My doctor writes me a prescription for “whatever”. When I show it to the pharmacist, she leads me to a concrete room full of vending machines. It’s my lucky day.
Antis don’t understand that fictional characters are not real, they are just a personality and a performance.
Its totally normally to be attracted to the personality and performance of a character, even when that character is presented as a “"child”“ or a ”“dog”“ or a ”“motorcycle that talks”“.
There’s such comedic power in punctuating a stupid command/threat with “boy.” “Look at my head, boy.” “Get grunkled, boy.” Are you Kratos? Are you a dom? Are you a 19th century coal tycoon? It’s so impactful
Important notes/comments on this post:
>“Don’t call black men ‘boy’ though.” (Always important to note, yes.)
>”I looooooooove being called ‘Boy’ please call me ‘boy’ and hold me down and **** my *** and ram me against a wall and ******* me in the *** and—”
>”I like being called ‘boy’ because it’s cute and gender-affirming.”
>”I called my partner/friend ‘boy’ without thinking one time and they were weirdly into it.”
>”IT’S ME, BOY, I’M THE PS5, SPEAKING TO YOU FROM—”
so when a doctor spends 30 minutes performing CPR and revives someone they’re “a hero” and it’s “a miracle they could come back after being dead that long” but when I spend 6 months synthesising new organs to bring them back after the doctors failed it’s “horrifying to witness” and “a crime against nature itself” and “technically graverobbing but none of the laws cover it so we’re not entirely sure what to charge you with”. Typical

Every so often (ever since I read that book about Catholic scientists) I think about the guy who discovered the cause of Down’s Syndrome and get very sad.
Jérôme Lejeune did his research because he loved children with Down’s Syndrome! He wanted to help them! Discovering the genetic cause was a huge breakthrough, and helping to develop the prenatal test was intended to give parents a chance to prepare for caring for a child with Down’s Syndrome.
And then his test was used to kill children with Down’s Syndrome.
He got the highest honor in genetics because of it, and he used his acceptance speech to tell the world’s assembled scientists that their use of his test was evil. Which made everyone mad and destroyed his chances of winning a Nobel. But he stood for life. He stood for the disabled. He stood for the children. Even at the cost of his career. Because his work intended to save the children he loved was being used to destroy them and how do you deal with that? It just breaks my heart every time I think about it.

ok seeing some people not sure what this means so to summarize it:
hypothetically speaking, if we could produce nuclear fusion on a commercial scale it would provide us with totally clean and practically unlimited energy. no radiation, no pollution, just energy. fusion is actually the process that powers the sun itself, so scientists have been attempting to recreate fusion for decades because it’s essentially the ‘holy grail’ of clean energy sources.
up until now, while we’ve technically been able to recreate fusion, it has always taken more energy to actually make fusion occur compared to the energy the reaction puts out. but now we’ve finally had a reaction happen where it produced more energy than it cost. meaning that nuclear fusion is going to be seen as a fully viable and possible energy resource, so more funding will be put into it to try and improve the process. we’re still decades away from potentially using it as an energy source, but this is a HUGE step towards unlimited energy with no environmental repercussions
Imagine working late into the night with your scientist F/O. You fall asleep at your desk and wake up later to find that your F/O has draped their coat around your shoulders to keep you warm.
