  Yup, you got my point exactly! Appreciate ya.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the origin of aliens looking like humans? Why and when did it become the norm?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For Star Trek, there is an in-universe explanation which is essentially that Humanity and many other classic humanoid species you see (Klingons, Vulcans, Romulans, et al) were all essentially “seeded” by the same ancient race of aliens. That race (the Progenitors) evolved way earlier than everyone else and found themselves alone in the galaxy, so they got down to the seeding. (I know this has also been touched on in S5 of Discovery so please forgive me if they changed anything lol)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It took me 16 years to figure out why I hated a Journey song. What song did yiu hate untim yiu figured out why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there are multiple reasons why I despise “High Hopes” by P!ATD but: I did see a video where a media outlet forced John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats to listen to it and he pointed out the song uses the phrase “manifest destiny” as a positive thing. When in reality, the concept of manifest destiny resulted in the genocide and displacement of Native American peoples in the Western US.

  Dunno if we’d seen it so thoroughly confirmed before that trailer that this is just modded/reskinned Stellaris. Which I’m still into!
