Why wouldn't there be profit in a cure, at least for the more common types of cancer?
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Suzi, there would totally be profit in a cure. But "cancer" is super complex and even any given type ("breast", "lung") is so different and everyone responds differently to different things. They'd charge an arm and a leg for it (see cure for Hep C) but if we were able to find a cure, they'd totally do that.

How is Mom doing, Epic?
About as well as can be expected, I think. Still in pain, but they had her up walking today, so hopefully improving.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Sending ~ma for your mom, Epic.

move out and draw fire
So people...I don't know what to do with this, if anything. P-C is back, and one of his stories is up on Galaxy's Edge.
It's his ita story.
I hate that he's making bank off a relationship that didn't really exist, but it's not like I can go to the editor and be all "he's lying." That's in part because it's fiction, duh, and in part because the editor is a Sad Puppy supporter, of the "why are women even AT cons if not to be raped?" type.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Ugh. Just take comfort in knowing that people who lie down with dogs get fleas?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Also, judging by a quick Twitter search, people noticed, and they have not forgotten.

And they hate his story.

I can't figure out how Twitter search works .. I'd like to see the comments people are making.
