsible for (more Tuvok in that sense but ya know) that she had a chance to correct and she did that.
Eating Irish stew with chopsticks, multicultural moments to cherish right there.
I showed this to my Irish mom and she had two notes 1. they should have buttered the soda bread for ultimate taste and 2. kimchi and stew sounds …. interesting….
this is a woman who made a biryiani lasagna when she realised she had the wrong jar of sauce…. her having interesting ideas sometimes border on war crimes
It really was a unique and peaceful (also lowkey worrying) time.
NYC was damn near empty and you could actually drive in the city for once. All the âliving their dreamsâ folks went back to the Midwest where they came from and it was so much more chill.
Air quality was better. For introverts it really was like if the world was designed for us.
Yeah I know it was also a scary ass time but life should be more like the ways how things slowed and calmed down.
Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
