You’ve Been Trapped In This Time Loop For Centuries, And An Attempted “perfect Run” Decades In

Thanks for the resource

After reading it I was wondering about Mia

I am basically monolingual (English) with Canadian core French (fairly useless) and some Korean. I lived in France for 3 months and spent the whole time hearing my name pronounced wrong because it has a "th" sound. This made me wonder, what would be a universally pronouncible name?

From what I know: can't be an L/R name because some languages don't distinguish that boundary, no J because some languages don't have that sound, no TH obviously, really avoid H in general. So I think, heavy on the vowels, what about Adam? My colleague who speaks Japanese informed me that in Japanese M must be paired with a vowel sound, so Adam was impossible but Aiden would work.

So I was thinking, Miyo, maybe Eve? I know that sometimes a word will have a different meaning in another language, but let's ignore that. What name would be easily pronouncible in the most languages? It doesn't have to follow name rules in every language, just be a normal name from a language that other people can say without distorting. Is there a chart somewhere that shows sound overlap for languages? Does every language have M? I'm so curious.

There's a new swarm of totally real ladies with empty blogs following me, and I'm blocking and reporting them left and right. If you are an actual human person with a brand new account trying to follow me, I urge you to please post *anything at all* on your blog so that when I go to check who the heck you are, I can tell you aren't just a bot-encrusted void. Just a simple "hello this is my lurker account I use to follow people" is enough.

ancient humans were also just some guy, if you got a baby from 60,000 BC and raised him in the 21st century he’d just be another teen boy named logan who tech decks off your arm

I love this take

Since birth you could see a counter above people’s heads. It doesn’t count down to their death. It goes up and down randomly. You’re desperate to find out what it means.

We helped quite a few guys with Super Strength get into the construction business. I know this one Veterinarian who can speak with animals. Not everyone with superpowers wants to be out there fighting crime or robbing banks. That’s where our Job Placement Agency comes in.

So excited!!!! First launch I seen live.

We are going to the Moon!

At 1:47 a.m. EST on Nov. 16, 2022, our Orion spacecraft launched aboard the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket from historic Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on a path to the Moon, officially beginning the Artemis I mission.

This mission is the first integrated test of NASA’s deep space exploration systems: the Orion spacecraft, the SLS rocket, and Kennedy ground systems. This is the very first time this rocket and spacecraft have flown together, and it’s the first of many Artemis missions to the Moon. Artemis I is uncrewed, but it lays the groundwork for increasingly complex missions that will land humans on the lunar surface, including the first woman and the first person of color to do so.

With Artemis, we will build a long-term human presence on the Moon and prepare humanity for future exploration plans to Mars and beyond.

If Jane Bennet was the narrator of Pride and Prejudice, we'd have a new type of unreliable narrator that I can't personally think of any examples of in literature (though they are common in real life) where the person is too nice to describe immoral and/or foolish characters and their motives accurately.

Classic, love it
