I had a really good Aspire c. 2007; it was well above specs on all my games for a good year, year and a half, and only really became obsolete around 2012. It still works, too, although these days I only use it for music software and piracy.

I'm typing this on a Gateway laptop that's running off Mint.. probably the best laptop I've ever had! No problemo mon!

Tapeworms also eat up any valuable nutrients leaving you more than famished: they leave you drained of energy and essential sustenance, while pumping waste in your system. Not quite symbiotic.

There were "tapeworm pills" way back in the day (whether they contained such in reality is anyone's guess now) for that exact proposal but I'm guessing it wasn't too effective, simply on the basis that if they were there'd be a patent on them now and they'd be available for sale at every drug store if they were.

I dunno, the people I knew seemed just fine.. it's true that they were super thin and seemingly ate all the time, but they didn't seem inhibited or unable to do things like long walks or hikes, swim etc. which I'd assume anorexia and bulimia does cause. Then one day, they just poop it out! It's definitely not anything I'd want in my body, knowingly or unknowingly but it seems safer than this.
