Funnily enough, the current Reddit Consensus (tm) about Pao is that she was basically the fall-guy (gal?) CEO. They bring her in, she makes a whole bunch of changes, user shit-storm happens, they fire her, bring back the old CEO, users rejoice, and in their giddy joy, they conveniently fail to notice that the new…

The skin is an organ, it is composed of cells which carries self-identifying markers and DNA that are different from those of the host—thus the immune system considers it as a foreign threat that needs to be destroyed.

No, you are thinking of Acute Autistic CancerAIDs (AACA).

As a male, I got it as a part of a clinical trial* (back when it was not covered for men). Which I thought was pretty cool.

I think nerds and STEM grads who like the show do it because it gives them a certain comfort because, hey, at least they are way more functional that those nitwits.

We made a vaccine against Cancer.
