Megaseconds both dragged and flew. The Call of the Void had filled out her crew, hiring enough hands to run comfortably and renting out space to various scientists and researchers whose desire to see what was out there matched that of her owner. Unfortunately, she had also been caught up in politics. Aaren had been able to convince the etani consulate that negotiations could be handled by actual diplomats, but they had in turn made clear that any treaty would require all three heads of state to sign it, and their Emperor was only willing to do so within Aaren’s so-called throne room. Worse, the Empire would not consider any such treaty valid until it also bore Aaren’s signature, as guarantor for the non-nobles signing the document.
Due to this insanity, the Trappistine government had ‘politely requested’ that the Call of the Void remain within human-held space until such time as negotiations had been completed and the treaty signed. Aaren’s grand ship of exploration, commerce, and being-a-big-stick was relegated to milk-runs between TRAPPIST-1, Sol, Ross 128, Gliese 1061, and Teegarden, for longer than she’d been under construction!
Not all was bad, thankfully. Between Amelia and Vaar, Aaren’s effective paramilitary and domestic seconds-in-command, the crew and passenger lists of the Call of the Void were far from purely human. She now berthed some 120 humans, 80 wargain, and a full 200 etanis. Half were on the payroll of Pierce Initiatives either directly or via contract with Corvid Industries for the operation of the ship itself, and the remainder were paying Pierce Initiatives for the use of her facilities. With so many nonhumans on board, the illumination setting that had originally been intended for ship’s-night was now her standard – dim for humans but enough to do their jobs, and comfortable for the rest. Rooms where only humans worked were often set to a higher level, but it had been agreed to mark them with a warning sign so that those with more sensitive eyes could don protective goggles before entering. A benefit of the diverse crew was that, for many, tooling around human space was exploration.
Aaren was, in a way, simply showing off their back yard to new f

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
10 years ago today, on November 18, 2011 Rihana released "Talk That Talk," her 6th album and a personal favorite of mine for being one of the raunchiest sets of bangers any major pop girl released during this time period, as well as being bop after pop of immaculately produced pop music from her team. In addition to the music itself, Talk That Talk is interesting in part because it was a Rihanna album that originally wasn’t meant to be. Throughout the majority of 2011, Rihanna was in the midst of the huge success of the “Loud” era that was defined by a massive pile of singles that reaffirmed her status atop the pop game and found her coming into her own bad girl reputation on songs like Only Girl, S&M, Man Down, What’s My Name and more. During summer of 2011 she had been talking about reissuing the album in a similar way to her previous smash reissue Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded, adding songs she had been recording during the album’s tour.
During the push of the final single from the standard version of Loud during September however, she announced the reissue had been changed into a completely separate album of its own, and on September 22, 2011, she released the first single from the project, a track with DJ Calvin Harris titled “We Found Love.” The song debuted as the Loud era was still in full swing, with its first week on the charts during the same week that Loud single "Cheers (Drink to That)" reached its Hot 100 peak, but "We Found Love" immediately took off and started the new era, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in its sixth week on the chart and remaining there for 10 non-consecutive weeks throughout the end of 2011 and start of 2012. It also reached #1 in the UK, Spain, France, Korea Switzerland and more, as well as earning 9x Platinum certification from the RIAA. In addition to becoming a legacy-defining hit for Rihanna and a launchpad into the mainstream pop world for Calvin Harris, it also was key to solidifying EDM's place at the center of pop music for much of the 2010s and helping to popularize the post-chorus EDM drop in crossover pop hits.
The second single, You da One, built more on Rihanna’s roots by riding a blissed out reggae-pop groove, and gave her a minor success as it reached #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 in addition to giving her her 17th #1 on the Dance Club Songs chart and 2x Platinum certification by the RIAA. Upon its relea

Chapter 25
“Thief!” a scream rang out, piercing through the white noise and chatter of the busy street of the station. “Stop her!”
The sound of quickly running hoofs pounding on the station’s metal floor, punctuated by aghast shouts and yells from passersby, as they were involuntarily involved in the ongoing incident, either by being pushed out of the way or used as brief steppingstones for the nimble creature tearing through the crowd at high speed.
Hot on her trail were two other sets of footsteps. One very regular, rhythmically hitting the floor every second while taking long strides, the other characterized but further spread out, hard bumps on the floor as their owner quickly hopped along.
Reprig had trouble keeping his eyes on the back of the running thief in the crowd of much larger people around them. And not only her. Even though the freak was usually sticking out like a sore thumb amongst normal people, he had lost sight of even him in the sheer chaos around them. But he also couldn’t concentrate on that right now.
Both of them had bolted without much thought once they had heard the first cry for help and spotted the culprit.
However, she was a fast beast, and it wasn’t easy catching up to her. A kezthir if Reprig had seen correctly. And judging by her height and barely developed antlers, it was a young woman. Not that that mattered too much among those ne’er do wells
She tore through the crowd with reckless abandon, her small stature allowing her to slip through the people, most of which were caught unaware by what was happening through them.
Of course, Reprig himself wasn’t any larger than the young scoundrel, however he did have a few more qualms about getting too up-close and personal with random strangers, causing him to more often than not take a slightly longer way through the crowd than the escaping criminal.
If only so many of the civilians weren’

A/N: Hey everybody! In case you missed it, the teased crossover has been released. Even if you've never read "We need a Deathworlder!", I would say it is worth the read anyway. Maybe it will even introduce you to a story you will love. I know I do. If you are interested, check it out here.
As always, for now I hope you enjoy!
Chapter 24
The general travel speed had more than tripled, after the two deathworlders had split off from the group, now using the fast-lane walkways appropriate for their size. The life on the station went on below them, out of their way, as they briskly marched on.
Some of the higher buildings of the station still stuck up into their peripheral vision, along with the other walkways also snaking their way through the open space of the station.
“So…that was an experience, wasn’t it?” James asked, after they had walked in silence for multiple minutes. Even though Reprig had announced himself following James this time, that didn’t stop him from always staying just out of James’ sight. Of course, James could still clearly hear his footsteps and breathing just behind him, however an irking feeling of paranoia still urged him to turn around and look at the man every few seconds. He hoped that maybe making conversation would help ease that feeling a bit.
Reprig made a sort of sniffling sound for a moment and James imagined the Warrant Officer looking at the back of his head distrustfully, wriggling his trunk a bit while deciding how to answer to that.
“Well, you don’t get to meet the people ruling our world every day,” he finally replied, almost dismissively. At least he had answered at all.
But that did bring up a good point.
“Now that you mention it,” James responded and threw another look over his shoulder, causing Reprig to jerk his head sideways to better look back at James. The walls of the station were still slowly crawling past them in their periphery, as James showed no signs of slowing down, despite not looking where he was going anymore. “No offense, Reprig, but why were you there? Warrant Officer is a nice title and all,

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
