In 500 million years when all evidence of our civilization have been completely destroyed, the Apollo landing sites and that spear will be the only evidence that our species ever existed.
"Simple, real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time." -Mustrum Ridcully in Terry Pratchett's Hogfather p. 142 (HarperPrism 1996)
The family you will see in the video below organized a wonderful surprise for their adopted daughter. The parents were matched for adoption with the blond girl via The Adoption Exchange, an organization that helps match adoptive parents with children in the foster care system. The girl lived in a different state when she was matched with her adoptive parents, so they traveled to meet her and the rest of her foster family. It was very evident to the parents that their adopted daughter was very close with her foster sister and missed her and worried about her while they were separated. For Christmas, the parents decided to fly in the foster sister for a visit and managed to keep it a secret until Christmas.
The sisters' reunion is simply beautiful, and it's clear in just a matter of seconds that they absolutely love and adore each other. What's even more spectacular about this family's story is that it doesn't just end with this Christmas surprise. The foster sister that was flown in to visit was approaching the age when she would be emancipated from the foster care system, but she did not feel as though she had a real family. When she expressed her desire to have a family to call her own during this visit, this wonderful and kind family decided to adopt her as an adult. A month later when the courts emancipated the older sister, she was adopted into the loving family she always wanted.
According to The Child Welfare Information Gateway, there were 399,546 in September of 2012. Further, 47% of these children, or approximately 187,787 children, were in non-relative foster homes. Though there are plenty of loving, kind, and compassionate foster parents within the system, this does not mean that the system does not have its flaws. The temporary nature of the system that allows for children to move homes multiple times can leave foster children feeling like they have nowhere to belong or call home. This can challenge their sense of self-worth and desirability, often times causing them to attribute each bad or wrong fit with a foster family to an intrinsic fault in themselves. This is devastating to the psychological development of the child and can leave them feeling like they have never and will never be good enough, that there is something inherently wrong with them, and that no one wants them or cares about them. When we see families like the one in the video below, it becomes so undeniably evident that a good match and a permanent adoption can really boost the confidence of a foster child.
The tragedy of that video is that almost all toddlers lack the combination of intellectual capacity and social conditioning it takes to properly appreciate the sweetness of crime, the illicit thrill of a heist, that child is pleased but only in the way a bear is pleased to be snout-deep in honeycomb
So remember that Pogo video about feminism? He's saying now it was all an "experiment" to show "the enormous breed of hyenas out there taking gender equality and feminism hostage" and also about how awful social media is or something. So if you got mad at him, that's what he wanted! Also you're a terrible person.

Oh no! I got marginally bothered by someone who's opening lines suggested that literally treating women like children was a positive thing! I am the real oppressor after all!

The Moon is moving away from the Earth, so it won't ever fall. Eventually it will get far enough away that the tidal forces will reach equilibrium with the Earth and it will stop moving away, unfortunately the Sun will become a Red Giant before that happens and swallow both of them and that stupid spear in fiery death.
Whoa the girl in the middle almost broke the green shirt girl's arm horribly man
This is giving me flashbacks to my days as a gymnastics/tumbling coach. Don't jump back, jump up! Flipping over is the easy part, your body just needs enough airtime and it'll take care of the rest.
Also I just realized they are all holding hands christ that is a bad idea.
Hmm, I was about to say, I have a free 30 day Crunchyroll pass from last month's Lootcrate that I wasn't going to use, but when I went to look at it, it's got no code or anything, and seems like just go to

I could have halfway appreciated the stupidity of it, if it was a lifesized replica of the spear.
Instead they're spending millions to ship out a plastic fork to the moon, so I can't even appreciate this fully as an Evangelion fan.
The giant robots they set up so they can be seen while driving in Japanese highways, that shit is fucking awesome.
This? Kind of a pointless waste of money that could have been used to make another highway robot.

It's a mobile suit! IT'S A GUNDAAAAAM!!
edit: It was its last grand stand show.
to be fair, a lifesize replica of it would be enourmous and (literally?) weigh a ton
I could maybe see that being feasible if it were built on-site in a moonbase adjacent to a 2001 monolith or whatever, but sending it via spacecraft?
getting mass into orbit is expensive
I do agree on it being pretty dumb, though

I feel bad for the girl in the green shirt, I had a trampoline, that was not her fault at all, her bounce was totally stolen by the people beside her.
