Is that it presupposes &#34;human&#34; as a goal state. We&#39;re neither meant to be here nor particularly lucky. Due to the obvious advantages in survivability, *something* sentient/sapient was going to happen. Has happened, you know, a few dozen times on this one planet. We aren&#39;t the first &#39;interesting&#39; members of Genus Homo, even, let alone &#39;Earth Life&#39;. We just got to rocketry first. 2026-01-14T12:50:42Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsrkcnck00ukafk8xxdvky280f76w7wcmakpns0tkuzs2afu9hhn2qzyz4uygxlj9w8n50k87pw6wnpxsrc3yxxnd0krhlcwq8jxaf4uf6aulnfjn7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz805adzz3dg237kcas97rr7kjtyfexnjd6u7teh2pufte0mcd2hgz0gm32'>nevent1q…gm32</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That&#39;s a good one!<br/><br/>There&#39;s one common in Acadie French, &#34;Tabarnac&#34; (which I&#39;ve probably misspelled), which has some serious weight to it but just means &#34;Tabernacle&#34;, which of course in English is a perfectly clean word. 2026-01-09T12:50:20Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs2tzpfcu7pp7lnutpnxk2gg33p87qfst2lxtru9sjz4y0dnu7ng4szyz4uygxlj9w8n50k87pw6wnpxsrc3yxxnd0krhlcwq8jxaf4uf6auzgekl8 #WordWeavers 1/9. Have you invented any words/sayings/swears etc. for your story?<br/><br/>I don&#39;t shy away from the real cursewords, but for _Entangling Vines_, I&#39;ve had to adapt a bit anyway. Even things like &#34;God Damn&#34; need to be adapted when the religious context of the world is different, you know?<br/><br/>I&#39;ve toyed with coming up with special curses for my hardSF universe but since it&#39;s rooted in actual earth, it&#39;s hard to say if I shouldn&#39;t just pull on fun curses in languages I don&#39;t yet speak.<br/><br/>more&gt; 2026-01-09T12:42:33Z
