In a 1000 years, (hence the name, right?) we’ll have everything downloaded to the Skynet/Internet Archive; the trouble is the indexing went askew in the Tribble Wars… ah, yeah, long story there, and if I could remember, I’d tell you’all…
Great Scott! In 1000 years y’all will have un-contracted out to you’all but will still hold on to it’s apostrophe. I thought English would change more in 1k years.
At interstellar distances, it does make sense to kill a language by forbidding any new words from entering or old words from changing. If you didn’t, then every world would have its own language, and from the distance to travel, the language would be completely different every time you arrived.
Not if the civilization is connected by wormhole gateways a la Peter F Hamilton’s Commonwealth series. You can get on the commuter train in London, ride it through a couple gateways in junction stations across a couple hundred light years, and arrive at one of hundreds of connected planets. With easy instantaneous travel language would evolve across the culture as a whole.
Dude, just use the warp. I understand that the webway is much more convenient, but that’s a bit of an Eldar thing, and ever since Magnus did his thing, the human webway has kinda been put on hiatus. Anyways.
If someone can create an evil doppelganger, they can create two evil doppelgangers. …. I was going to make a joke about how at about 100 evil doppelgangers it’d make more sense to just kill them all and not worry about the one real one, but…
“I’m sorry, sir. Your plan to conquer the world by making copies of a random twit has run into funding difficulties. Your evil lair has gone into foreclosure and all the goons took what they could carry and quit.”

… bottom line, you should shoot the one who knows the answers… right?

Praise the emperor.
Your girlfriend’s facial expression and comment were the best, I could easily imagine her resigned tone.
PS. The evil doppelganger is the one who says, “Just shoot us both, it is the only way the world will be safe.”
“Hah! I knew you’d fall for that!”
What were doing on October 19, 2009? How did it change your life?
Well, I was drawing my first strip and thinking to myself: “Welp, let’s see how a strip with bugs instead of people will do.”
He “remembers”. Must be the clone, get ‘im!
well i would assume the evil clone was just as harmless as you are

Why did the bank of evil approve the loan in the first place?
Im confused. Are you critizing your own comment about your evil plan?
nope that’s his evil doppelganger.
