Quote from: E. Gadd Industries on March 13, 2016, 02:30:28 PM3/13/16 Panglossian (adj.)- marked by the view that all is for the best in this best of possible worlds: excessively optimistic

This is where I draw the line for optimism. I mean, sure, I love being around positive people (and am one myself), but this is just too much. I would even go so far as to say suspicious... <.<  >.>
Apparently, this word references Voltaire's novel Candide; one of the characters (Dr. Pangloss) is the example optimist that is known for stating a quote that the definition contains nods to. ("All is for the best in this best of possible worlds")

That's super-interesting and I actually really like that definition. (It makes me happy.)

...Really though. Don't let them take it away from you. That desire for something more, for adventure... for destiny. Don't let them turn it against you, either.

Well, if you liked that definition, you'll probably like this one as well!:
3/15/16 Hamartia (n.)- a flaw in character that brings about the downfall of the hero of a tragedy: tragic flaw

...Currently, my head is swimming (no pun intended) from my programming course, so I can't think of any examples offhand.

Why Do I think of Sans when I read this?
When given the choice between adulting and music, choose music every time.

How to succeed in internet:
Step 1: Slip the phrase "(no pun intended)" into a sentence with no pun in it.
Step 2: Sit back and watch the madness.

Braixen is a wonderful [insert gender] with beautiful [corresponding gender trait] and is just the darlingest at [stereotypical activity typically associated with said gender] you ever saw.

Noc's is a good example
The pun was currently, swimming... :/
Anyhoo,
3/16/16 Amalgamate (v.)- to unite in or as if in a mixture of elements; especially: to merge into a single body
The only thing I can think of is a silver-mercury amalgamation, but that's just what I remember from World History from the Potosi silver mine in South America, during the time of the mit'a and encomienda labor systems.

Remember this word as you watch the Undertale playthrough E. Gadd.....Don't forget it...
 Undertale Spoilers. NO PEEKING E. GADD!!!
This definition is really accurate. It describes what the Amalgamates in the True Lab are perfectly. Monsters that have merged into a single body.

I was wondering why an Undertale reference wasn't the first thing to come to mind, but I forgot that it's Brainy and not you who's played Undertale to completion.

Wow. I'm really surprised Brainy hasn't convinced you to watch it sooner.

E. Gadd Industries

Oh, believe me, he tried. A lot. I eventually found that it wasn't worth it to keep resisting, else I would become perturbed, and he, well, it's hard to say what would happen to him. XD But if you're wanting me to keep it in mind, why did you say no peeking, Brainy? And I suppose I'll understand the reference later on, huh?
