I need to sleep but I'm thinking about how in the original Bardock movie, when little Vegeta found out his world was destroyed, they believed he was the only survivor at the time. Who knows how long it was before he was reunited with Nappa and Raditz, but for what probably felt like a lifetime, that little guy believed he was completely alone.

Fast forward to when he meets his son from a future where HE is the only survivor (aside from his mom), because the world was decimated by the androids.

Just wondering if those two dots ever connected for Vegeta or if that was a big part of why he was so god damned mean to Trunks. It's a lot of trauma and toxic indoctrination to work through.

In the club

It always made me sad that, despite being so much like Goku in appearance and personality, all Goten knew about Goku for the first seven years of his life was what he learned from stories. Most of which he had been told by his brother. And, because of Gohan’s stories, Goten had the image of this great hero, of this angel that could always, no matter what, swoop in and save the day. That he could do anything. That dads could do anything and could do no wrong. That no one could defeat them - which is an odd perception for him to have, when you think of the fact that Goku was dead. Goku had died, so of course he couldn’t be the strongest (and, even if he was, he would still have faults, still couldn’t possibly do everything). Of course he couldn’t always be there to save the day. Of course he wasn’t perfect. Dads aren’t perfect - they aren’t angels like Gohan had him believe. 

And Goten learns that the hard way. Because Goten, even though he didn’t know Goku, believed in him. Believed that he was the best. Because Gohan told him that he was. But Gohan died. And Goku didn’t save him. Gohan was Goku’s son and he should have been there to save him. But he wasn’t. So Goten’s image of his father is completely shattered, his trust in him is broken in the few hours that he’s known him by the time this scene rolls around. And - even though Goten gets that faith back when he finally sees Goku in action - this scene break my heart because Goten, up to this point, was always, always believing in him. So he can’t at all understand how Goku could let him down.

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

Obi-Wan: “Did you know that Anakin is still alive?”

Bail: “Skywalker? No way! There’s no way that Anakin Skywalker lived for twenty years without getting on at least half of the galaxy’s nerves or being the most dramatic man in the room or without fighting a ten-year-old or oh my heavens he’s Darth Vader, isn’t he?”
