@sardonic_greek I really thought that’s where their post was going until they started raving about the CIA like a lunatic.

I think it’s more likely what the high school students make for their school projects are impractical at scale because they are high schoolers who made the thing for their high school project

"Oh man, yet another high school student that invented a {insert way to fix something on the planet}, the new generation is amazing!" You know what will come of that? Fucking nothing. Nothing will happen. Any fucking high school student that invents a novel way to do X or Y thing will either be assassinated by the CIA or have their projects shelved into a smelly office of a random teacher in some fuckass university, like fucking always.

@ff0nippop No, no, this is the correct take. He’s not mad he was forced to go, he’s ashamed he made it come to that.
English
Stone me if this is a bad take but I genuinely think that for Grace the worst part about regaining his memory and realizing he never went on the mission willingly wasn’t reliving losing his autonomy of will, it was realizing that he was not the brave man he thought he was

@BenjaminCrew1 Billy Boyd meeting Orlando Bloom at the airport and flying to LA together and getting champagne twice because it was Boyd’s birthday (twice).

Lord of the Rings bonus content the greatest of all time. Christopher Lee revealing what it sounds like to stab a man. Sean Bean so afraid of helicopters that he has to climb to set. Viggo headbutting all the stunt crew goodbye. The Elijah Wood "Will you wear wigs" interview.

@batmanandsobbin That’s very fixable. What’s not fixable is the whacked-out plot.

This book cannot be adapted, and not for any weird legal reason someone might spout out. It is so unbelievably racist, in third grade my teacher was reading this aloud and just had to abruptly stop with no explanation.

@netflix It was right here ⬇️. All you had to do was adapt it.

@RubySakuro “Save Earth by traveling through space to fix the sun” is also the plot of the movie “Sunshine,” which is a thriller horror and none of them had wake up to find a corpse.

จริงๆตะกี้คุยกับแฟน ชีวิตร็อกกี้ก่อนเจอเกรซคือหนังสยองขวัญอวกาศชัดๆ คนบนยานตายปริศนาทีละคน และเหือแค่เขาที่รอด เลยต้องทำทุกวิธีทางทั้งให้ตัวเองไม่ตาย และรอว่าใครจะมาช่วย
โชคดีที่เกรซโผล่มา ...46ให้หลังจากที่อยู่เทาเซติคนเดียว

@BlueIkeTweets I don’t know why a studio would want to adapt it anyway. It’s not another romp through the whimsical candy factory, it’s a horror Doctor Who serial.
English
They legally can’t adapt Elevator, the Dahl estate is very abundantly clear on this. You’d sooner see a Flintstones & the Chocko-Rock Factory or a Tom & Jerry version of the Tim Burton Wonka.

@ollywand3r He’s like those emperors who tried to live forever by chugging mercury.

@ilyukhinaas Someone on the team saw the movie “Sunshine” off page and went, “Eh, let’s not.”
English
I WAS THINKING THIS bc both dubois and ilyukhina’s suicide methods are mentioned, dubois’ nitrogen saves grace at least three times and grace debates taking ilyukhina’s heroin when he’s in pain from the ammonia burns but yáo’s gun is never mentioned again

been laughing about this tumblr post for hours

@Mandarln0range It must be like a nature preserve situation. I bet after Grace passes, there’s a big fight over what to with it.

I like to think it’s like a zoo situation

An airport in Beijing made me sign a form saying I didn’t take luggage from a stranger. So American of them.
Envie@hi_im_envy
learning americans think someone is going to smuggle a bomb through security and leave it next to them at the airport. truly a fantasy paranoid world
English
@abbiecs8 @mayohiga1 I was told to not take any baggage from strangers at an airport in Beijing. So no, it’s not an American mindset, it’s just basic airport security.
English
@mayohiga1 actually i feel like this distrust is 90% an american mindset

It’s says a lot that when Grace remembers what happened, he’s not angry at Stratt. He’s ashamed of himself.

@VicVijayakumar My dad worked at an orchard as a summer job as a teen and to this day he refuses to plant a fruit tree bc he doesn’t want to have to deal with them.
English
wife said that she listened to a podcast where the host said cities don’t plant fruit trees everywhere because they hate homeless people and I said no your host is wrong and it has to do with pest control, pollution absorption, inefficient shade, and because fruit tree maintenance is considerably harder than how you can ignore crepe myrtles for 90 years, and now i'm the bad guy

i don't get mansplaining hate. men are born in the splain. molded by it. it's a load bearing father pillar. in the last 5 mins we've gone from speed of bullets to light to sound. sonic boom. i'd kill myself if i had to do this progression. we're now at how long dinosaurs are dead

@eridiansq They’ll be able to tell they succeeded. What they won’t know is that Grace survived long-term unless Erid sends a message (which would probably take at least a couple decades to get there).
English
people back on earth watching grace's last vlog saying he's turning around to save rocky and then no one will know if he succeeded or not
English
@bobfloydsbf I think so. The public has been aware of extraterrestrial life for decades, finding sentience is just the next logical step. Plus, Earth and Erid are over 16 light years apart. It’s not exactly a security risk to know each other exists.
English
do you think stratt/the taskforce ever publicly released what happened to ryland (meeting rocky, following him to erid) after the probes made it back to earth? did his students get to see videos of their favourite teacher and his best friend (a rock) 30 years later?
English
@aka_nobodyy @PlumpayaVA I was so annoyed with how they telegraphed Bradley like that. There’s supposed to be some ambiguity with him for the first part of the story where you’re not sure if or how trustworthy he is. Instead there’s a sign around his neck that says, “By the way, this guy’s evil.”
English
@PlumpayaVA i've seen some people at least put some idea together of the transmutation circle and that Bradley is likely evil (i mean look at how they frame him ep 1 lmao)
it's putting the idea in people's heads before they're even SUPPOSED to find out
English
still crazy to me that the first episode of this anime is filler, spoils multiple things, and chapter 1 isn't adapted until episode 3 and multiple stories are cut lmao
but after the first like 13 eps it's peak

@9mmballpoint I was babysitting my little sister while our parents were out for date night when I was ten. There wasn’t a lot to it, just don’t burn the house down.

To give you a sense of how quickly the parenting world has gone insane, I'm a Millennial and my friends and I all worked as babysitters when we were like 12

@HighHeelEsquire She is THIRTEEN. If she was 16 or 17, yes this would be crazy overbearing. What are they doing at just 13 they don’t want the mom to see? She’s too young to be totally unsupervised. I don’t think this is too much at all. They’re babies.
