Orchids are also named after testicles, from the Greek ‘orkhis’.

Haibane Renmei is an absolute masterpiece, but it will mess you up if you're not in a good frame of mind in the first place. It gets pretty intense pretty quickly towards the end.
That's what she said?

Yep, white will save you almost every time. Gotta question the intelligence of someone choosing to fight with police in riot gear... They have freakin' helmets with face shields on. What are you going to do to them? Bite their kneecaps?
I care about the real facts. The real facts are that US cops are inexcusably brutal and they are TRAINED to be. That means that ALL cops are bad cops. Not all cops are racist or corrupt. Not all cops are bad people. But all cops are bad cops. Not all cops are equally bad, but none are good cops.
John Winkler wasn't a criminal. He didn't fight the police when they talked to him. Hell, they didn't even give him a chance to talk. They just murdered him. Why? Because he was running away from a guy with a knife. Akai Gurley was murdered after opening a door in a stair well. He wasn't running. He wasn't…
The police in the UK arrest, on average, about 1 million people each year and they kill, on average, less than 1 person per year (They've killed 52 people in the last 100 years. US police doubled that last month alone). And criminals aren't running scott free. In fact, there is about 16% less crime in the UK and…
Each and every time that a tiger has told me to step away from the vehicle and put my hands on my head, I have complied.
I agree with you for the most part, but if it weren't racial, you'd see about 1100 white people killed during the same period. Black people are only 12% of the population. They shouldn't account for 40% of the police killings.
Yet another reason to have mandatory body cams and make termination mandatory for not having it on during a stop.
Yes, it is. In America, running from or struggling with a cop is a death sentence. It's not right, but it's the way it is. Cops need to be treated like wild animals. They are dangerous and unpredictable. You have to comply with all orders, regardless of legality. You have to announce all movements prior to…
You're right that the police are effectively terrorists. But this:
So, yeah... Thieves are scum and I want to bash their heads in with The Club.
That being said, I love that this kind of stuff exists. Some subversive has developed and ‘distributed’ a device that the experts can’t figure out. I wish it were being used to cure cancer or free cats from trees rather than break into cars,…
I worded that poorly. I meant that the average person couldn’t name more than 3 incidents in 70 years of nuclear power. Even with all of the instances, it is still much safer than conventional power plants. It is POTENTIALLY more dangerous, but the potential danger is greatly mitigated by proper design.. And even the…
Nuclear is actually the safest form of power generation out there. Chernobyl and Fukushima stand out in the minds of people because they cause dead zones around the accidents, but if you ask people about accidents, they might also be able to name Three Mile Island if their old enough... But 3 incidents in 70+ years…
With the dressing on the side thing, you have to be careful because you almost always get about twice as much dressing on the side as they normally put on the salad. A cool trick is to dip you fork in the dressing before each bite rather than pouring the dressing on. You still get a little dressing flavor, but it…
My name is Humpty, pronounced with a Umpty.
Yo ladies, oh how I like to funk thee.
And all the rappers in the top ten-please allow me to bump thee.
“Before I came on stage tonight, they told me to lay off the sexist jokes. Yeah, I get it. Chicks can’t take it.”
Look, if I'm gonna die anyway, I might as well die happy. I'm not giving up my glyphosate baths or my radium toothpaste (it makes my teeth positively glow!)
Yeah, I can dig that. Maybe I'm just risk averse? Unless the cost of avoiding the substance outweighs the potential benefit, 'probably carcinogenic' is enough motivation for me to change my behavior.
