I still don't see how Watterson doing nothing is harmful or hypocritical. He felt like he didn't have anything more to give. He refused to put out something less than his standards. While I'm sad he never found anything worth

I kind of had the opposite reaction to the same effect- I was exposed around 10 years old to pornographic images (Playboy) and also read the articles about sex. I wanted it far earlier than I was ready for but I felt like it had a positive

I thought it was the immune system that betrayed type 1 diabetics, not the pancreas. I recall the leading theory (at least used to be) that insulin producing cells had the bad luck to look like a cold virus or some other malicious infection

I do wish there were better alternatives for each and every app in the CC. The only one that's competently matched is Premiere. Pixelmator is good, but Mac/OSX only. It also doesn't have adjustment layers, meaning that if I w
