Smoking and drinking enough to affect your appearance can lead to cancer and cirrhosis. Both of those conditions are worse than wrinkles.
Oh for fuck's sake, would you guys please give it a rest? She wasn't running fucking wind sprints for days at a time, she was walking on a treadmill. Lots of people walk all day at work. Do you guys all want to pile on my mailman? He walks all day too. My son's teacher has a yoga ball instead of a desk chair. Can I…
she is implying that positive thinking got her out of it
If anyone who was planning to donate to pancreatic cancer research has decided not to because of this ad, they're the worst kind of asshole.
You're right. This is actually a somewhat popular sentiment in the oncology community; it's just rarely ever vocalized. When a patient receives a cancer diagnosis it is devastating. When a patient receives a cancer diagnosis and the oncologist says there there are a multitude of treatment algorithms that can be…
Thank you, I hate when police officers commit crimes while on duty; and the only punishment is losing their jobs instead of being prosecuted by the court.
Ah, American is such an amazing melting pot of all different ethnicity's and culture's inherent intolerant, insular racism!
Wait, I thought Brown people were for fun, and Princeton people were for settling?
Never adjust your life to meet one's parents desires. If they love you then they'll accept your choices, and if they ostracize you, well, they didn't love you more than they love themselves.
I have a (white) friend who dated an Indian man. She ended the relationship when she found out she was just for fun before he married an Indian woman. She learned that another friend she was interested in would date her and sleep with her, sure, but when it was time for him to get married, he would leave her for a…
What a world we live in, where we feel compelled to thank a magazine for not being discriminatory.
Reposting another version because, though this is a very salient point, it is only here because the article focused on a small and limited slice of Male Contraception, ie the one available in pill form.
I love Hermione, she was intelligent and passionate. But people here seem to be forgetting her flaws. She has the ones you pointed out, and sometimes her drive and passion decreased her compassion. She often seemed to feel that her opinions and beliefs were the only "right" ones to hold. I think she needed Ron, or…
For what it's worth I always thought the subtext of Snape was an undisclosed relationship with Lily. He was prepared to follow Voldemort, he fits the Death Eater persona to a T. Something powerful changed his mind and that could only be love. I don't get the stalker thing. He was an awkward, anti-social teenager…
It can be argued he did it out of his own moral realisation. After all, he had nothing to gain anymore - and he was suicidal when Dumbledore talked him into spying for him. He literally didn't want to live anymore. Yet he agrees and it's very clear what an enormous effort it is for him just to keep on living every…
Snape/Lily is fantastic. He finds something to love in his miserable life and completely fucks it up. He then spends his entire life trying to undo the monstrous damage he's done, effectively working in vain and knowing it, but slogging on ahead because he can't forgive himself, forced by his own choice to face what…
Not exactly lazy, it's just that he only had time for things he's passionate about. He worked at Quidditch, being a Prefect, and DADA. Not caring about school but caring about other things fits a more laid back personality to me. And he wasn't a coward- he wouldn't have done half the things he did in the books if he…
