  • That sounds awful. I dunno. I mean, at the heart of it all, on some level you’re allowing him to continue this behavior by going to him each time. If you don’t go, he has to either keep calling until you give in, or if you don’t give in, he can get pouty about it, yell about it, or eventually come and actually find you.

    If you stand your ground and refuse, eventually he has to change his behavior. But, getting to that point will be very uncomfortable. So the question is, how much do you want things to change? Are you willing to go through that discomfort to get your needs met?








  • The youngest of the patients at Alcor is two-year-old Matheryn Naovaratpong, a Thai girl with brain cancer, who was cryopreserved in 2015, reports Reuters.

    “Both her parents were doctors, and she had multiple brain surgeries,” More tells the publication. “Nothing worked, unfortunately. So, they contacted us.”

    This is a bit chilling. How do you begin to move on with your lifeif you’re holding out hope that your loved one will be revived one day? What happens to this girl’s body once her parents die? What happens if they beat the odds and master cryo and the girl gets revived in 100 years? That sounds incredibly traumatic.







  • I find myself making fun of the engineering, but I think it’s a defense mechanism. I’ve had a pretty strong interest in the Titanic since I was a kid, and if I were offered the opportunity to see it, I think I’d be more likely to go. And it’s scary to think I’d end up on a vessel that wasn’t designed to do the thing it advertised it can.

    How much did the people who went actually know about the sub they were on? How common is it to sign a waiver about dying to go on a commercial sub?

    It’s easy to laugh with hindsight, but it’s scary to think what could have happened if I were in the position to choose to go.
