my favorite trope is when someone believes they’re hard to love and someone who loves them like it’s breathing.

@moa-broke-me GREAT FUCKING ADDITION

please note there is a difference between “fake” and “not real”. wrestling is fake in the sense that it is typically staged, but we can all agree that the concept and act of wrestling exists. football is not real in the sense that it is not a thing that exists in our world

Guy certainly knows about it

Since elves have such a long life span, Legolas going on a ~6 month trip and coming back with a dwarf on his arm is the human equivalent of going to Vegas for the weekend and getting married to the first person you meet

@cafffine there's no way I could let this hide in the tags

TIL that NASA has been launching jellyfish into space since the 90’s. Originally 2,478 were sent up and there were 60,000 orbiting Earth by the mission’s end 20 years later. The jellyfish that have returned reportedly ‘hate life on Earth.’

Go you want to birth an Eldridge horror? This is how you birth an Eldridge horror

I want to know how they decided that they hate life on earth

I mean, who doesn’t

The “jellyfish that have returned” are the offspring of the ones sent up; they “hate life on Earth” because they were born into a world without gravity - no direction, different kinds of pressure, so when they return they have trouble adapting and (according to the Read More in the source) “Jellyfish babies, at least, have to deal with massive vertigo on Earth after spending their first few days in space,” which you can tell because you can measure how disoriented a jellyfish is compared with norma behavior. TL;DR your cthulu is an infant with a migraine

I have SO MANY questions, re:the jellyfish space habitat.

I mean I guess it’s probably just an airtight aquarium on board the ISS, but I read it the first several times as the jellyfish were just floating in open space.

tbh when I read “NASA has been launching jellyfish into space for years” my initial mental image was just NASA with a giant slingshot flinging jellyfish after jellyfish into the void 

It’s more like an APDS round launched from a giant cannon. You need the sabot and heat shield or they get destroyed while in the lower atmosphere.

Not an expert but from personal experience this is true. Firms will also try to build a case representing multiple clients as well, which can strengthen their case and give a bigger pay out. If they win.

If your company is stealing wages from you there is a good chances their stealing from others. Talk to your coworkers about your wages (but be smart about it).

You absolutely have the power to sue their asses if you need to. You might need to take the time to do your research and talk to multiple lawyers first but don’t let the fear of lawyer fees be the Only thing that stops you.
