imo the funniest possible thing for tumblr to do right now would be adding numerical discriminators to usernames

i hope im not only a mutual to u but also someone u can refer to in conversation as ur friend from overseas so u appear worldly and well-traveled

The thing about augments in Star Trek is that, of course, you shouldn't prosecute or discriminate against people based on something their parents decided for them. The way Julian, the Jack Pack, and Una are treated by Starfleet and The Federation is unequivocally wrong.

But. In the real world, genetic augmentation and eugenics are tools of genocide, racism, and ableism. So playing around with the idea of it, and especially having multiple protagonists be victimized by the ban on augmentation- thus framing the ban in a negative light- is incredibly delicate and I don't think any of the writers rooms have enough people of color and disabled people in them to handle the topic with the nuance it desperately needs.

and the codeine scene

[ID: a wikipedia article about "prophetic perfect tense". it reads, "the prophetic perfect tense is a literary technique used in the bible that describes future events that are so certain to happen that they are referred to in the past tense as if they had already happened." below is a timeline diagram illustrating the point of the text. there are two markings, one at the left marking "time prediction is made" and the other at the middle marking "prediction is fulfilled". there is a yellow arrow that goes from the first marking to the second. there is also an orange arrow that goes from the first marking beyond the second, then circles back to the second marking. it is labelled, "predicted future event described as if past event".

script text, spoken by orestes, that reads "this was always going to happen. she's been dead since the beginning."

oooo its the fuckin wizard

Fellow celiacs, be wary of So Delicious ice cream. They took the warning label that says it's cross contaminated with gluten off, and even claimed to now make the gluten free ice cream on separate lines from their ice cream with gluten.

I'm calling bullshit. My sister and I ate it (rather excitedly) and got pretty sick. It sucked.

There's still cross contamination of some sort happening in their facilities and they're just not warning about it anymore. If you're sensitive to cross contamination, don't eat this ice cream. It's not safe.

dating and relationships are the ultimate “you cringe you lose” compilation

sounds like a joke post but unironically one of the first hurdles to forming healthy happy relationships is to learn to suppress the impulse to go “eww lame” about stuff that partners or potential partners are into.

the chances of meeting someone who isn’t into at least a few things you think are really really lame is very slim, and instead of chasing after the dream of meeting somebody who only, exclusively, likes stuff you also like, it’s better to just like. learn to be more chill about people liking stuff you don’t, and hope that they’ll return the favor and be chill about you liking stuff they don’t.

the fact that “the vibes here are rancid” is a power that the jedi actually have is insane to me

can you imagine being a normal dude and you’re getting help from this jedi, and this jedi dude’s like “head’s up, the next five minutes have the worst vibes imaginable” and you’re like “why?” and the jedi dude’s like “inscrutable cosmic power told me so, doesn’t get more specific than that”

like all these weird little men in weird little robes with glowy swords do is meditate because they have sorcerer-induced anxiety. yoda’s always fucking meditating on his little pillow because he has to figure out if he’s nauseous because the arcane will of all life itself is speaking through his midichlorians to warn him or if he just ate a bad burrito for lunch. the force is constantly dunking on these weird little men and telling them “something bad’s going to happen” and never explaining what’s going to happen. do you sense bad vibes because your washing machine is about to break and flood your apartment, or because the government you serve is about to turn into a dictatorship and mow your ass like grass? that’s for you to figure out
