Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@001zlnv yes, ten in this size and model, assorted colors plz

@Austin_Dern Your distant great(x46)-grand-niece Kirschbär notes, "You'd think that matter replication would have done something for our tastes here in the 23rd century. But we just ended up making more interesting trash, and more interesting digestive systems that can properly appreciate its nuances..."

Epilogue:

Bed won. See ya either here or there, but I recommend there, by the pool.

I really should not have started the morning by looking at the world outside my own house. But reading social media is what I do first thing in the morning, and it's going to take a while to break that habit. I keep forgetting the Internet is no longer my weird, exciting friend.

And if I hadn't gotten up and risked a glimpse at that online pseudo-reality, I would've just gotten stuck in the pseudo-reality I was fleeing in the first place: vivid dreams of rubber-clad furries at a con, frolicking in a huge swimming pool in glimmering sunlight.

Frankly, right now I'd rather be confronted with images of the collapsing real world outside than the beautiful imaginary one that always existed one inch beyond my grasp, and kept getting yanked away.

I'd rather stare into the abyss than the sun today, thanks. Easier on the eyes.

@JulieSqveakaroo Yaaaay! *mauls CEO*

@Oneironott @Aradia It STILL blows my mind that the Neptunians were the breakaway faction that survived everything else... :)

@kobi_lacroix We FINALLY have internet at home so I am a lot more likely to show up on Telegram in the coming week!

@kobi_lacroix It's like, we're supposed to be the good guys here. If we want the badge of intellectual superiority, we DON'T earn it just by being on the 'right' side and never questioning yourself. That's how 'They' think, isn't it-- that's what other leftists keep telling me. So shouldn't we at least be *attempting* to do better?

But apparently not,. *shrug* Barring some major new innovation in memetic hygiene in the next 20 years (which I do think is not unlikely)... we're so fucked. >_<

@Felthry I have seen that speculated and I haven't seen it confirmed, but I'll admit I didn't really care one way or the other about this film until there was a threat of overworking their animators! n.n; So I'm open to new information about it, I genuinely don't know.

@kobi_lacroix EXACTLY. That's exactly the problem I keep running into, even when I preface my comments with stuff like "OK, guys, I lean a little to the left of Howard Zinn, but..."

@kobi_lacroix I have started falling back on a nice simple "This is why we can't have nice things" in response to bad political memes on Reddit. Just a faint reminder that there is something less than optimal about all this intellectual comfort food. >_<

@kobi_lacroix Yeah, the left has a real unnerving "Surely not *us*! We're the *good* guys! Who do you *really* work for?" streak whenever it's criticized for misbehavior. I have tried to fight that tooth and claw, but usually I just get called a Stormfront infiltrator or a shitlord and get downvoted into the abyss. >_____<

OK, I'm just gonna put a fine point on it.

If it really is true that they're driving the animators into a death march to redesign Sonic for the movie...

PLEASE DON'T SEE THE GODDAMN MOVIE.

Like, I'm begging you. Like, I might actually be genuinely angry at you if you do. Nobody should have to suffer like this for a cheap goddamn media tie-in. >_<

Good lord, even the eggs on Fox News are fake.

HOLY SHIT WE HAVE INTERNET AT HOME

MARS IS READY TO HIT THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY LIKE A FLAMIN' SACK OF CRAP</strong_bad>

@Leucrotta Can't tell you how many times I thought that in the last two years. *hug* And the days I'm living now are the type I wouldn't have traded for anything. If a complete fuck-up like me can recover, any schmuck can, even a scavenger. ;) <3

@mmsword @zx3 Okay, that's a huge relief for sure. 'Cause yeah, neither of the suggested Russian phrases make ANY goddamn sense, and that "Latin" is just "Caesar adsum jam forti, Brutus et erat" level shit. >_<

@zx3 Thank you, once again you are a great source of relief and comfort. I'm just gonna assume she's singing in goddamn Hopelandic and move on with my day. *kisskiss* :D

@001zlnv And I mean, of course Japanese is notorious for zerging alien linguistic DNA...

OK, if anyone cares, I think I nailed the Inner Universe lyric.

Налюбуйтесь brings up nothing but Inner Universe lyrics on Google, and I find no support for the idea it means "get married."

полюбоваться, conversely, does mean something like "admire" or "feast your eyes on" per Wiktionary, and that makes total sense in context.

Dr. Rez, Lyricologist Of Mars, can rest easy.

[EDIT: Except, going back to the song, the lyric sounds nothing like it. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWRRRRRR! 😿​]
