(protect Rose at all costs)
It was 2005, she was 19 with no A levels from a low level income household with no computer of their own. The fuck can you expect? She's to be commended for even considering using the internet!
(i'mma cut a bitch ๐ค)
And yet, her hands are poised for touch typing. Curious.
Maybe her underfunded working class neighborhood school taught touch typing on typewriters.
When I was in computer class we in grade 7 we had Macintosh computers with 5 1/2 inch floppy disk drives. In grade 9 we had computers with the internet but still had typing class with old ass typing books.
TIL you need to watch Dr Who as a period piece.
Everything is a period piece 20 years later.
Not necessarily. Most scifi and fantasy are not.
Scifi tends to be a time piece on what people at that point in time thought the future would look like, which changes every couple of decades.
I feel this in my joints.
All the time, constantly
The Doctor doesn't really wear eccentric clothes, he's just completely fed up with trying to be accommodating to the period he's in. He's a very very old person after all.
Never thought I would live to see the day that what used to be a contemporary episode of Doctor Who would have to be viewed as if it was a time travel episode
The original series went from 1963-1989 and some of those episodes were contemporary for the time, too.
Your reply should be included in the meme-pic

Idk, maybe try printing out the meme & putting it in a Ferrari filled with roses.
Here, make it look something like this:
Sounds fake and like a lot of effort. I'll just continue stanning her character from 20 years ago, that's definitely going to work eventually.
Hey, get in line, I've been doing that for 20 years now!!
(Besides, the Ferrari+roses worked 25 years ago, people change in 5 years)
Also, yikers, them year numbers :| ...
