Random Thoughts

[Ahriman]

Life has undertaken a tremendous effort to make me happy. My friends are (or at least appear to be) genuine. I've been deliriously happy with the same woman for more than twenty years. I have two cars (paid for), but I prefer to walk when I can. Why is this happening? If I didn't know any better, I'd say there was some vast conspiracy of people all getting together to make sure my life works out.

Hey, that's similar to what I said, just the opposite.

Anti-vaxxers don't believe in the cause of death from anything other than vaccines.

Probably because they believe their god wouldn’t kill them with something it created.

There are two types of cases where you shouldn’t help a baby bird that’s fallen out of its nest. The first is when it has most of its feathers, because it’s a fledgling that’s jumped out of the nest of its own accord and its mother is probably not too far away. The second is if it’s this little guy:



Because fuck him.

This is a cuckoo chick. Its egg was laid in a nest made by another bird. Within a few hours of hatching, it has almost certainly systematically destroyed any and all rivals for its surrogate mother’s care. If they haven’t hatched yet, it will heft the eggs over the nest, destroying any chance for them to live. If they have, they’ll heft the hatchlings over the nest. While I haven’t actually seen it, some commenters appear to have seen the remains of a dead broodmate. And it looks like this time, he’s fallen prematurely from the nest and he has only himself to blame.

After all this, time, I wonder how close OJ is to finding the real killer...

Ooh, I didn't even notice some of these, like the lack of of an l in cancelled, and I see defence spelled both ways so I'm never really sure which it's supposed to be. But for the last one, in the UK we use both; you have a computer program and a television programme.

Maybe I’m British - I spell half of the words on that list the way they do. lol

The list leaves out my fave - aluminium vs aluminum.

Me too, and I'm starting to... especially using z's instead of s's... and sometimes just as a concession really, like dropping the ue at the end of dialogue or analogue.

I’ve always thought canceled was spelled with two “L’s.”

Maybe we need therapy.
