This happened to me recently ordering stuff directly from a company. The package arrived in an Amazon box.

Middle Earth is flat. When they sail to the Undying Lands, they actually just fall off the edge.

They’re often treated with hormones.
I sort of misspoke with regard to watermelons -
Seedless watermelons are created by crossing a regular watermelon with 22 chromosomes with one that’s been chemically treated to have 44 chromosomes. The resulting hybrid has 33 chromosomes, making it sterile and seedless.
- Comment on imagine 2 months ago:
That’s treated with a chemical to keep it from making seeds.

They know that their base hates it (not that they probably even understand what it is) and so it makes a good scapegoat.

Mork from Ork. Nanoo nanoo. It’s what I always think of when I think of him. That and What Dreams May Come, for sure.
- Comment on If we eat three meals a day, why do we poop only once? 4 months ago:
You’re right, I mixed it up. I feel like if it was LIFO that there would be meals that would never come out, ever.

Just wanted to point out that the colon is LIFO and not FIFO

- Comment on Superman | Official Teaser Trailer 4 months ago:
Love you buddy, but I (mostly) disagree. There’s a few things that I think could be better, like casting, but overall I’m optimistic. It feels hopeful to me. Kind of tired of the drab, downright dirty looking costumes and looking forward to this brighter color palette. And his costume looks like the costume of maybe a hero starting out, which is how I’m taking it.
Guess we’ll see! If I’m wrong it wouldn’t be the first time.

Looks pretty good (please dont suck please don’t suck)
Seeing Nathan Fillion with a bowl cut really throws me off. I think he would have been a better Hal Jordan.

The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.

- Comment on Where does the music go? 6 months ago:
Oh, and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
A quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died

It’s a real bummer interviewing these external applicants that you know won’t get the job. Like I wish I could just let them know, but we’re required to go through the entire interview process.
- Comment on Is martial arts really that useful? 7 months ago:
My two cents having practiced several.
Almost all of them are useful in that they are a form of physical activity. They can keep you in good shape, and can also help you develop discipline.
Many are more art than practical. Arts like krav maga or kali are more geared towards practical use (self defense).
There is also a thing you can generally think of as “energy” that arts may have that often trend to make them not very practical against arts outside of themselves. For example, if a wing chun practitioner attempts to trap with you, and you’re a boxer, it just doesn’t work. It’s somewhat about range, but also the general “feel” of the art as well. JKD attempts to deal with this by teaching different arts that can be used within different ranges.
My one instructor also likened martial arts to technology, saying that they must evolve over time or just end up becoming ineffective for self defense.
The best thing to do in a situation, if you can, is to just escape. Your wallet is not worth your life.
