Can't we all just get along?

Apples and oranges, man, apples and oranges.

Some apples are apples. Some oranges are oranges.

Then ya got apples that feel like they're oranges, and they wanna be called oranges.

Then ya got oranges that feel like they're apples, and they wanna be called apples.

Then ya got apples that like being apples, but like looking like oranges, and they still wanna be called apples.

And then ya got oranges that like being oranges, but like looking like apples, and they still wanna be called oranges.

And then ya got oranges that like apples, but they wanna be loo--uh, damn I kinda fergot where I was going there. Lost my train of thought.

This shit is confusing.

And I didn't get tot he confusing part yet.

Left apples, right apples, left-leaning right apples, transgender-alt-right lefties, are those the oranges? Fuck, I can't tell anymore.

CIS oranges.

And apricots. Maaan, fuck a bunch o' apricots.

Explains why some so fear GM crops. People fear what they don't understand.

If you think that's confusing, you should see what's been happening with cardinals. It gives another meaning to apples and oranges.

Woman Spots A Rare Half-Female, Half-Male Cardinal In Her Yard

One needn't really be a bird expert to tell the difference between male and female cardinals — their distinct physical appearances usually make it pretty clear. ...

Males of the species sport brilliant crimson plumage, while females don more subdued brownish yellow feathers. …

… This little cardinal had a split coat.
Half the bird appeared male, and the other half female. ...

Caldwell is a birdwatching enthusiast who has done her homework. Based on her past research, she was able to identify the unusual visitor as a "bilateral gynandromorph" — an organism which has split-sex characteristics, making the cardinal essentially both male and female.

The phenomena can be found in a variety of insects, crustaceans and birds. …

It's not exactly clear how often this occurs in animals capable of gynandromorphism, as some split-sex bodies are not so easy to notice. Given cardinals' sexual dimorphism, however, it's not easy to miss. ...

Why fear creatures with big noses? Is it too reminiscent of a lawyer?

General statements like this are easy to disprove.

People don't know how their phones work, and they love their phones.

People understand cancer, and they fear it too.

I think ppl misclassify 'fear' a lot of times.

Little tiny tubes and pipes, right?

Yeah, for phone calls, but for texts it's tiny bicycle messengers.

For longer distances it's tiny homing pigeons.

That's why my texts take so long to get where they are going.

It takes lots of pigeons to deliver so many data packets required for each TCP/IP message.

The pigeon industry is alive and well.

And they're prolly up to something.

What happens as bandwidth increases? The skies are black with birds. And the ground is white with their exhausts. Both will solve global warming.
