There are countless of things that can be hiding in your genes, they can't test everyone for everything. Breast cancer just gets a lot of attention, that's all. There is for instance a type of colon cancer that's genetic too, but since that's not sexy, ppl aren't as worried about that. What about Huntington's disease,…
I'm waiting for people to start pointing out here that 90 minutes of exercise a day is crazy. Look, some of us like to work out and really like being in shape. My mom worked out 90 minutes a day for the vast majority of my childhood and I probably get near it too. I find it sad that people don't blink at watching…
I believe she's stated she had a treadmill/desk setup — which is within reach of anyone who works from home and makes a solid annual salary.
They don't test ppl without a history of cancer because they "feel better" when they get a negative result, but it's a false sense of security they feel. Out of 100 women with breast cancer, 95 will NOT have the defective gene. No testing could have predicted their cancer. A positive result is useful because you can…
I wonder about this. No one says its barbaric to remove someone's uterus, gall bladder or appendix, for a variety of reasons. But people say its barbaric to remove breasts. Breasts are outside of the body, and are aesthetically attractive, yet after breast feeding, they do not have a real purpose.
Yeah, I think about this often. I mean—you do what you have to do, absolutely no judgment, but it seems to me that we will look back on this course of treatment as completely barbaric. Really? Removing body parts? That's the best we can do?
Real talk: I was raped at this school, many years ago now. I dropped out not long afterward. I never once considered reporting it - the culture of victim-blaming was that high. People stereotype the U of C as a nerdy, virgin-filled school, and the nerd part definitely has a bit of truth. But the frats there are…
they know. they just don't care.
Did you have a traumatic experience with someone swearing at you? I have a more traumatic one so yours is irrelevant.
I am reading the words you said, and I assure you I am perfectly calm. You are seriously creating a competition of emotions and declaring yourself the winner because you have the most traumatic story. So if a person who had been inside one of the towers spoke with you, by your example, you would have to shut the fuck…
Wow you have the best "claim" to 9/11? Congratulations, you're the winner of the Most Legitimate Victim award. What an insane way to look at an event. "No, you guys, you don't get to have an opinion on it because I have the best story and nobody can top it!" Really, that's just ridiculous.
Enjoy your victimhood, friend. I promise, other people having their own unique experiences with tragedy in no way minimizes yours. You're still a victim. You're still allowed to grieve in the way you need to. But in the same way that you are allowed that courtesy, so are the other people who experienced it, too. You…
I'm sorry your reading comprehension skills are not up to par, but allow me to try again using smaller words.
That's part of the problem. Nobody's saying they experienced the same things you did, but in your zeal to be all "YOU'RE NOT A REAL VICTIM I AM A REAL VICTIM" you've glossed over that entirely. You're saying that people can't talk to you about what happened on 9/11 because they weren't as much of a victim as you are.…
I have exactly two thoughts about this:
Also, how sad that this other girl who was sexually assaulted is so bought into our victim-blaming culture that she can't feel empathy for someone else in the same situation and at least back off. Victims of SA should be able to support each other, but it's really hard sometimes, especially for teens who are…
I'm entertained by Winnipeg finally making international mention because it's actually colder than Mars.
Yo, that same polar vortex that's attacking the US is in Canada as well. Shitty weather doesn't magically stop at the border. Only differences are that here it's EVEN COLDER and nothing is cancelled or closed. I have never had a snow day in my life. Yeah, I'm bitter.
But the point is that being 37 is not an advantage. Guys like Silva are the exception, and it's part of why people are so consistently impressed with him.
