You slide to the ground behind the bed, gasping for breath while also trying to be silent. You crawl under the bed, hidden in the deep shadows and dust. His ghostly light moves down the hallway, the pale glow dimming with each ragged inhale through the fingers clasped tightly over your mouth.

You exhale a sigh of relief and crawl out. Dusting yourself off, your eye catches the old vanity mirror against the wall. Your face is gaunt and skeletal. The Doctor is standing directly behind you. "Please state the nature of your medical emergency," he starts to say, the final words cut off by your echoing screams.

This is why you should never allow your terminal to execute news headlines directly. You're definitely going to want to sandbox your RSS autoexecutor.

Maggie Mae Fish has a video on this topic comparing, in fact, Rob Schneider's parody of comedy to Tim Heidecker's satire of conservative comedy.

I agree with the general sentiment, I don't think friendship is lesser, but I'd like to see an example of a healthy romance that doesn't involve friendship.

The trigger for that is epigenetic, that is, it's caused by genes but they aren't always active. There's a "blocker" molecule on the DNA that prevents those sections from being used for making proteins. When certain things change in the environment, you can gain or lose those blocker molecules.

One of them controls fat storage, and activates during starvation to encourage your body to hold onto any nutrients it can get. Because it is genetic though, it's inheritable. So if any of your parents or grandparents went through a famine or a time of starvation, the epigenetic marker could have been removed and you inherit that missing marker, causing your body to store fat more than other people who have the marker still.
