Thank you... awful song is awful! How it won a prestigious award is a mystery to me.

One of the worst details to come out of this of how clear it is doctors literally do not talk to each other. OMG. DeeDee took advantage of the fact that medical records are a paperwork nightmare. Every time they saw a doctor was a new opportunity to make up a story usually more elaborate and contradictory than the…

The Academy is full of a metric ton of “wait...whut?” wins. I’m still bitter that freaking Slumdog Millionaire won the same year it was up against Frost/ Nixon, Milk, and The Wrestler.

I felt faint at an hour long meeting this morning where we had to stand.

He also at the same time was fasting from water for long periods of time as well (BECAUSE WTF) and I wouldn’t be surprised if time slowing down also meant ‘I no longer have enough water to run my krebs cycles my brain is mush’. 

hate to tell you, but he should worry. My sister had a patient come in with, I think it was a stroke or some heart problem (I can’t remember so this story is terrible), perfectly healthy 32 year old. The only thing the doctor could think cause it was the Keto diet that he had been doing.

Yeah...fasting before surgery so the anathesia works as expected and you don’t die is very different than fasting for 22 hours so you can counter act your shit diet the rest of the time...

Exactly. Their brains, whether consciously or not, are eyeing the finish line when there will be food. 

Yes, your health so far as to having a successful test where you don’t potentially choke on your own vomit mid procedure, or any other variety of things that could happen with a gut actively digesting food.

If you really think that “self-examination leads to self-improvement,” then you’re better off examining why big tech companies collude to drive down wages (Apple and Google), abuse the visa process (Facebook and everyone else), contract with companies in China who commit egregious human rights violations to build your…

Only a really rich person would voluntarily not eat for hours and then talk about how much time they have without framing it around meals. #bye

22 hours without any food? I would want to punch someone, but not have the energy. Even in my eating disorder days I spread my few calories out throughout the day.

Ah yes, another entry in the eternal story of “when women do it, it’s frivolous and stupid, when men do it, they’re changing the world.”  Also, another entry into “tech-bros pretend they invented something that people have been doing for thousands of years.”  These people exhaust me.

Lololz @ “time slowing down.”

Realistically they can do chemical castration, but offenders will just shift to using objects instead because it is as always about power, not sex.

“Christ ugh igh ugh Mandy Moore ick. The thought of her sticking her tongue down that filthy hatch. I might as well go watch Hostel. Smelly ass, ick. I LOATHE that guy.”

I didn’t learn until like decades later than she did it because she was routinely abused.  All I knew at the time was the “crazy bitch” narrative that she randomly cut of her husband’s penis.  Goes to show what the media cared about.

This! I’m 25 and all I knew about Lorena Bobbitt was jokes about her being crazy and cutting a guy’s dick off. It’s wild how much of this case was stripped away

22! I forgot (never realized?) how young she was. I’m also not sure if I ever knew she was an immigrant, and how that was weaponized against her - so much vulnerability. My heart aches for her.

I was still in elementary school when this happened, so the only memories I have of it from the time are those of the jokes and punchlines, of a woman so crazy to have done something like this. And that’s all I really understood of it well into my adulthood.
