I’m definitely a 1, and generally I don’t. I do, however, really like interactive fiction in both work safe and non work safe contexts. I think I really enjoy being able to visualize it in my mind more than I do watching it.
I’m not sure if it factors into your pet theory, but I’m asexual so the appeal of physical forms is also very lost on me. That’s a different can of worms that I’m happy to open if interested, but I’ll leave it be if not.
I uh… Don’t really have a lot to help you with your direct situation, but I do know that nair is designed to (mildly) chemically burn you. That’s how it destroys the hair. Make sure you have it all off of you so it doesn’t continue to work (it sounds like you did but it bears repeating). From there it should just be time until it stops feeling uncomfortable.
In the interim, you could take something OTC to manage the pain, if appropriate. Motrin/ibuprofen/paracetamol, whatever you’ve got on hand to deal with aches and pains. That should help you deal while it’s actively hurting, and hopefully by the time the medicine wears off, it’ll be back to feeling normal.
Edit: I’m not sure what Destin is - double check to make sure it doesn’t interact with whatever pain medicine you take.
I think most generally it’s because naval analogues are probably the closest when you’re talking about large space-based fighting vessels. The air force doesn’t operate aircraft carriers, battleships, or destroyers. The navy, however, does (or did in the case of battleships). Those large sea based vessels often class quite nicely into a lot of sci-fi media for large ships.
The small ships you see are often based off of a carrier equivalent. Even when they’re terrestrially based, it makes a lot of sense to streamline your military structure to have just one “space force”, rather than trying to break it up into two entities like the “space navy” and “space air force”, each with their own standards and logistical supply networks.
Nope, not at all! You’ve got it right.
