LOL. But to be fair, Will was a poacher sentenced to the Wall, so I wouldn’t necessarily expect him to know much about plant biology or be able to do Punnett squares and understand recessive genes like Ned Stark did. - Victor Ganata

Yeah, while I can see the monstrous lurking misogyny in Snape's backstory, as a guy who was inculcated by the patriarchy and who is still in the process of being deprogrammed, I still find some parts of Snape relatable. In my headcanon, Snape isn't somehow trying to redeem himself to his quasinecrophiliac idealization of Lily, he's simply realized that he's committed unforgivable atrocities in the name of a misguided sense of sexual entitlement, that now he's totally doomed anyway, and so he's trying to do the best he can achieve with the total shambles he's made of his life. - Victor Ganata

I could go with that more if he hadn't been such an immature ass when he really needed to be more of a grownup than Harry. I kinda like that he's not a good person, or romantic really, but that it doesn't mean that he has to be all murdery or support people who are. It sets you up for the reveal about Dumbledore, and how Draco turns out. It seems more like a real set of people to me. - Jennifer Dittrich

I think that's kind of what I found real about him, in that while he had achieved a fatalistic form of enlightenment in certain parts of his life, there were some things which he was still very regressive about. - Victor Ganata

American medicine prior to state regulation was basically the demesne of unscrupulous people willing to let you die from untreated disease as you took expensive useless "cures" that made them lots of money. - Victor Ganata

I realize that there are lots of people who would argue that nothing has really changed since, but, I gotta say, penicillin is a hell of a drug. - Victor Ganata

But why didn't the Invisible Hand sort out the quacks and con men from the real doctors? - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

If it weren't for the meddling government…. ;) - Victor Ganata

"The word 'toxic' has a meaning, and that is 'having the effect of a poison.' Anything can be poisonous depending on the dose. Enough water can even be poisonous in the right quantity…." - Victor Ganata

"But wait, didn't she say that the Pumpkin Spice Lattes had a toxic dose of sugar at fifty grams in a grande? So why does she endorse Suja when it has forty-two grams of sugar and even comes with a warning on its website that it's not suitable for diabetics?" - Victor Ganata
