Ah. Account I read must have been a simplified version, probably for kids. Or I just forgot. Pretty sure I got it from D’Aulaire’s Book of Greek Myths

I thought he was autosexual/romantic, if anything. This is the “stare into the water admiring his own face until he dies” guy, right?

While I do agree with what you’re saying, and it’s a way of reading it I hadn’t considered, I don’t think the distinction is clear from the meme. Then again, it’s just a meme, so my expectations can probably stand to be lowered a bit.

This might be heresy, but I feel like saying that “science isn’t truth, it’s the search for truth”, and “if you disagree it’s not a disagreement, you’re just wrong” is internally inconsistent.

Ain’t nobody told you to hurt me like that… Right in the feels man…

Depends on the bear for me. Black bear? I’ll take that over a man any day (am a man). Polar bear? Yeah, no. I don’t want to be within 1000 miles of a polar bear. Grizzley? Haven’t decided, probably leaning towards wanting the bear, unless it actively hates me for some reason

Touche

Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, for mining, by doing what the meme says (I don’t know what “fossilized algae” refers to, but it makes the nitro not go boom, when it really wants to boom). After seeing what it was eventually used for (bombs. Lots and lots of bombs) he regretted ever making it. He set up the Nobel Peace Prize as a result, to try and even the scales a bit, so to speak

I don’t know anything about Archer (what was his destiny thing?), but I like what they’ve done with Pike. His knowing how he’s going to die (more or less) doesn’t change his competency as a captain, imo, just gives him some pretty good personal issues to grapple with, in a pretty Trekkie way.
