Ok so.
We've had a chronic package thief in our building recently. Usually its a very safe building so this is unusual behavior. They had the misfortune of taking one of my pet food orders (75lbs of mouse food) and apartment management was useless so I took it into my own hands.
See, I have a lot of snakes. So I happen to have things like dead rats just lying around. So I took a little box, decorated with some nice washi tape that made it look like it contained jewelry (crystal motif) and addressed it to a nonexistent unit underneath the name "Bill Zibub" and left it in the lobby. It disappears, as expected.
A few days pass and I smell something bad in the hall.
I go to the lobby and I find my dead rat package, very clearly torn open and hastily wrapped back up, with the rat back in it. But what's better is, it got returned with a BUNCH of other mail. They stole a bunch of shit, opened the rat, decided they had enough and brought all that shit BACK.
I know for a fact that the thief brought them back because they appeared in the lobby late at night way past package delivery time (and if the activity I heard was any indicator, the thief lives on floor 2)
I was thinking the thief might return the rat pack in disgust but I am tickled PINK they brought back other stuff.
This is the best prank I've ever played. It sounds so fake. It feels so scripted. I never in a million years thought they'd actually be inspired to return mail over it. This is gonna be my "then everyone clapped" story for the rest of my life.
Fuck around and find out.
I found a company called “Frantic Meerkat” who makes journals whose sole purpose is to call me out
Learning to cope is all about figuring out how you tick and working around your difficulties.
For example, the hardest part of cooking for me is preparing the ingredients… So to get around that, buy pre chopped and frozen vegetables. Or do it yourself in bulk when you have the spoons for it.
I usually get frozen onions and peppers cause if I buy them fresh, I end up throwing em away. But frozen stuff keeps for much longer.
Another example is that I found myself delaying going out to buy groceries cause putting on socks and shoes is an effort (I know its odd). So now I just wear sandals and so it’s much easier.
It’s the little things that make a difference. And little stuff can add up to living easier.

While Darwin is often credited as the father of the Theory of Evolution, it’d be more precise to say that he was the father of the Theory of Evolution “by Natural Selection”.
Darwin’s genius was not in realizing that animals change over time, but in identifying the mechanisms by which these changes occur.
The idea that animals evolve over generations was proposed by a number of scientists and philosophers in various forms. And today, we will look at Al Jahiz, who proposed the idea some 1000 years before our English naturalist.
