  • Just a guess, but I assume magazines are part of physical press. I know a lot of millenials (according to this definition of millenial) who buy magazines for their interests, be it music, games, geology, astronomy or history. A lot of times it overlaps with having been in tertiary education and I assume Gen Z would show similar statistics if you asked someone who was pursuing a masters degree or a doctorate.






  • I appreciate the advice but don’t worry too much about me; I’m currently doing one, max. two episodes per day and while it’s still semester break at my uni right now I don’t even manage to watch one every single day and when classes start again it’ll be even worse :') Plus I (presumably, still on the search for a doc to diagnose me) got ADHD so I gotta make the most out of the obsession while it lasts, the last time I was this obsessed with something it only took 2 years for the obsession to wear off…
    But I’ve been more or less (mostly less for the past 8 years) invested in Star Trek since I was like 10 so I assume this is gonna be a life long thing for me :)





  • Let me preface this with the fact that this is no way meant to hate of Star Trek:
    I can’t remember if it was season 1 or 2 of SNW, but there were multiple episodes where Uhura spoke about different dialects of a language. And I think that’s technically what aliens would consider all languages that are spoken on earth as well; dialects of each other. So the in-universe explanation is that the Federation was founded by humans and therefore thinks of languages on earth as languages and every other planet only has different dialects, not languages. Linguistically it’s rather vague what constitues as a language and what is a dialect.
    The ‘normal’ explanation is one of the imperialism of the English language and American exceptionalism (Aliens of one planet all speak one ‘weird’ other language, while we all speak very ‘normal’ English on our planet).
