It was hornets actually.

Protip for all the militaries and mercenary companies of the world. If your potential new employee answers anything on his application form with things like “I enjoy drinking human blood in my free time, “My skills consist of being covered in bees, or “*I GOT ALL THE FLAWED RECESSIVE GENES!!! do yourself a favor and don’t call them for a second interview. Stellar track record or not, it’s been proven time and time again to invite nothing but trouble.
 
Seriously, look at how well the guys who hired the super soldiers with no glaring physical or mental fuckups did.

Stable time loops, mang. They be cray-cray.
 
Incidentally: Johnny C. Bad.

If Chuck Berry made “Johnny B. Goode” a hit because he heard Marty Mcfly playing it during his time traveling from the future, than who was the original creator of the lyrics and melody?

I don’t like the Matrix movies but I am fully willing to watch the entire trilogy, one after another, with no breaks in between or even a bathroom break just to hear Hugo Weaving say “cookies need love like everything does. Thank the good lord for Youtube.

Been there, done that.

I need a better way to use my free time.

Berserk fans just want Kantaro Miura to stop fucking playing Love Live.

@Dragonpone  
You have now felt the fear of every Berserk fan ever.

Whenever a series runs for a while without ending I get anxious that the team behind it will die before it’s finished and I’ll never know the ending.
 
_{Probably not the best to have that be my main worry if someone dies…}

It’s been 15 years and I JUST NOW realized that Seto Kaiba’s name is a reference to the Egyptian god Set.

That’s probably one of the most underrated parts of the movie.
 
…that and Grant’s role as babysitter. Forget “clever girl,” Mr. I-don’t-like-kids’ “But that’s not what I’m going to do” is my favorite line.

true love story. ;.;

Can I just take a moment to mention what a brilliant moment of exposition the Mr. DNA cartoon in Jurassic Park is?
 
Aside from being all colorful, bouncy, and edutaning, it’s awesome because it clearly fleshes out the means by which the dinosaurs are generated for the park, but isn’t told by a character explaining it to the leads, or something. It’s told through a part of the setting, and just as much helps flesh out the feeling of being inside an amusement park; it makes us feel like the guests would when they’re in the park for the first time.

Posted this a while back in the Pokemon thread, but:
 
Man, what IS it with the villainous organizations in the Pokemon series and their mutual obsession with warp panels? Every villainous organization in the franchise has them in at least one of their bases.

well keep in mind the part where I said that, absolute isn’t truly absolute, at least it doesn’t correlate with our nature as humans, there is always going to be more or some things we’ll not be well prepared for.  
What I’m simply explaining here is what mindset I’m going to face it all with.
 
I guess it is weak but hey, we’re all only human after all and that’s a fact we have to accept. Take it from history, humans a much longer time ago barely had working television and had better living conditions as far as income was involved, but humans long before that, the ones of the dark ages, well, let’s just say our worst conditions still fare a lot better than theirs did.  
and yet, even with this digital wonder and so many things that we have not just simply available to us, but so easily available too, we still take most of it for granted and I can attest doing the same.. we can’t appreciate everything equally, but we should be aware of just how far we’ve come along.
 
see, I don’t wanna break apart from this human history and evolution process that we’ve all been a part of, I know it sounds amazing, but reality is something you can’t really take lightly, this is why I’m simply saying that this is the mindset with which I’m happy to face all these challenges of life with, it’s what feels most right for me to do. As for being at peace with myself, I simply don’t worry about that too much, not in ways that I just can’t simply control, like my future 20 years from now in life.. that’s a little far for me to be thinking about things, as well as 60-80 years from now when I might die. so, I don’t really care about any of that.
 
there’s pensions, there’s still your house, family that you can start, or become a part of someone else’s family (divorced/widow spouse) and other things for that, but right now I got a life to live.
 
 
but even then, one last thing I’ll mention I guess about risk is this, I did take my fair share of risks, one major one being me going into another country for university education. An awful big risk for someone who has to find a place to stay there and also know the language of said country too, not the best choice if it doesn’t work out and I get completely overwhelmed by the things I gotta handle in those few years, but it did eventually work out, it was difficult and, probably for the first time ever, I’ve been very happy with that decision.
 
I hadn’t been the most brilliant student there, I’ll say that much, but I’ve learned a lot about another country’s studying scheme and system, I’ve learned about the industry I wanna embark on and I’ve started to develop skills in a certain career path that I intend to take on, which is really more than I can say for any college or middle school education here I had on those things, now finally, it’s at that point where I either do something about it or just fall like a dumbass and waste it all.. after which I’ll have to pick up with another thing immediately, else I’ll just fuck myself for life, or struggle a lot to gain footing, which is probably what I’ll intend on doing one way or the other.

We have a religion thread.

@archestereo  
do we have a philosophy thread  
we should get a philosophy thread

@toxicitzi
 
…I sorta see where you’re coming from; I could even somewhat agree that conducting one’s life in such a manner would be pragmatic for the most part.
 
…but I don’t think it actually addresses the problem we’re discussing. No matter how well I live my life, it’s not like I’ll be thinking “good thing I lived life well, that makes what I’m going through right now entirely okay”; that’s like saying that a gluttonous binge will prepare you for an eternal fast. If you asked them, many people wouldn’t even remember what they had for breakfast that day.
 
…if what you’re trying to say is that this is the way we can gain closure and closure is the only need we can entirely satisfy, thus the closest thing we could have to legitimate peace of mind on our death bed, then, well, not that I won’t take what I can get, but even that seems kinda weak; it still seems like you would need some sort of sense of permanence to get full closure.

Dude is technically genderless.  
Also yes.

@AppleJackFrost  
You DO know that I have a fetish for guys with long hair right?
