<sarcasm mode="on">What are you talking about, 'team'? It is one guy, and he never sleeps or eats, only uploads high quality video game rips</sarcasm>

Anyway, the LazyTown memes were bleh, I don't see why so many people like them. It's only really that grandayy guy and a few others who still carry on this dead 'trend'. And this is coming from a meme hipster who usually only likes memes once there dead...

At age 42, Stefansson, known most notably for playing Robbie Rotten in Lazy Town, notified the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service, that no longer has liver cancer after going through two surgeries.

I forgot to mention in my last post, that I'm still happy for him to have survived cancer. I wasn't being mean-hearted or anything, just commenting on the memes themselves.

Cancer is hell no matter who you are. Congrats to him. I hope we find a way to make cancer a thing of the past.

I have read a few sci fi books that mention a few characters getting cancer at one point or another and being treated rather painlessly. Its nice to think that even though the books are fiction, someday we might think about cancer as a minor issue that plagued the 21st century.

If anyone cares, I know one book was the Night's Dawn Trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton, and I think the other was maybe Halo: Evolutions?

Nice optimism you have there bortz, and yeah I hope cancer can be treated more easily and happen much less in the future. :)
Maybe one day we will find a way, even if it takes us many years.

    It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.

    Issue is it's too rich of a coperation already with bad sugar diets causing diabetes and killing teeth a new set of teeth around 90k
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.
    Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority.

    @K3Nv2 that's crazily expensive. how long will that take to pay off?

    Although diet is largely education, people don't need to go to university to learn what's healthy and what's not,
    it's the whole country, big corporations and advertising that is to blame for leading most of the population to believe that poptarts and froot loops are healthy to feed a child
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i would think the population knows better but with food deserts and abject poverty, sometimes a poptart gonna have to do.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    As someone who went through the grade school system in the US some time within the past 30 or so years, not nearly enough is done to promote and educate on how to eat healthy in a way that is feasible to do on a regular basis and also affordable. Eating healthy is, comparatively, fucking expensive. So is eating unhealthy, but in many cases eating unhealthy is more affordable than eating healthy
