Eh, I should be shocked by how creepy Cosby is but somehow I’m not. His treatment of Lisa Bonet always seemed....cold and peculiar. His “dad” act on The Cosby Show always seemed over the top, too jokey and too goofy to be real, even for a family sitcom. It grated on my nerves. “Uncle Phil” from Fresh Prince seemed…

Because the effects of the hormones are localized, many people do not experience hormonal symptoms. Life on the pill was misery for me. It turned me into monster. I feel nothing with Mirena, and I no longer have periods. It vastly improved my life!

Hate to say and be a bit off-topic but this is not the first time a Jezebel author defended something terrible.

Glad to see she views exposing harassment of women and misogyny in an industry the same as outing a closeted man with a family, who refused to use his influence unethically, even in the face of blackmail. That’s fucking terrible and she should be ashamed of herself.

You are such a smug asshole. You obviously have no empathy or understanding of addiction or awareness that there are millions of other people on this planet that have life experiences that are completely different than yours. The fact that you are telling other people to grow the fuck up is embarrassing.

Wow. What you’re writing on this page is seriously embarrassing me, as a fellow 4th year medical student and to-be colleague in the field. Your level of condescension is so stereotypically Pretentious Crunchy Californian, so Limo Liberal, it hurts. You keep repeating how “you’re from California and no one you know…

You’re never going to force someone to quit unless they want to. It’s like that for anything a person is addicted to. Reasoning is useless. For people who want to quit, everyone I know who has tried Chantix (I think that’s how it’s spelled) was successful.

Obviously you can get very sick and suffer from different terrible diseases because of smoking. But I have several older relatives who had been smoking for 50+ years, what killed them was mainly dementia. The only older relative who died of cancer got it from asbestos exposure. My grandma never smoked a day in her…

The problem is you don’t understand the people who do smoke and that’s why your approach is only going to make people annoyed by you. Everyone knows it’s bad. You repeating it over and over doesn’t change anything. You should try to find out why people smoke, and then go from there. I smoke in social situations…

yeah California likes to act like they don’t like smoking. But as soon as someone has had a few drinks they start bumming off of people. It’s like all of California is a social smoker.

Jesus. Your comments on this post have seriously devolved. You started off being empathetic and seeming to genuinely care, but that’s gone out the window.
I mean this in the nicest way, like really: take a break. Walk away. Come back when you’re less upset, because you’re not going to reach a single person talking this…

If this is any indication of how you talk to people, you are going to be a HORRIBLE doctor.

You fascinate me. Do you not have any vices at all?

Again, you need to find a better approach. Thanks, bye.

So do you walk around asking people why on earth they’re still drinking soda and eating chicken wings in 2015?

Thank you for the first part of this response! It was informative and nicely put. But after reading the end of your comment, and some of the others you’ve posted in reply to people, you really need to cut down on the condescension. You have no idea what led me to start smoking, you don’t know what my socioeconomic…

so your identity is based on judging people apparently - yes, I’m sure the place you live in is not an “actual place” and no one around you is an “actual person” with an “actual brain.” you are so goddamn full of yourself - get a grip.

But eating too much will give you hyperthyroidism!

You have no idea what you’re talking about. Read up on addiction and don’t be a dick.

shut up. i assume you’re perfect.
