mfs hating on show Luke and not book Luke are weird.

The two r very very different, Luke felt bad for his actions in the show and hasn’t done anything terrible yet. As a matter of fact, i can agree with Luke and his reasons!! I would hate the Gods too shit

i personally am happy they took the word dyke out of the movie because when i got bullied for being a lesbian i was never called that word and a lot of people don’t know about it and i feel like all the kids in my school going to see that movie would just acquire a new word. also lots of kids saw it and we don’t need them all singing “janis is a space dyke!” in world burn without knowing what it means

Fav competition this season so far? :)

Ooh this is actually a difficult one because there are a few I really enjoyed. It's so hard to choose because there are so many but every time I am like yes that one I remember that at least one of my favs actually had a shit day and I am like nah can't take that one (the problem of having so many favourites that are known for inconsistency)

Okay. I have one.

Lillehammer the Sunday competition. Anttis second best result of the season, Andi being on the podium. A fantastic team result for team Germany. Robin being back (didn't made second round but that was to be expected) Pero top ten. Still a few down points but the fact that it was Lilly made up for them.

I am so tired of middle aged booktok women.

Like Karen, not every book has to include ten pages of poorly written smut.

They also always want smut in books that aren’t just romantic fantasies and just normal romance, like no my books about the Holocaust and Roma slavery are not smut filled.

So Venus is my favorite planet in the solar system - everything about it is just so weird.

It has this extraordinarily dense atmosphere that by all accounts shouldn't exist - Venus is close enough to the sun (and therefore hot enough) that the atmosphere should have literally evaporated away, just like Mercury's. We think Earth manages to keep its atmosphere by virtue of our magnetic field, but Venus doesn't even have that going for it. While Venus is probably volcanically active, it definitely doesn't have an internal magnetic dynamo, so whatever form of volcanism it has going on is very different from ours. And, it spins backwards! For some reason!!

But, for as many mysteries as Venus has, the United States really hasn't spent much time investigating it. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, sent no less than 16 probes to Venus between 1961 and 1984 as part of the Venera program - most of them looked like this!

The Soviet Union had a very different approach to space than the United States. NASA missions are typically extremely risk averse, and the spacecraft we launch are generally very expensive one-offs that have only one chance to succeed or fail.

It's lead to some really amazing science, but to put it into perspective, the Mars Opportunity rover only had to survive on Mars for 90 days for the mission to be declared a complete success. That thing lasted 15 years. I love the Opportunity rover as much as any self-respecting NASA engineer, but how much extra time and money did we spend that we didn't technically "need" to for it to last 60x longer than required?

Anyway, all to say, the Soviet Union took a more incremental approach, where failures were far less devastating. The Venera 9 through 14 probes were designed to land on the surface of Venus, and survive long enough to take a picture with two cameras - not an easy task, but a fairly straightforward goal compared to NASA standards. They had…mixed results.

Venera 9 managed to take a picture with one camera, but the other one's lens cap didn't deploy.

Venera 10 also managed to take a picture with one camera, but again the other lens cap didn't deploy.

Venera 11 took no pictures - neither lens cap deployed this time.

Venera 12 also took no pictures - because again, neither lens cap deployed.

Lotta problems with lens caps.

For Venera 13 and 14, in addition to the cameras they sent a device to sample the Venusian "soil". Upon landing, the arm was supposed to swing down and analyze the surface it touched - it was a simple mechanism that couldn't be re-deployed or adjusted after the first go.

This time, both lens caps FINALLY ejected perfectly, and we were treated to these marvelous, eerie pictures of the Venus landscape:

However, when the Venera 14 soil sampler arm deployed, instead of sampling the Venus surface, it managed to swing down and land perfectly on….an ejected lens cap.

Unpopular (?) opinion:

When I was young and wondering why I hadn't experienced a crush yet, the internet said I was probably just a late bloomer. They urged me not to identify as aroace because I could change my mind later on.

And looking back, like… so?

If I had been a late bloomer, who cares?

I was 13. I felt comfort in the aroace community. I didn’t feel like a weirdo for once in my life, surrounded by people who were like me. But I was urged to not join these communities until I became an adult in case I changed my mind about being ace. So I didn’t. And I paid for that.

Who cares? If you’re young and feel like you’re aroace, then you’re aroace. If you “change your mind” later, it’s okay. No one is going to be born and know themselves 100%. I genuinely thought I was alloromantic once, but now know I’m not.

Speaking from experience, I would rather have kids be “wrong” about their sexuality than feel like they have no place of belonging.

We shouldn’t gatekeep aroace folk because of their age. It hurts. It makes kids feel like they are the freaks society tells them they are.

Ngl, can't believe the nerve some ppl have of saying the pjo movie is better than the tv show. that movie was barely a good movie on its own and as an adaptation was just atrocious. some ppl r just born haters and for what reason?

#is this an unpopular opinion #hope not #and i'm not saying the series is perfect or whatever but it's SO GOOD #especially considering what we had before #ALSO there's a difference between saying you prefer the movie and saying the movie was better #i will not judge ppl's taste vut the movie was not better

Dear Evan Hansen is a terrible musical which handles its subject matter terribly and is made for the sorts of “mental health advocates” who will call you evil for having BPD and believe in “narcissistic abuse”
