If the changes that we fear be thus irresistible, what remains but to acquiesce with silence, as in the other insurmountable distresses of humanity?

To make my meal in a box taste better, I decided to tweak the logo, rather than the ingredients.

Apparently even the most awful tragedies, and the people they'd ruined, got a little stale after a while. ↗
