Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(Okay, I shouldn't assume you are pro-tomato-as-veggie. But I will.)

I totally am!

Fruit and veg are not mutually exclusive. The definition of vegetable includes "a plant cultivated for an edible part." So, you know, fuck you for being so binary.

NICE.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

is it the seeds on the inside that make it a fruit?

Yes. Just like a cucumber, which people are much less agitated about for some reason. Is the green thing that big a deal?

I just read this article on why people won't buy the best product, and learnt the term for what Fences is doing to me--trying to leverage the endowment effect. But, fuck you Fences. Version 2 might cost money, BUT I DON'T HAVE VERSION 2. So stop nagging me to buy it. Version 1 was free when I downloaded it, and I am only going to be nagged into uninstalling it, not into buying the most recent version.

Then what in sweet hell is a banana?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Genetically engineered over multiple generations not to have seeds, but still fruit.

Fruit are plant eggs more or less. Seeds surrounded by fleshy/sugary bits.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Delicious and unnatural? I would go with "eunuch fruit"

Wait, now I'm confused. A cucumber is a fruit? Are there other not-sweet fruits?

I am amused at the thought of a trans tomato.

Re: unemployment. Be sure you document everything carefully and I recommend faxing things to them if requested, because then you can have a fax confirmation sheet. It's that or certified mail, I guess. I'd prefer email but they didn't offer it, and they claimed to have not gotten shit from me when requested (and would thus be allowed to take back the money) but I had proof I'd sent it.

Bananas have vestigial seeds. You can see where they would have been, had they been required for anything over the years.

I boggle at how ugly some of zulily's stuff is, yet any time I visit I have to talk myself out of grabbing something. How many people do you think looked at this [link] and thought they needed to look that way (can you see images without being logged in?)? See how the cut of the pant removes both the appearance of knees and ankles! All those messy joints gone!

I really need to know how well this stuff is selling before they get their hands on it.
