I think you need to study a little more clinical psychology before you make that judgement. That is absolutely a common response of a mature mind. Perhaps not an enlightened mind, but most adults I encounter are not very enlightened.

A Taste of Blackberries

After all, who is terrified about the loss of a parent and needs a fantasy response to that event?

Don't even need to go that far back. An American Tail was an immigration story aimed at children, which while it had goofy characters, was pretty serious in its overall arc. Even Looney Tunes, before it was stupefied was pretty dark and violent.

Yep, required reading at my grade school. We were asked to write whether we would want to live forever after reading the book. I think I was the only one who said no, because everyone I know would die and it would be boring.

The only thing impeding movies these days are so-called "creative directors" who make the central character and plot nearly identical for every movie they can.

They do, and they are pretty dark by the end. Also, I didn't start reading Harry Potter until my mid twenties, and I waited in line until midnight for the last two book releases. I didn't see the first film until the third one was out and I was babysitting a friend's children. That movie sold me.

The company I work for does it pretty effectively by requiring a personality tests developed specifically for the company and based on the personalities of those that are already in the specific departments. It's amazing how many people that eliminates. I've taken it while applying for a promotion from within, and I…

No, the SAT is entirely bullshit when you take into account who it prevents from entering the field. I would not want to work for a company that used that metric in its decisions, as use of that metric is a great indicator of other poor metrics the company will use to conduct business.

It could be. That's why it's important to ask your doctor questions.

I don't know what legal basis they would have to request them or deny a position in the first place. I think that, like requesting to copy your SS card, this probably isn't exactly legal or necessary.

Then the proper response is "I don't feel that how I scored on a racially biased test when I was 16 years old is relevant to this job. Regardless of my score, I don't feel comfortable working for a company that relies on something as inconsequential and unreliable as an indicator of intelligence as the SAT."
If it's…

Perhaps the doctors understanding is that stress reduces your immunity to H. Pylori bacteria that exist in the gut, and when your immunity drops, the H. Pylori use the opportunity.

What the actual fuck are you talking about? Homeopathy may not be appropriate for serious illness, but you pulled that description straight out of your ass based on chelation. And while it's something I know little about, I do know it's not about diluting poison. Arsenic is a metal, and chelation is used to remove…

Unless you are going to die elsewise, hospitals are best avoided as they are a great place to get sick.

I was about to say, don't forget nosocomial infections. Forget the fellow patients, staff hygiene in hospitals leaves a lot to be desired.

By nearly 9x? I think if it cost that in US dollars, there are much more affordable non-GoPro options. Unless the person just likes wasting money, I find it hard to believe. Now, there is the possibility that it's not a GoPro.

Right? If it's a GoPro, the top price is $399.

When I read the original article, it seemed that ignoring some early warnings was his fatal mistake. He thought he was safe, so the warnings he got, he ignored at first.

Not true. Your phone could be cloned, as difficult as that may be.
