When I was a kid, everyone loved the concept of small pickup trucks. They were cheap, they were proletarian, and they were easy to work on. Perhaps the perfect vehicle. Throw a few afternoons and a big bucket of kitty hair at it, and you were ready to join the mini-trucking revolution. And then, as revolutions tend to do, it ended.

Trucks had to get bigger, because profit margins had to get bigger. Ol' GM was in big trouble and wasn't digging themselves out of it by selling S-10s with plush velour interiors that cost seventeen dollars. So they hiked the price. Why buy a little truck, when it costs the same as a big truck?

Ford figured it out: they'd turn the little trucks into little SUVs, and then charge a shitload more money for 50% more roof. Now they're practical, efficient family vehicles that you don't expect to be cheap! It says "sports" right in the name! Give us seventy grand for the same Ranger we were selling, but now with an extra row of seats in the back and a sunroof. Once they hit upon that magic recipe, it was like throwing a bag of crack cocaine to the penguins at the zoo: a lot of fun, and then a deep sense of regret when you get caught. By then, the mini trucks were extinct.

Today, if you're good at searching, you can get a cheap mini truck. And with only several hundred hours of rust repair, rewiring, and general un-fuck-withinating, you can fix it. Your reward is a crappy forty-year-old truck that you will insist upon being buried with. Then you'll buy like ten more, chasing that high of teenage first-job mini-truckin'. We'll see you at the weird corner of the Princess Auto parking lot, where all the beat-to-shit Dakotas with amateur rust repair hang out.

honestly being on the dev team for the universal translator seems like an amazing job. you get to go through and figure out which words and phrases merit translation and which are best left in their original form! sounds amazing

so like. language in trek. we’re presented with english almost exclusively for humans bc star trek is an american show (doylist) and because the universal translator changes any other languages to a language you can understand - english (watsonian) - but like. what about klingon? is the klingon that hoshi learned the equivalent of earth’s english? does klingon (the planet) have other languages?? how many different languages are there on vulcan? or bajor? or ferengi? surely earth cannot be the only planet with over 7 thousand languages. where’s my episode where the universal translators aren’t working and they’ve crash landed on a farm on ferenginar or some shit and so boimler proudly declares that he took ferengi as an elective in the academy and goes to talk to the farmer who… doesn’t speak a lick of the Official Ferengi they teach in the academy?? give me more language nonsense star trek

I’m not here to ask for donations. I’m here to say we’re still here, still breathing, still fighting, still refusing to disappear. In the darkest moments, knowing we’re not forgotten is everything. One reply, one small sign that someone out there cares, can pierce through the silence and remind us we matter. It’s not about charity, it’s about humanity. It’s about connection. It’s about hope.

We need more humanoid characters who are "kinda human" but not in the usual way, where this is a human but with some differences, and more along the lines of "this is a being that can look like anything and it's trying to look human but not very hard and it only vaguely knows what a human even is"
