Strong bond

(via)

So my boyfriend got diagnosed with cancer in august. It’s been a struggle for months. He called a pause on things as him and his family figure out next steps. He’s been going through chemo treatment and I’ve been trying to be there for him, as much as he wants me to be. I’ve been reading books on cancer, talking to therapists who specialize in it. Watching every movie and having a lot of conversations about it.

But I’m wondering if anyone here has struggled with anything similar? I know I don’t know a lot of people left here. But this shit has been really hard. This was the first time I fell for something in nearly a decade and then cancer popped up and royally fucked things. I’ve been relying a lot on my friends. But y’all got any advice?

We had a stupid but fun date and saw the most gorgeous sunset

You really have to give the architect a 5 star thumbs up for his vision in building this place …

the town’s name is dixon

the longer you look at it the funnier it gets

Dude, this is the city I was born in. I know exactly which building that is, I HAVE BEEN TO THIS BUILDING, I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE FROM ABOVE

I have a new boyfriend! And I’m kind of shook about it. Didn’t expect it to happen but in the first few hours on our first date I knew. A week later we are now a thing. Feels good and new and different to be on the same page as a partner emotionally. Literally I think it’s a first time for me at 34 😅

“the millenium falcon would wipe out the enterprise in seconds” lmao the enterprise is just an innocent science class floating thru space…. all they wanna do is look at some rocks… kiss an alien…. find some space plants….. why would you fight that its not a battleship theyre just nerds…… leave them olone 

A friend of mine saw this and brought up some interesting arguments

so, in other words,

Pretty much.

here have some size comparison

Who wins in a fight, a fully staffed Navy research vessel or your local weed man and his best friend in their souped up VW Bus?

So while it’s true that the Enterprise is not as big as people think, that goes double for the Falcon!

A good way of thinking about the relative size is by using a bridge comparison:

The Enterprise bridge has space for 11 people to work, as well as a significant amount of space between stations to move around comfortably:

And the whole thing fits in the nipple thing up on top of the saucer:

Meanwhile the Falcon (beloved weed bus) has a cockpit that seats 4, with only 2 main operational stations, and zero floor space:

And since Serenity was mentioned too…

Serenity has a bridge more comparable to La Sirena - with 2 stations at the front and quite a bit of floor space.

And for those interested in a visual comparison:

(Boeing 747 for scale as well as the Delta Flyer because Why Not)

TLDR: The Millennium Falcon is pretty dinky, so I propose *true weed bus status* goes to the excellent smuggling ships of Serenity and La Sirena. The Falcon is herby demoted to man on his weed bicycle with his pet monkey and a gun

(to be clear the monkey is Solo)

This is the analysis I am here for

Also, the Kelvin-timeline (Abrams movies) Constitution-class is 762 meters long, over twice as long as the primary timeline incarnation and nearly as long as an Imperial-class Star Destroyer (900m), although it’s still dwarfed by the Imperial II-class (1600m). That said, the arms and armor of Star Wars ships vastly outclass those of Trek; this isn’t a dick-waving thing, it’s that we’ve seen turbolasers obliterate large asteroids with a single shot, while in Trek that kind of destruction wasn’t something even the Klingons had on every ship. As for shields? We saw that shields installed in fighters could stand up to those same capital ship turbolasers for a shot or two, let alone the shields installed in a capital ship. Meanwhile, Starfleet ships are armed for defense, but they didn’t build a dedicated warship until the Defiant-class.

The Millennium Falcon is a freighter that’s been hot rodded to hell and back, making it very temperamental in the process, with all of its upkeep gone into performance and functionality rather than appearance. It’s a Ford Econoline with an aftermarket engine and beefed up drivetrain, a half-assed conversion so they can sleep in it on the road, and some guns hidden behind a panel in case shit gets real. It’s not going to take on an APC or any kind of aircraft; it’s made to get the hell out of there but not look like it’s got a 0-60 of 7 seconds and 30 ft² of hidden cargo space.

Small objection to add to the overall chaos:

Trek weaponry is an order of magnitude more powerful than Star Wars weaponry, not weaker. A few examples:

Hand phasers in Star Trek put out more destructive power than a turbolaser, which is the traditional naval ship weapon in the Star Wars universe.

Shipboard weapons in Star Trek are commonly as powerful as the Death Star superlaser, to the point where the Enterprise can glass a continent in minutes and blow up an entire planet by itself.

That said, I think it’s most useful to consider the narrative purpose of how these series approach technology, because I think that’s the real difficulty in matching them up. The Death Star blows up planets because it’s a superweapon. The Enterprise has shields that last as long as they need to in order to make the scene exciting and adventurous.
