 So
 me dude bro on the internet talking about
 the new She-Ra reboot: Ugh SJWs are taking
 over cartoons and making them all preachy. I
 hate it when shows try to push an agenda on
 kids. Why can't they be like they used to be,
 you know?
 Original He-Man, looking straight at the
 audience: We had a lot of fun here today
 but you know what isn't fun? Judging others
 based on how they look. Not liking a person
 because he or she is a different race or
 religion is wrong. Also, plant a tree, and don't
 do drugs.

 Lou Scheimer was born to a German Jewish
 family and believed that his cartoons had a
 responsibility to teach children kindness and
 respect for everybody
 Back then there were also MILITANT divides
 between "boy's" and "girl's" entertainment
 but when he found out He-Man had at least
 a small following of little girls he pitched the
 concept of He-Man's sister She-Ra and was
 insistent she be as tough a warrior as her
 brother. He saw that girls actually did like
 scary" sword and sorcery and had a WHOLE
 EW FUCKING SHOW made so they could
 fee
 l acknowledged and have a heroine to look
 up to with her very own series
 er he would help design a whole new sci-fi
 fantasy setting with the most creative control
 he ever had, Bravestarr, and was adamant that
 the hero be a Native American man, the first
 ever in a starring role on a kid's action show
 He also wanted Bravestarr to be a positive
 role model by being a patient, gentle, soft
 spoken man who abhors violence and avoids
 using guns at all costs
 These cartoons are remembered as schlocky
 toy commercials and they ARE entertaining
 that way but real love went into them by a guy
 who wanted kids to grow up more sensitive
 and caring. Some of these same geeks crying
 about THE SJW'S were raised by even more
 bluntly progressive media than we've almost
 ever had and they didn't even know it

 Here's the question I always have with
 universal translators in sci-fi: how do
 they know when to stop translation?
 Like say an alien asks about deserts on
 earth, and the human lists "the sahara
 desert, gobi desert and kalahari desert"
 Alien: You just said "desert" six times.

 Man, the aliens are going to think we're so bad at naming. Cause really, aren't
 Brit: Behold, the beautiful River Avon
 Alien: Ahh, the River River. You humans have such a knack for naming things.

 Here we are in Chad, looking upon the mighty Lake Chad!
 Ahh yes, the land of Lake, bordering the Lake Lake. Another fine human name."

 And here's Nyanza Lac, in Burundi. As you can tell by the fact that it's named
 Lake Lake in Bantu & French, it's a la... actually this one's a city. A city named Lake

 I found this thing on Facebook... and l fell down the Humans Are Weird hole yet
 again. ( first did before I even started my blog - Pinterest is sooo full of these
 posts! And I keep falling down it from time to time, when I discover something
 new)

 You could do it like Douglas Adams with some device that reads brainwaves (or
 whatever jargon you choose) and translates the intended meaning of the words
 according to the speaker. In this context, for instance, the speaker intends the
 word Sahara to mean the name of the place, so the translator would translate it
 accurately as Sahara Desert.
 I've thought about things like this before. Mostly about the common rip at ghost
 hunter shows and movies about how a x00 years old German castle has ghosts
 that speak perfect, crystal clear, modern English. My thoughts on a plausible
 explanation were that an apparition would not physically speak by causing
 vibrations in the air. Rather, consider the possibility that they instead push
 thoughts into the minds of those it interacts with causing them to experience the
 sensation of hearing and seeing them as a means to communicate
 Your brain receives thoughts of the meanings and concepts the being intends to
 convey. That's why you hear them in your native language, no matter what you
 speak or where you're at. This also comes with the bonus of explaining why
 proof is never found on audio or video recordings. The sights and sounds you
 perceive didn't actually physically happen. You could also reasonably argue that
 they'd still be able to interact with (push) physical objects with strong enough
 emotions through some means (depending on canon) while communicating in
 this manner by saying that expanding and contracting the air in such a way to
 create the sound of voice with intelligible words would require far too much
 precision and control
 ldk. It's fun stuff to think about.

 Here's the question I always have with
 universal translators in sci-fi: how do
 they know when to stop translation?
 Like say an alien asks about deserts on
 earth, and the human lists "the sahara
 desert, gobi desert and kalahari desert"
 Alien: You just said "desert" six times.

 ("Sahara" is Arabic for "desert". "Gobi is Mongolian for "desert, and "Kalahari is
 Tswana for "desert

 Man, the aliens are going to think we're so bad at naming. Cause really, aren't
 Brit: Behold, the beautiful River Avon
 Alien: Ahh, the River River. You humans have such a knack for naming things.

 Here we are in Chad, looking upon the mighty Lake Chad!
 Ahh yes, the land of Lake, bordering the Lake Lake. Another fine human name."

 And here's Nyanza Lac, in Burundi. As you can tell by the fact that it's named
 Lake Lake in Bantu & French, it's a la... actually this one's a city. A city named Lake

 I found this thing on Facebook... and l fell down the Humans Are Weird hole yet
 again. ( first did before I even started my blog - Pinterest is sooo full of these
 posts! And I keep falling down it from time to time, when I discover something
 new)

 You could do it like Douglas Adams with some device that reads brainwaves (or
 whatever jargon you choose) and translates the intended meaning of the words
 according to the speaker. In this context, for instance, the speaker intends the
 word Sahara to mean the name of the place, so the translator would translate it
 accurately as Sahara Desert.
 I've thought about things like this before. Mostly about the common rip at ghost
 hunter shows and movies about how a x00 years old German castle has ghosts
 that speak perfect, crystal clear, modern English. My thoughts on a plausible
 explanation were that an apparition would not physically speak by causing
 vibrations in the air. Rather, consider the possibility that they instead push
 thoughts into the minds of those it interacts with causing them to experience the
 sensation of hearing and seeing them as a means to communicate
 Your brain receives thoughts of the meanings and concepts the being intends to
 convey. That's why you hear them in your native language, no matter what you
 speak or where you're at. This also comes with the bonus of explaining why
 proof is never found on audio or video recordings. The sights and sounds you
 perceive didn't actually physically happen. You could also reasonably argue that
 they'd still be able to interact with (push) physical objects with strong enough
 emotions through some means (depending on canon) while communicating in
 this manner by saying that expanding and contracting the air in such a way to
 create the sound of voice with intelligible words would require far too much
 precision and control

Yeah, what do you call 400k?

@devcon03 I remember you were wondering about this.

friendly reminder that fanfic authors write full length novels for free, and all most of us ask in return is exposure in the form of recommendations, reblogs, and feedback

Not just full length novels, but full-length BOOK SERIES. Harry Potter and the Sorcererā€™s Stones was 76,944 words.Eragon was 157k wordsThe Hobbit was 95,022.words (and yes, those 22 at the end are very important words~) Anyway, please PLEASE review, comment, and share the fanfictions you like. These authors are, for free, giving you hours and hours and hours of entertainment. Thank them.
