Was flipping through my comic books and I genuinely can't believe we only got this version of Twelve for like 3 seconds and then never again. Can you imagine if they'd given him this look in the show? 57 dead 246 injured and they all would've been me because I would've gone RABID I would've LOST MY MIND. They showed us the world only to take it away immediately 💔

i think that on the show the tardis should seem more alive in ways that are weird and frightening

Has this one been done yet?

The Torchwood gang are poking around old files for whatever reason and stumble across some photos of Jack in a nazi uniform. This is at the point where they're still pretty in the dark about his background and a little suspicious of him so they're like huh there's no way he was a nazi right?? And then they're like no no there's no way. He must have been on an undercover mission or something.

So they look up what he was doing during the war and find that he actually stopped working for Torchwood, vanished for several years, and then came back like nothing happened, which is NOT how Torchwood usually records undercover missions.

Serious friction in the group as they split into camp 'there's no way Jack was ever a nazi' (Gwen, Ianto), camp 'i think we should be open to the possibility that Jack was a nazi' (Tosh) and camp 'let's just beat him up and have done with it' (Owen)

Eventually they confront Jack with the pictures and he's like yeah I took a sabbatical during WWII to avoid a time paradox. Those photos are from when I was in a gay musical about Hitler in the sixties. And they're like what?? And he's like I was in a GAY MUSICAL about HITLER in the SIXTIES. What's not clicking.

you dont have to be a parent to understand the horror of walking into a room to discover that the baby crawled out of his crib and onto that pottery wheel you forgot to turn off, and while the baby is spinning around and around, the dog is sitting there all calm, like a person, gently using his paws to fashion the babys soft cartilage head into something a little more modern.  it might be the classic tale of bad parenting, but lets see where the dog is going with this

belinda: i just don't feel anyone's appreciating the mavity of the situation!

the rani: gravity.

belinda: the what?

the rani: it's gravity, you moron.

belinda: gra-what?

the rani: the word gravity predates your pathetic species discovering the force that was then named gravity! it's not mavity, that was a ridiculous retcon by your precious last of the time lords over here! and since it is so plainly obvious that he's wrong about that, too, stop ceding ground to him. idiots.

mel: well, after that rousing speech--

the rani: you want to fuck me so bad it makes you look even more stupid than you already are.

in the hunger games audiobooks the narrator actually sings all the songs instead of just reading the lyrics out, something i find myself really appreciating and valuing a lot more as i'm forced to sit through whatever the hell this is

Getting kidnapped as a superhero is rather embarrassing, but at least you were certain that your friends would rescue you. Which is why it came as a massive shock to you to see one of your villains bust the door of you cell open and unlock your restraints.

I'm trying to train my colleague to feel more confident in Excel

(I am, and I'm not tooting my own horn here, extremely advanced at Excel. my formulae often run through 20+ clauses and autocalculate the entire sheet from one manually entered item. I knew this would be a challenge for me to calibrate because I have a tendency to assume everything I can do well is easy because I have low self esteem, so I was ready to start at the basics - maybe a quick single-clause IF function or a SUMIF if we were feeling fancy)

so I sat down with her yesterday too work through a model sheet I built her, and quickly found she didn't know:

what an = was for

that you could do a basic addition function (=A1+B1), and this delighted and impressed her

that you could click and drag or copy a cell and the formula will recalculate based on its relative position (I started to explain that you can stop it doing that if you want by using a $ in the cell reference and she said no, please stop I think that's too much for me)

and I'm not saying this to shame her because she's not stupid or unwilling to learn, it just threw me because I don't remember ever not having a knowledge of the basics of Excel. Like over the last 8 years I've learnt a LOT and I was very much doing basic mathematical functions on it when I started office work, I know I learnt a lot (and also that I have an instinctive aptitude for the specific logic that Excel uses), but I've always known what Excel is for.

anyway we were talking today and come to find out that she just. did not cover Excel at all in IT at school (we're the same age, btw, this isn't a generational thing)

then I was talking to Sam and it slowly dawned that actually I did an additional short-course GCSE (Business And Communications Studies, which was basically IT for administrators) that was mandatory in my school, so I assumed it was a national core subject like Maths or English or Science. Turns out no, my school were just stuffing their GCSEs (I did 16 GCSEs)

and now I'm reeling cause I'm like OH. OH FUCK. IS THAT WHY EVERYONE'S MICROSOFT SKILLS ARE SO UNBELIEVABLY BASIC????? because I truly did think that everyone my kind of age did at least a few years of Microsoft Office type ICT training in high school.

let me know in the tags how old you are and what country you went to school

(also substitute Numbers/Google Sheets if you don't use Microsoft, we're just talking about any spreadsheet programme)
