Oh, and also we breed like crazy so a few of us getting snuffed is no big deal in the grand scheme of things. And we have this weird thing where we get pissed even if you make trouble for someone relatively unrelated - someone who happens to live in the same area, or whose ancestors did something for our ancestors a couple centuries ago, for example - that pissing off even a single one of us can get you into a huge amount of trouble. Doubly so because we tend to carry grudges for a long time and have a surprising tendency to fight with irrational persistence and dedication, even including a willingness for self-sacrifice.

We're scary-ass motherfuckers, is what I'm saying.

Well, I guess that what I meant was that most living beings in general are just fragile. It would be nice if we were able to reanimate ourself on death.

I want to play Deus Ex. However, there are a large number of graphical bugs with Deus Ex on modern Windows that make it unplayable IMHO. For example, a fan-made DX10 patch appears to add some sort of weird light-adjustment feature, which is REALLY annoying.

three days and three nights with very disturbed sleep and nightmares.

I am usually not that affected by nightmares, but it seems I am having a lot of anxiety about something.

Can't make the Wifi work at a Panera for some reason.

Got it working.  Somehow.

Humans are  silly apes. Humans insisting on human awesomenness are silly apes putting on airs.

One of my favourite (possibly the favourite) shows just revealed a whole bunch of merch for sale.
Stuff like badges, mugs, shirts, posters... all of it is awesome. But I can't afford to buy any of it this fortnight!

Humans aren't fragile at all. I'd start going into details on what deformations, injuries, and general trauma we're able to withstand and recover from, but I don't want to make people throw up and/or lose faith in humanity once and for all.

But look at this, for example. One note though: What they call 'pursuit predation' really is called 'persistence hunting'.

"Funny, isn't it? The human was impervious to our most powerful magnetic fields, yet in the end he succumbed to a harmless sharpened stick!"

Did the sharpened stick kill him, or is he just going to yank it out and come back in a few weeks with body armour? Also, how many friends does he have? Lots? I'm betting lots.

I think my social life went wrong somewhere along the way.
Oh well.

All this talk about humans being crazy powerful aliens reminds me of this story (and the sequel), where we basically pull the craziest plan and convince everyone else that we are the most horrific beings in the galaxy.

Ooh, is that the stuff about The Veil? It sounds like it from the intro of the second one.

The "Veil of Madness"? Yeah, those are the ones.

[Egan_BW]

Huh. Didn't know there was a sequel. Time to READREADREAD.

Removed. There used to be a link to an archived greentext thing from 4chan here but there was some pretty NSFW stuff further down I didn't notice. If anyone actually clicked the link they must've either not seen it either or not been bothered, but I don't wanna just leave it here.
