They don't just not work, they are highly dangerous in any position other than upright. I sure hope it explodes to teach that dumbass a lesson.

It was a joke from a "far side" comic strip. It doesn't really exist.

Windscryer you are the one who has been brainwashed. Brainwashed by the sea of feminist ramblings on tumblr. You are not intelligent, you are just a child. To get to the point, whether you like the truth or not, breasts are highly sexual. You know what else is sexual, hips. These are classed as secondary sexual characteristics designed to signal to a male that they are indeed fertile, post-pubertal and capable of bearing a child. The higher the levels of oestrogen a female has, the greater the difference between her hip size and waist size; also the larger her breasts. This is why large breasted women are historically viewed as more attractive, because it signifies greater ability to produce healthy offspring and the ability to breatsfeed them for at least a year after birth. Breasts became sexual indicators when apes evolved to bipedal (two-legged) locomotion since the bottom was no longer so much on display, whereas the breasts were on display. Science beats bullshit.

That would only work if they lost 50% of their members. The stock price doesn't go down every time someone closes their account. A better idea would be to find a serious flaw in the design, or find that they sell people's data to companies or something like that. Then the price would dip.

....... To answer your question, you will not know it when you meet them, because that is not how it works. You have to get to know someone, and then you can begin the process of changing yourself to suit them, while they change to suit you. Don't expect to never change, that is naive. Changing for someone you love is also not a sign of weakness, it is called compromise. Now stop feeling sorry for yourself, that is not attractive to anyone. Also don't get involved with someone who says they really want to help you get better, that is not a healthy relationship. They will get bored once you do get better; plus you will be a different person by that time too.

Anyone can develop schizophrenia under the right circumstances, although I doubt this is what you wanted to hear. All these illnesses have something in common, improper membrane channel functioning in the nerve cells, making levels of certain chemicals either too high, or too low in certain parts of the brain. Depressed people can still fall in love too. In fact depression can lead to falling in love more easily as they chase the dopamine high they experience when they are around certain people. Although this makes it like an addiction for them. To address your final inaccuracy, you assume that there is a person for everyone and this person is constant. This is not true. Depending on how you feel at the time you meet someone, that person could become the love of your life, or just another person you walk past on the street. There are millions of people who would be a perfect partner to you, not just one. It is also not their responsibility to be the perfect person for you.

The levels are actually very similar in most people, ill or not. This difference is whether they are present in the synapse or in the nerve cell itself. Cocaine for example will cause a surge in all of these chemicals into the synapse, but does not create any more of the chemicals, which is why there is such a massive comedown from drug highs. In depression, the chemicals are too rapidly absorbed back into the cells, which is why most anti-depressants are designed to keep the synapse levels high by blocking reabsorption into the nerve cells.

.... is very similar to schizophrenia in symptomatic presentation and biochemical signature. High levels of glutamate, dopamine and kyneurin in the wrong parts of the brain lead to difficulty in maintaining concentration. Difficulty in maintaining concentration and restlessness is also a diagnostic indicator for most cases of depression, although this is not known by most people because it seems counter-intuitive.

Funny thing is that it probably wasn't real. When we fall asleep and wake up from sleep we enter a period of hynopompic/hynagogic brain activity. This can result in visual hallucinations. The most common hallucination is of spiders. The hallucinations can vary in size and movement, but one thing that is consistent is the realism. They may last from a few seconds to minutes before completely disappearing. When people get very tired, they can also get these spider hallucinations. This has happened to me many times. It is completely normal, just a bit unsettling if you don't know what is happening. The more you know.
