[QUOTE=WhyNott;47921918]then why do rich people die of cancer too[/QUOTE] So you would be skeptical like you are! Try and throw you off

He may be outdated scientifically, but Charles R. Knight's dinosaur paintings are arguably some of the most important pieces of Paleo-Art that we have
[QUOTE=greeley;47921647]I still think that they have found a cure for cancer but its a brilliant source of income and keeps the population down since we are already stupidly over populated as it is.[/QUOTE] :tinfoil: 20 or so years ago we didnt have a tenth of the drugs we got right now. If cancer were curable, we'd be free of it at this very minute, never mind what big pharma are obviously not doing, and that's withholding a nonexistent panacea for a very tricky to beat illness.
Probably not the place to put this, but I really don't get anti-assault/rape campaigns that use "they were asking for it for what they were wearing" as a selling point. I support ya, but who has seriously used that as an excuse since the 1950s?
[QUOTE=greeley;47921647]I still think that they have found a cure for cancer but its a brilliant source of income and keeps the population down since we are already stupidly over populated as it is.[/QUOTE] 1. "Cancer" is a massive cloud of diseases, all pretty much requiring individual cures afaik. 2. Overpopulation isn't a problem in western countries, in fact, our populations would pretty much all be shrinking were it not for immigration. 3. Wouldn't countries with socialized health care have an interest in keeping costs as low as possible? Countries in the EU tend to be much more strict on what companies can put into products, because having a bunch of sick people isn't good for your budget.

Chemo is generally started only after histology of a tumor specimen, but in late stages empirical treatment is begun first, until the patient is stable enough to plan a definitive cycle of treatment. With that said, palliative measures tend to be more blanketed as pre-made regimens rather than tailor made. Certain classical forms of cancer have pre-tailored regimens that are immediately started as soon as you can identify them though, so it's simpler in such cases, like multiple myeloma.

I honestly don't care that much what subreddits reddit bans. What kinda annoys me about it though is when they write some big fucking blog post about how they're being all moral and shit when really most of the reasons for subreddit bans are: 'we will get sued if we keep it up'; 'it makes us look bad'; and 'we don't like thing.'

Whether it's /r/creepshots, the celebrity nude leaks, or hate subreddits, they'll keep them up until people notice, then act like they're the good guys for taking them down. Bitch, you kept them up for years, you're not good, you're just trying to save face. I was going to say that I think they'd allow child porn if they could, but then I remembered /r/jailbait was a thing for a long time. So yeah, they really have absolutely no morals.
I can't stand Rush. Like I really.. really.. really.. cannot withstand listening to Rush.
Reddit is an OK site Anime is fine
I really think Reddit should just get rid of all those godawful subforums that are about hate and shit even if they don't personally attack or raid other groups or people. People who fap to corpses, or wish for the extermination of x race or group, or are bona fide rapists don't deserve a safe haven.
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;47927760]If there's rapists on Reddit then why aren't authorities fucking clamping down on that honey pot?[/QUOTE] Internet stories aren't exactly the easiest thing to prove true or false. Otherwise, half of 4chan would be arrested.

[QUOTE=joshjet;47928339]It's the singer, isn't it? I fucking hate Geddy Lee.[/QUOTE] It's Neil for me. A stadium-sized drumkit doesn't make you a legendary drummer. Of course I might be biased due to a Freaks & Geeks episode
Neil Peart is good at what he does which is hard-to-the-beat metronome drumming, but the guy can't play with a swing to save his life. I say that as a big (early) Rush fan. I saw him playing Cotton Tail once and it sounded like a drum machine.
At first it was LGBT, which is fine, then it became LGBTQ, okay, then LGBTQ+ now it's LGBTQIP+ Out of risk of sounding like an evil straight CIS oppressor, the acronym thing is going too far
Valve's fanbase is devolving into the level of "I'll buy anything if it's shiny and made by [del]Apple[/del]Valve".

I'd sure as hell prick my ears to anything the "Non-heteronormative Alliance" has to say. Shit sounds important.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;47929519]As a Canadian, I think Rush is overrated. Everyone I have ever talked to in person who knows about Rush goes on and on about how good Rush is like it's the second coming of Christ. "You want variety? Rush IS variety." You have no idea how many times I've heard that fucking quote before a long car ride. I like the band, but idk I find the fans to be really annoying tbh.[/QUOTE] I went to a Rush concert I believe my 13th birthday and I only went because I like the song Tom Sawyer
The deficit isn't bad and there is also nothing wrong with having a national debt.

being attracted to abnormal things is normal. I think that's what I mean to say.
