When did we make Zane a tech guy. Seriously. When did we decide Zane in particular would be good at tech. That's so stupid. We've got too many goddamn tech people in this show. Obviously everyone on the team has some degree of tech knowledge considering how often they might have to repair something in their line of work, but labeling Zane as one of "the tech guys" has never sat right with me. Let Jay, Nya and Pixal do their thing. And Sora.

I wish I could wrap my brain around how to use 3D sculpting programs or I could make more parts from scratch myself, but I really just don't understand how to use them no matter how many tutorials I watch.

we need mandatory computer literacy programs in schools so bad. like i get that the idea of teaching the 'digital generation' how computers work feels ridiculous, but the ability to competently USE a piece of tech, and the ability to understand the basics of how it works, are totally different things. and you NEED to understand the basics of how it works!
even if all you know is a super broken-down metaphorical version of how your computer saves files, or how websites work, or whatever, you can build on that to solve almost any computer problem with 20 minutes of Googling. it's so important! and the only reason i learned ANY of it is because i wanted to give my character BROWN EYES in DRAGON AGE INQUISITION!!!!!!

personally, i think if some sort of apocalypse happened, we wouldn't immediately collapse and get set back hundreds of years wrt technology, infrastructure, etc. it's not like every engineer, doctor, construction workers, etc. are going to also be wiped out. and even under the constant pressure and threat of capitalism, people go into these careers wanting to do good. (depending on how the apocalypse is started/how it happens) there would probably be a few rough years at first but people are really good at getting their shit together

similar to the greentext stuff - i was visiting with my neighbors and their grandkids were around, and I said to this eight year old, "Hey, you wanna know something cool? I was playing the game when the Endermen came out." and his eyes went wide, like this kid looked like i told him i landed on the moon. His grandma thought it was really funny, and she said she has no idea what i'm talking about, but her grandbabies do, and that's incredible to her.

I have to reread harrow the ninth because I know there's a part where jods math is off about the nine resurrection beasts left because he doesn't count for one that should be remaining and ianthe and harrow are the only ones who notice. This is so real because as a stem major all of jods stem major buddies would not pick up on this. I have extensive knowledge with absolutely nothing ever going on in my mind. Real as fuck. One time my boss asked me what half of 26.5 was and I almost started crying. I have my bachelors
