#yes I'm british

[misculenica]

As a long term Doctor Who fan (I grew up on late Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant), I love the serious moments of this show. I still love it into my adulthood.

It can be goofy, it can be creative, it can be heartwarming - it can even be stupid sometimes. But the serious moments always hit so hard, and watching through things again... Wow.

This is good writing, and it's breathtaking to see it at it's finest, especially given all the crap that's coming out nowadays.

Nothing serious to say or really discuss, just wanted to throw out there my love and appreciation for the show and all the years of entertainment it gave me throughout my life <3

Was chatting with my cousin today about the weird experience of being a minority in your own country. No wants to claim you half the time. Neither your own country or your families. Somehow, you always seem to come up lacking in the eyes of others.

But luckily we know we belong, and stand in our cultures strong.

Hobson wasn’t the Fenton’s butler for long, but he was their butler long enough to become … concerned. Specifically, for a certain black-haired teenager.

However, he didn't know the best way to go about stepping in on this situation. So, instead he calls a friend. Surely Alfred will know what to do.

RB’s qualifying strategy ‘didn’t make much sense to me’ – Ricciardo

Definitely not. At the end that was, honestly Q2 was - we need to talk about it and figure it out, because in the moment it didn't make much sense to me. Both runs I felt our plan was well off. And then at the end we're struggling to get the lap in, so then creating enemies in the last corner overtaking - I hate when other people do it to me and I'm being told do it otherwise we're not going to get a lap. Still, starting one and a half two seconds behind Zhou, you’re never going to get a good quali lap in dirty air. You say best track but honestly it was far from that. That was certainly one of our most… not good sessions.

I love trying to do historical research, you want an answer to a simple question like "could Jews serve in the British army in the 1880s" and you get back

Jews in the American Revolution

Jews in the American Civil War

Jews in World War I

Jews who fought for Nazi Germany

Thanks, that absolutely covers the time period and country I specifically asked for, couldn't have done it without you

Listen billy butcher simps, I get it, but unfortunately I am British so he does remind me of every teacher Ever. And I cannot with that. "Oh he's sooo hot" yes but he does sound like my dad's friend and that's not it for me... All the more power to u but like I can't.

since i forget it's not common knowledge for non-Dog™ people, brief overview of the collie thing and why i was losing my shit:

idk every country, but at least for the American Kennel Club (AKC) and Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), "Collie" refers to a specific breed of dog, most iconic as the breed of "Lassie":

these three dogs are all collies. collies come in two varieties, "rough" (longhair, more common), and "smooth" (shorthair, less common). both rough and smooth collies are considered the same breed, judged to the same standards, and can be born in the same litter, similar to how a black lab and a yellow lab are both labradors. it is equally correct to refer to them as a "rough/smooth collie" or as simply a "collie," as that is their official breed name in the US/Canada. while they used to be extremely popular in the mid-20th century, collies sit at #39 on the AKC breed popularity lists nowadays, making them solidly "somewhat uncommon."

a border collie is a separate and distinct breed of dog. while they share a common ancestor with the collie and are also herding dogs, their appearance, temperament, and herding style are all distinctly different. they can come in many colors, but are most commonly black and white with medium-to-long hair:

while a border collie is a type of collie-dog, in the US they are generally referred to as "borders" or "BCs" rather than just "collies," as "collie" is already the name of a different breed. BCs are more popular than collies nowadays, so most laypeople are more familiar with them than with rough or smooth collies. but given that "collie" already refers to a different breed, in the US/Canada it's not technically correct to also refer to a border collie as simply "collie" (or call them a collie, who cares, i'm not a fucking cop).

however, this gets further muddled depending on which country you're in - for example in the UK and many european countries, there is no breed that's simply called "collie" - Rough Collies and Smooth Collies are two separate breeds, in addition to Border Collies, which are significantly more popular. in the UK, "collie" isn't the name of any specific breed, but most people will use it as shorthand for their BCs. "collie" in the UK and "collie" in the US often mean two different dogs.

and then you also have the bearded collie, again a distinct breed, but much more difficult to mix up due to A) their rarity and B) the fact that they look like walking muppets:

and honorable mention to the shetland sheepdog or "sheltie," which while related to the collie is, again, a separate breed, and most notably is significantly smaller than a collie. if you see a dog that looks like Lassie But Small, it's probably a sheltie.

IN CONCLUSION:

several different recognized breeds of collie-type dogs

only one breed is officially named "Collie" and that's the rough/smooth varieties in the US and Canada (aka "Lassie dog")

ergo, there is only one breed of dog that "collie" actually refers to (in North America at least)

however due to the differences in names between countries and the overall higher popularity of border collies, they and other breeds are sometimes also referred to as "collies"

i own a rough collie and she is very pretty and therefore superior and if you call any other type of dog a collie except for the rough/smooth type you're Wrong.

thank u for coming to my TED talk.

Lando is immature and spoiled thats why when things dont go his way he goes into shock . He never got used to it as a child and his family/mclaren always pampered him

Anon you're kinda cooking, which has motivated me to enter the kitchen as well.

First off Lando IS talented. But, maybe it's cause I'm an American (I'm from LA/NYC tho, yes we're different) but I'll always root for an underdog or non-rich person, over the silver spoon kid.

Even with this I initially liked Lando, I was really happy when he got his first win. He's charming, funny, and cute. And i'm gay as shit so his babyboyness captivates me, but his recent behavior reminds me WAY too much of the super rich kids I've gone to school with.

I've seen/heard older fans and younger fans both kinda brush it off calling him emo or just saying he has a bad poker face. However, (and i think this is the ultimate reason he rubs me the wrong way) I'm 22 which is young too but I think is like close enough to 24 but also far enough to be like 'okaay dude why are we acting like this in public?' Like this is very teenager angst bullshit which is cute up until like 21 and maybe my age, but dude you're turning 25 before the end of the year! It screams someone who has never faced true unfair adversity despite how hard they work.
