Robot characters who are given names like SL-308-62 but instead of their human friend going Well let's call you Sally for short, they instead ask the other if they Like their current name.

"Do you like your serial number?" they ask. "Yes, quite. It reminds me of who I am" the robot replies. "I have heard others like me go by different names after some time, and maybe one day I'll choose one for myself, too. But right now that is my full name, yes" they continue.

Because it's not your decision to make whether or not the robot will receive a new name. It should be theirs only. What's the difference? One is more complex and the other is simplified. They were both given by strangers instead of themselves.

"62 will do," they conclude. "It's my model number - there will be no other 62 after me."

I hate this post so much. Whether or not it's allowed reblogs depends on how much it annoys me. I really wish I'd been asked permission to have this put on youtube, but hey. Everyone's an entitled fuck nowadays.

I am going to go back to @dianeduane 's ANOTHER THINK COMING.

If you grew up several decades ago in rural appalachia, and were planning something unwise, you may very well have ANOTHER THING COMING - usually an unpleasant consequence or punishment.

"If they think they can get away with tippin' all the cows over, then they have another thing coming - there's a bull in that field."

‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’

THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA

There’s that post that’s like ‘everyone should get into a tiny niche fandom at least once’ fully agree, that was really fun -- but I would like to add that everyone should get into a fandom where their opinions run counter to major fanon because it really teaches you about sticking to your guns and trusting your interpretation of the text without having to rely on peer validation

because WHAT are people talking about sometimes

i LOVE IT WHEN REDEEMABLE CHARACTERS RELAPSE INTO THEIR OLD WAYS!!! WHEN THEY GO BACK TO THE DARK SIDE!!! TO THE FEIGNED COMFORT OF WHEN THINGS FELT GOOD!! BUT THEY LEARNED SO MANY THINGS ABOUT THEMSELVES THAT THE OLD PLACE DOESN'T TRULY FEEL AT HOME EITHER, BUT IT'S THE ONLY PLACE TO RUN TO!!!! HELLLL YEAH

dana learning gen z lingo from her daughter should be an ongoing joke. jake helps tutor her via text, and she and collins use it around the youngest members of the team to make them laugh when they're having a shitty day

robby and abbot tragically join in and start using it intentionally incorrectly, timed with the sole purpose of being as annoying as possible. robby learns just enough to stick a few words/phrases in the wrong places, but abbot's commitment to the bit leads to the discovery that it's significantly funnier if he occasionally rattles something out in fluent gen z and then lets them all short-circuit while he goes about his business as usual

It's fascinating to me that for our modern (at least on European-influenced societies) thinking, the classical Roman way of life is so familiar. When you read about it, the rethoric of the speeches feels modern, a society based on contracts and laws and litigation, with public works, a state bureucracy and standing army and trade economy and even spectator sports, a concept of philosophy separated from religious dogma and tradition, with even a limited understanding of a government by 'the people' and 'citizenship', even the names all sound familiar even if in completely different contexts, and no wonder since they inspired our current politics.

This all in contrast to medieval feudalism, which is completely alien to me. A society created upon family connections and oaths of fealty and serfdom with no such thing as an overarching state, not even kingdoms were any more real than a title one person holds, and all held together completely, utterly, to an extent I cannot emphasize enough, by the institution of the Church and the Christian faith. In a way we just aren't used today in our secular world. I simply cannot overstate how everything, every single thing, was permeated by faith in the Medieval worldview and the Church which took its power from it, we have an understanding of it but I think people just don't realize it.
