you know, we really have to give props to the elcor for achieving space-flight

every other species has appendages with which to manipulate objects but these butt elephants managed to build weapons and cities and starships using nothing but their little knuckle nubs A+

I mean yea they have thumbs but Dekuuna’s gravity is really strong so in order to grab anything they’d have to essentially sacrifice a limb that could be used to prevent falling over and literally dying from the impact to…grab materials to build these superstructures or machines with which to build them.

crap thinking about how they can manage to do this kinda stuff given their limitations really intrigues me

You know, I never really thought of that, but the engineering roadblocks they must have gotten through must have been staggering.

I mean, if you assume that the spacefaring species had similar sorts of development than us, in that, for their early space flight, they used rockets to get to orbit, it boggles the mind how they managed to get past that point.

When you consider the rockets we need to get out of just Earth’s gravity well, just to put only relatively small payload of a few tens of tonnes (maybe, I don’t actually remember the maximum payload of the shuttles, or the rockets being used now to get stuff and people) in to space.

Then you have to consider that fuel requirements for rockets increases exponentially with increases in payload, and the gravity well of Dekuuna seems almost insurmountable.

ok honesty time are there any CIS people out there that would date a Transgender person

If you are CIS and would date a transperson reblog this I need to know that there is just one person out there that would do this.

Were I unwed I would.

spicyshimmy: fuckyeahjokeredi: in tonight’s sketch edi kisses a smelly, diseased man submitted by anoia! There are multiple definitions of a virus. Jeff does not currently require a full system scan, merely one for body temperature. Despite the warmth of his skin, directing more fans onto his person will not accelerate the internal cooling process. For some reason, he prefers hot beverages to cold ones during this time. They cause his cheeks and nose to redden, his eyes to water. (There are multiple definitions of tears. It would appear they can simply be excess fluid leakage, rather than possessing any more complicated, emotional connotation.) Other excreta drips over his top lip. ‘I’m, like, krogan-in-heat levels of barfo disgusting,’ he says. ‘I do not agree with this consensus,’ she replies. There are temperature sensors in the palm of her hand. She rests them against his forehead, under the fall of his messy hair, realizing his skin has excess moisture. He appears momentarily surprised by the gesture, as though it is familiar to him. Whether or not that is the case, the point remains that it is logical. Also, his forehead fits the contours of her palm. The body she inhabits does anticipate certain needs, not merely her own, quite satisfactorily. His nose continues to drip. There is a pile of medicated extra-soft tissues—with lotion—on the floor by the side of his bed. ‘Mount Moreau,’ he calls it, waving a delirious hand. ‘I claim this peak in the name of It’s the Goddamn future, so where the hell’s my cure for the common cold already?’ ‘Pfft,’ he says, though perhaps it is a sneeze. ‘Science. Boo. Boo science.’ He looks at her through bleary eyes. His conversational abilities have suffered, though he is still capable of being entertaining. There is something else about the way he looks, though the basic assembly of his features has not changed. He considers himself disgusting but it is not disgust that she synthesizes when gazing at him, clutching his mug of soup. (‘The kind with the little alphabety animal thingies in it,’ he requested earlier. That was an unexpected mission into requisitions, yet not without its rewards. He held up one of them and said, ‘Hey, look. An elcor!’ then ate it. Humor is remarkable in its multifaceted adaptations.) He is…cute, she supposes. This way. ‘Your suffering appeals to me,’ she says. ‘That was a joke,’ he supplies. It was not. Or it was an infinite jest. But she kisses him without fear of saliva-born infection. ‘Yay science,’ she says. (He later believes he hallucinated that.)

Okay, I realize that I’m preaching to the choir, because none of my followers have ever done this to me, but:

Please do not remove my text from my 28 Days of Commander Shepard posts. The purpose of the meme is to write about Shepard. I only added pictures because, well, I like making edits and I just wanted to do it as part of the meme.

I appreciate reblogs, I really do, but removing the text takes away the whole purpose of the meme.

Thanks.

Why on Earth (in the Milky Way, given the context) would anyone remove the text? I mean, it’s the best part of those posts, aside from the fact that they’re the point of the posts in the first place.

I’ll never understand why some guys think girls like traditionally nerdy stuff “to trick teh poor menz and have sex with them” and think it’s a bad thing. Like…where’s the drawback?

if you are incorrect in your assumption (which there’s a 99% chance you are), you have now found another human being who is equally as nerdy as you are and can have an equally engaging and in-depth discussion as any of your other friends. plus chances are she’s easier on the eyes.

if you ARE correct, your chances of getting laid have just skyrocketed

where’s the drawback? why the shaming? why the hate?

It’s agianst his protocol to impersonate a deity?
How do you program that into a robot?
“No actin like a god”
“Awww, fuck you creator”
“Later…”

I’ve always been under the impression that Droids in the Star Wars universe are essentially second class citizens. In that they have no inherent rights.
Of course, I’ve not read any of the extended universe novels, so I don’t know how accurate that is.

But the fact that people can own a Droid, when it’s been fairly demonstrated that they’re sapient entities, or at least appear that way to us, shows that to me, at the least.

As such, Droids could be programmed to not take any positions of authority, even, or particularly among pre-space flight civilisations; including, of course, acting as a deity.

Millennials are the “ME ME ME GENERATION,” writes Joel Stein for Time magazine’s new cover story out today — which makes him only the latest culture writer in the last century or so to declare the youth self-obsessed little monsters.

plode: fastcompany: Recognize these photos? If you’ve seen Star Wars, you probably do.  This the abandoned set of Tatooine, Luke Skywalker’s home planet. A photographer accidentally stumbled upon the set, which sits in the Tunisian desert. They sit in perfect stillness, at the crest of the Sahara Desert, eaten away by dust and sand. More photos This made me think. What if, in thousands, or hundred of years, humans dug this up, in an archaeological dig of some sort and thought that this is how we lived. See, they’d be getting a whole false set of information about our life times. Even more so than that, which if, certain things that we’ve dug up in archaeological digs are merely just theatre/play sets, and we think that they were made for a particular reason. I don’t know, kind of just made me realise how weird that would be. Most sets are characterised by the fact that while they look real, they aren’t. For example, the water condensers would seem to have a purpose, but, if they pulled them apart, they’d likely just be some sort of moulded plastic (or whatever it is they use to make the props), in the same way, looking at the metal tubes connected to the side of the building (in the bottom left picture) would show that it’d just be a hollow tube that doesn’t actually go anywhere. And so on and so forth. Actual settlements, past and even present tend to be functional, there’s often a reason for why things are there. Granted, there are often decorative features to be found, but even today those features tend not to be as superfluous as you’d find on a set. Also, it should be mentioned, if an archaeological dig found a theatre or play set, odds would be good that you’d also find evidence for seating around that set, which would give away its purpose.
