"Why did they train Luke up and not Princess Leia who was cooler, and had more to fight for, and was less screwed up? Patriarchy!"

Does assume Lucas knew they were related in the first movie (he didn’t decide that until later).

Different Sherlock portrayals as cats. Because I can.
House is the uncontrollable crazy cat.
Robert Downey Jr. cat is the flaunting type.
BBC Sherlock is the brooding cat.
Elementary Sherlock is the cuddly one.
Canon Sherlock is an awesome YouTube keyboard cat that Watson is always impressed by.

Today I went to Subway.
There were these 12 year old boys hanging around. As I got my food and left they were all checking me out like little prepubescent lemurs and one of them said “Can I get your number?” And I turned around and said “Why, you need a babysitter?”
you’re my new favorite person

"Finally, the results of the Look Ahead study were published in 2012 with no fanfare because after all the years of treatment and support, the average weight loss was around 7 pounds. “Why? Why?” I ask myself, “Why does the scientific community refuse to admit this approach has failed?” There are a lot of reasons. The so-called obesity experts are still with us. Many of them are in their 80s and 90s, but they don’t dare retire and give up the influence they have on the public and the government. After all, if weight loss is not possible, then they have wasted their entire careers trying to achieve it. Then there is the aspect of “following the money.” What would happen to all of these obesity experts, diet programs, diet products, diet books, and diet gurus if we gave up trying to get people to lose weight?"

Canadians use average of $220,000 in public health care over lifetime
Canadians consume, on average, just over $220,000 in publicly funded health-care services over a lifetime, newly published data show.
Spending is fairly consistent across income groups, despite significant differences in the health status of rich and poor, according to the analysis from the Canadian Institute for Health Information.
People in the lowest-income group have $237,500 in lifetime health costs, compared with $206,000 for the highest-income group. The wealthy live an average of five years longer than the poor. But the wealthy also tend to be healthier, so their lifetime cost to the health-care system tends to be less.

This is interesting… the wealthy tend to be healthier, despite having, for all intents and purposes, equal access to healthcare resources.
Can we now have a discussion about how poverty itself is a chronic disease?
Can we talk about how the stress of NOT closing a deal is NOTHING like the stress of getting evicted.
Fat bodies aren’t ‘lifestyles.’ They’re bodies.
You can’t tell why someone’s fat by looking at them, nor is it any of your concern. Get over it.

I hate to sound all old and shit, but I’m going to.
If you’re not paying for a service, you are the product. It’s the principle behind all online social media. I mean, you don’t think programmers do this shit for free for kicks, do you?
People design this kind of thing to build up a media following (and millions of content volunteers) to do one of two things: Go public (in which case they need to have a reason for people to buy stock in it, i.e. make money) or sell it for a whole bunch of money. Our “Tumblr Daddy” sees you as his ticket to early retirement. Promise.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/dea800114327556af971f5c4b4357985/tumblr_mmyp5zGUn71rh1wv4o1_500.png)
