"In my interpretation, Rimmer's fixation on 'boothing' stems from his desperate desire to retain his youth, despite the paradoxical nature of his situation. Even with characters like Dave Lister spending time in stasis or Rimmer existing as a hologram, the fact that the actors visibly aged in the newer series undermines the entire premise. It's a glaring inconsistency that calls into question the efficacy of such technologies in halting the aging process. This contradiction adds complexity to Rimmer's character, highlighting his flawed and ultimately futile attempts to escape the inevitable passage of time.

So all that time he spent trying to save up when Arnold Rimmer was still alive before the radiation leak was in fact a waste of time.

But it would be a great way to explore themes about mortality, identity, and existentialism.

An aging hologram? The universe has a funny way of biting him in the ass doesn't it?

"If having friends meant having to hang around and get older with them, then he wasn't sure he wanted any."

My poor aging hologram.

Poor Arnie.

Despite his desire to avoid aging and retain his youth, his holographic form ironically ages along with the rest of the crew.

Well played universe.

But since the real Arnold Rimmer is dead and due to Holly's "holographic resurrection" Rimmer managed to do exactly what he felt the stasis booth represented when you think about it.

Not existing.

His time in stasis can be seen as a metaphor for death, as it represents a state of suspended animation where consciousness and existence are effectively halted.

I can see the parallels between stasis and death.

Bonus: Arnold Rimmer states he did in fact waste his time in the stasis booths before he died.

"I'm So Excited" by the Pointer Sisters came up on streaming yesterday, and I pondered the fact that saying it still slaps would have been like saying - in the year it was released - you were jamming to a song from 1940. Then I had to go nap.

I must say, as a straight woman of a certain age, I sort of envy women who are dating now. 30 years ago we didn't have platforms and apps that allowed the trash to out themselves nearly as easily and publicly - you had to waste time in their company to find out what garbage fires those ones were.

Israel’s genocidal assault has killed or injured over 2 percent of Palestinian children in Gaza over the course of just six months, Save the Children has reported. In the months since October 7, Israel’s assault has killed over 13,800 children in Gaza and injured over 12,000 children, according to counts by UN officials and the Gaza Ministry of Health cited by Save the Children. This means that Israel has killed or injured at least 25,800 children in Gaza, or over 1 in every 50 children living in the region before the assault.

Previous reports have found that Israel is killing and injuring children at a rate that is unprecedented compared to any modern conflict. On average, Israel has killed about 75 children in Gaza each day over the course of the last six months, while many of the children who have survived have sustained lifelong injuries; an average of over 10 children are having one or both legs amputated every day in Gaza. Doctors in the region say that Israeli snipers have also been targeting children.

Israeli soldiers are conducting a series of invasive operations across the West Bank, abducting numerous Palestinians, killing and injuring civillians, and engaging in destructive raids on homes and Palestinian property.

This is what happened today (April 18) in the West Bank:

At dawn - Israeli soldiers launched a widespread operation in various parts of the occupied West Bank, breaking into homes, damaging Palestinian properties, and detaining at least 26 Palestinians, including two young women.

At day - The aggression continued as soldiers proceeded to assault Adli Rayyes and his son, Hashem, resulting in various injuries to both of them. Palestinian medics had to transport them to Jericho governmental hospital for treatment.

Afternoon - The Israeli Occupation Forces moved to the central West Bank where they entered the town Deir Ballout (west of Salfit city). There, they confiscated a telecommunications car that was being used for repair and maintenance work.

Evening - Dozens of Israeli soldiers invaded the Ein Al-Sultan refugee camp (north of Jericho). They stormed and ransacked homes within the camp and abducted a young man named Nayef Abu Dahouk, taking him to an unknown destination. At the same time an Israeli military jeep rammed into a young Palestinian woman in Jenin (northern West Bank). She was taken to the Jenin governmental hospital, and is currently suffering from fractures and severe bruising.

The Palestinian Detainees Committee reports that over 40 Palestinians were abducted by Israeli soldiers TODAY alone, from various parts of the West Bank, with a concentration of these abductions occurring in Nablus, followed by operations in Ramallah, Bethlehem, Jericho, Hebron, and Jerusalem.

Two homes belonging to Mohammad and Ahmad Zeidat, who have been kidnapped since January, in the town Bani Naim (near Hebron) were also demolished.

Over 8,310 Palestinians have been abducted by the Israeli Occupation Forces since October 7, 2023.

Posting the final chapter of a fic is always a mixture of sadness that it’s over but also pride that you made it. You wrote a thing nobody else in the world has written ever

the idea of public restrooms as "women's spaces" continues to confound me. you know who I hope is in a public bathroom when I go in?? no one. I would prefer no one else be in the bathroom. and if someone else is in the bathroom I am going to ignore them as much as possible. I did not go into the bathroom to connect with other women. I went into the bathroom to piss and/or shit. it's a toilet's space, not a women's space. shut the fuck up and let trans people piss and shit in peace. let's all continue to avoid eye contact with each other and any and all interaction in the toilet's space.

I’m begging you to look at this.

I am sorry to everyone who tagged me in some tag game and I never responded. I saw it and thought “aww they thought of me” and proceeded to forget about it right after
