  • i feel this about most famous women who are said to be soooo attractive, like yeah sure angelina jolie isn’t ugly but come on how is she more attractive than a normal person? Same goes for bodybuilder guys, it’s so patently fake and harmful to their bodies!

    at least the male hollywood standard can be somewhat sensible, george clooney looks like a real human person even if he’s the equivalent of a freshly groomed schnauzer.

    but really, the most attractive people i’ve seen are just normal people on the street, and that’s without counting the fact that you can actually feasibly get into a relationship with them and they might actually be pleasant to be around.


  • assuming we’re talking about some interdimensional shenanigans where the two universes meet: the federation would presumably have to treat the SG universe as separate from themselves, since they have naquadah nukes and stuff which makes it slightly annoying for the federation to claim that this earth falls under federation government. Not to mention civil unrest and stuff.




  • something they’ve started using in places here lately and seems okay as a plug and play solution is just swing gates that can easily be pushed open, that forces you to slow down but still allows most people to easily get through. It’s not perfect since there’s still some resistance and i can imagine some mobility aids making it annoying, plus there’s risk of scratches and stuff.

    But really i question the need for physical obstacles in the first place. Just put some thick layers of road paint to create a rumble strip and make it visually obvious that you should slow down.
    And especially in this case (someone linked the location on gmaps) i just see no need for anything at all, it’s already a bloody narrow passage that seems well used by pedestrians, it’s not exactly a place where wheelrunners would be congregating…





  • i have distinct memories of one of my early teachers having read a book to the class about a kid who peed themselves because they weren’t allowed to go to the bathroom, and from that day on we always had that one comfort in her classes: you’re always free to go to the bathroom, no need to ask (just inform that you’re heading to the toilet).
