best ship dynamic is when they go from "you fool" (derogatory) to "you fool" (desperate)

people who don't follow chess I promise this post is really funny
Karpov had cemented his position as the world's best player and world champion by the time Garry Kasparov arrived on the scene. In their first match, the World Chess Championship 1984 in Moscow, the first player to win six games would win the match. Karpov built a 4–0 lead after nine games. The next 17 games were drawn, setting a record for world title matches, and it took Karpov until game 27 to gain his fifth win. In game 31, Karpov had a winning position but failed to take advantage and settled for a draw. He lost the next game, after which 14 more draws ensued. Karpov held a solidly winning position in Game 41, but again blundered and had to settle for a draw. After Kasparov won games 47 and 48, FIDE President Florencio Campomanes unilaterally terminated the match, citing the players' health. Karpov is said to have lost 10 kg over the course of the match. The match had lasted an unprecedented five months, with five wins for Karpov, three for Kasparov, and 40 draws.
okay, yeah this is pretty funny

Fun little math trick I find really helpful: the ratio of a mile to a kilometer is within 1% of the Golden Ratio. That means that if you have a good memory for Fibonacci numbers (1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89) you can convert pretty accurately by taking consecutive Fibonacci numbers.
For example, 89 kilometers is really close to 55 miles (55.3). Or, say you need to convert 26 miles to kilometers: 26 can be written as 21 plus 5, so taking the next Fibonacci number up gives 34 and 8, meaning it should be around 42 kilometers. Sure enough, it's 41.8 km!
i need several moments, math like this scares me
Not gonna lie, as much as I want to be helpful and comprehensible, I am very proud of provoking that reaction image.
I took a jaunt around europe and used this trick constantly

“this ship isn’t canon” to YOU. I, however, am delusional
I recognize that the canon has made a decision. But given that’s ist a stupid decision, I have elected to ignore it.

when I say writers, fanfic writers are always included — because they’re just as valid and talented as every other writer who writes and sells original works

Do you think they realize how much cooler that makes it sound?
Like. I'm not even an apotheosis type of guy. But you do know that makes it sound so much cooler right?

that feeling when you look up at a building in the middle of the night and all the windows are dark except one, and the curiosity makes your marrow ache, and you think you want to drift up to the window to see what's going on in there but what you really want is to distill this feeling of glimpsing the edges of a secret universe and turn it into a tincture to hang round your neck, and let a drop of it dissolve on your tongue in those moments when you don't even feel connected to yourself let alone anyone else
