A drug that promotes weight loss, lessens the desire to smoke, drink, etc...sounds too good to be true? From what I have heard, all of these issues come back as soon as someone comes off the drug. So either a person is committing to a lifet

I just got Verizon home internet for 25$ a month, and they offer 200$ back if you stay on the service for 6 months(I am also on their phone service so that may be why the price is cheaper?).

Come on, that link is from 11 years ago. It says only 8% end up with jobs 10 years later in their field of study . There is no evidence presented as to the actual causation. This is a particularly funny quote given the times we live in now
