this. what does this mean?? ‘24 HR scientific services’?? what services? is he just for hire? is he a scientist for hire? what in the world do people hire their local disgraced nuclear physicist to do??
I think the most unintentionally pretentious part of me is I genuinely forget that most people do not have a near-encyclopedic knowledge of mythology and folklore. I literally just assume most people know at least the name of every Greek god. My mom and I were watching the Banshees of Inisherin and at the start, she asked “Do you know what a banshee is?” and I was so stunned because it would never occur to me to ask that question because I would never assume the average person doesn’t know what a banshee is. The average person knows what a banshee is right. You know what a banshee is right. You know the names of the greek gods right. You know that norse myth where loki fucked the horse right. Right. RIGHT
war propaganda used to be so much cooler. why cant you just publish a brightly coloured poster of a big burly ukrainian man punching a weirdly racialised caricature of a russian guy in the face like they did in the olden days instead of doign this shit im begging on my hands and knees
