To be able to write what Beethoven did, and the amount of it, I would say he had this ability too. Can't really say that wanting to hear better while he played is a sign that he di…

The prognosis for depression is excellent when the right help is given. It's a shame on humanity that the prognosis is poor. I was, what I thought, a special case of depressed. No …

Even for "some innocent stuff like Tylenol", as the original comment puts it, you do not want to be taking 5x the dose. This is a very harmful drug in (not very) large quantities. …

Irony is dead. Let them have a go at Chinese censorship while removing posts not beginning "thank you kind sir for your opinions".

Your police shoot unarmed black people and your president defends them. Free world my ass.
