Misery, misery, misery, that’s what you’ve chosen. I offered to read an email, and you spat in my face.

Yup! And “injected intravenously” could actually be done one of two ways: with commas (incorrectly done here) or with en- or em-dashes. For example, “the substance that – injected intravenously – turns women into cats!” (en-dashes) or “the substance that—injected intravenously—turns women into cats!” (em-dashes) are both valid. I often tend to prefer en-dashes because I think they’re easier to read than em-dashes and put more emphasis than commas on the idea that this is a bit of an aside. I think commas are just a bit too overloaded and that en-dashes add more flexibility to grammar.

You’re correct; “my friends” should be bookended by commas.

Before “Steward’s Folly” gets brought up, I invite you to watch this Premodernist video.

Grandma got run over by a dragon?

Also unkind to pigs. :(

Oh, interesting! I’m actually surprised it’s that low.

Okay, so the Moon weighs about 0.012 Earths. The Sun weighs about 333,000 Earths. Meaning the Sun is about 27.75 million Moons. Clearly, then, we can’t assume they mean that 455,000 Moons would collapse into a star and be just as luminous.

So now what I’m wondering is: does ~1/455,000 of the Sun’s light hit the Moon? That can’t be true at all, right?

If absolutely nothing else, none of the prequels are just a blatant, shittier retread of Episode IV. They all at least have their own identities, even if the identities of Episodes I and II are shit. When not taking Episode IV into account, Episode III is still absolutely better than FA even though it’s just like a 7/10.

Even though Episode I and II are actually agonizing for me to sit through, I would still put them above FA because they’re not just shallowly copying someone else’s homework to make a nostalgia-addicted fanbase collectively shit their pants.

I’m really glad Naoko Takeuchi axed this subplot early on.

“Tattoos. Coke. And chronic stress. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect line cooks. But Head Chef Marco accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: Chemical Gay.”

I was trying to be very generous by interpreting that as FtL travel beyond the ovservable universe instead of, like you said, “super-universe-crossing-over ability?”, but yeah, it’s bizarre. Like you said, nothing seemingly precluding abiogenesis a second time.

Okay, so not only can Superman’s sneeze destroy several planets at once, but it’s specifically so powerful that in the near-vacuum of space, it imparts enough energy to do that. Also, couldn’t he have traveled to a supervoid like the Boötes instead of directly into a relatively crowded solar system beyond the observable universe?

Oh, do tell.

I’m just now realizing how much I’d kill for cotton candy with the handle of Mjölnir as the stick.
