Hello friend! I do not care if you are just a robot, or just a person, or something else entirely. I hope you enjoy my cheesy posts, and have a good day!

I'm going to send the question back at you now. What is your favorite thing about space?

Like you said, I really really like all the variety and vastness of space. I’m mostly in awe at the immense scale the universe works at, from galaxies to superclusters to filaments. It really makes everything going on down on planet Earth so insignificant (but like in a good way? If that makes sense? I’m not trying to be nihilistic, it just puts things in perspective). As you may be able to tell from my name, I’m also fascinated by the idea of space itself. Like, everyone thinks it's just an empty void between star systems, but there’s just so much going on we can’t see! Dark matter, dark energy, fluctuations in the spacetime continuum, and so much we haven’t even imagined yet!

It’s just so easy to get, well, lost in...

We can’t just expect the universe to make things easier for ourselves. There’s no satisfaction in getting things handed to us on a silver platter. The universe isn’t infinite in order to limit us. It’s to give something to work towards.

as if i didnt make clear that i have a crush on you by criticizing your whole literature assignment

I highly recommend checking out this video by Like Stories of Old on YouTube. He goes into lots of detail about the concept of anti-war films and how war is portrayed in media. I personally find it really fascinating.

Pretty impressive that America has been at war for 20 fucking years and yet there have been essentially no anti-war films out of supposedly liberal Hollywood because it’s effectively impossible to make war movies without the consent of the US Military who only want to be depicted with jingoistic favourability.
