Poll:
Aliens are real, and first contact was made. Through some contrivance of events you personally either made first contact or are present in the first contact group. During those first critical 24 hours of establishing cultural understanding, it happens you, personally, wind up having to explain to the aliens the significance of someone saying "nice" in response to the number 69.
How do you feel about this?

"In our most common numeral system, the representation of the number 69 resembles two humans performing a mutually pleasurable activity, specifically oral stimulation of the reproductive organs for non-reproductive activity. Many people enjoy this act, so it is customary to interject "nice!" when someone mentions the number".
"Ah, so 69 is your 137."
Hey, you.
Yeah, you specifically.
I don't know what exactly you're going through, but based on observation, I know you're going through some shit. And yet you keep going, bringing joy to those around you, improving people's lives by being in them.
You know what that makes you?
It makes you a badass.💪
You rock!
So apparently I was supposed to make an #introduction post. Oh well, better late than never.
I'm an early #millennial, and I'm further left that most people on most issues.
I use #GNU/#Linux, currently satisfied with #Manjaro.
Also a big #Nintendo guy because all have sinned and fall short of the perfection of #Stallman.
I'm a somewhat active #TVTropes contributor and I sporadically work on a #calendar converter written in 93% #Python and 7% #Fortran.
I'm pretty obsessed with calendars.
TIL about Elasmotherium sibericum. Nicknamed the Siberian unicorn, it roamed the Asian steppes from 2.6 million to 39000 years ago. It was a relative of the rhinoceros with shaggy fur and a single enormous horn in the middle of its head.
It's a real shame they're extinct.

I've been playing StarFox Zero and I don't hate it. In fact I've actually been enjoying myself.
