I would give my left nut to not have to go through chemo
Literally
I'm not following this logic. Making any sort of physical change to yourself can make you feel extremely self-conscious. Making a physical change that involves the surgical removal of a physical part of your body is going to have a pretty extreme effect on most folk regardless of whether they share that experience with a famous actress.
Neither is a double mastectomy. A lot of cancer treatment can be rough (but not always, it all depends) but a double mastectomy would be among the more extreme treatments if you actually had breast cancer, and usually requires hormone therapy and the like.
I get her mom died of cancer (ovarian not breast) in her 50s. A parent dying of cancer sucks. My father died of cancer last year at a similar age to what Jolie would have been and it sucks. But that doesn't mean I considered cutting my liver out. My family also has a history of colon cancer so we have to do the colonoscopy thing earlier which sucks but is better than ... well I guess you can't cut out your colon so much.
I'm not saying she doesn't have the right to do it. Its just ... wow I would not have made that choice

well to my mind balls and boobs are apples and oranges, the direct female comparision is ovaries obviously
you lose your boobs it has the regular suck of losing any body part, but with the silver lining that you can have the form cosmeticly replaced if not the function and no one will know until they get a close enough look at them to see surgery scars
with balls, thats a very very major part of what it is to be a man, like we were talking about yesterday, without them your body starts thinking it's a woman
there would be deep deep psycological tramua involved in losing your biological manhood for a cis-gendered male

Yeah but I mean...
It's the difference between being terrified and being terrified and alone. Knowing someone else has gone through similar stuff, and having an actual concrete example instead of abstract knowledge, can make a huge difference in how someone processes such a thing.
Of course it is. That doesn't mean people can't find at least some small amount of courage in the actions of role model.

Good point, I hadn't considered that.
She's 37. I'm sure she can afford some great plastic surgery but the timer was counting down on national treasure status there.
Yeah but you have to put up with everyone everywhere calling them fake, not real, often how they're inferior, etc.
I think breasts are kinda inseparable from femininity, actually. Like in the cultural consciousness. Maybe not as much as testes, but the link is there.
I dunno. Again, realize that I obviously have much more attachment to one than the other, but I don't think the psychological impact of breast loss is very low at all.
Can she stick her decapitated boobs in a museum?
on like @Donkey Kong
after his help last night with cover letter technology, he seems a suitable benchmark for 'on.'
Other than the face, the costume is easy and comfortable
my interweb cuts out intermittently and I can fix it by restarting the modem and router
what is the likely source of this problem and would a new router fix it
I am thinking of getting a new router anyway because this one has shit coverage in my house
You could go as the Dean from Community? I mean you like him enough to have him as your avatar so that seems like a natural fit.

i once saw a show (i think it was one of thos gok wan body image things) where they had a line up of ten women two with implants the rest natural
guess who 80% of people surveyed said has the best looking boobs?
i'm not sure fake boob hate is really a thing unless you go nuts with it ala Katie Price or Pam Anderson
if you keep them outside of cartoon size territory most people won't complain
personally I have very little problem with breats augmentation as long as it was the womans choice to get it
and to be clear i don't think losing your breasts is inconsequential at all, the problem here is men have no direct comparision, for a woman to lose her ovaries or uterus, that would be exactly as painful as a guy losing his balls because they're tired up in the same kind of sense of gender

The new ones use mobile GPUs
so not very good for a desktop
Geth roll 1d4.
1: Work on my second Card Game (Sunset Showdown)
2: Begin work on my unnamed Music tabletop RPG system
3: Begin work on my unnamed over-the-top hitmen RPG Campaign
4: Play Demon's Souls. Possibly shit my pants.

people don't actually do this in real life.
you're not going to get many people mocking you for fake boobs that you got lopped up because of cancer risk.
Also she's so rich her fake boobs will probably be 500% better than real boobs.
You could go as "Lord Voldemort before the whole nose thing happened"
Does it work if you power cycle just one of them? Like, if you just turn the router off then back on does it work again?
sounds like you have a shitty service, modem, or router. If restarting fixes, it's more likely to be the latter two. Are you using the shit rent modem from the cable company? What router do you have?
The new iMacs are like mid-level laptops for gaming. Medium settings (maybe even low for particularly challenging games) if you insist on native res and smooth frame rates. You can probably do high settings for your MMOs, your indies, but that's about it.

I think nexuscrawler has a new top of the line one and said it was pretty bomb
I'd be a little meh about the graphics cards personally
Specifically, Piers Morgan. I don't care what the surgery is, as long as it's major.
Geth's not playing your game anymore.
if anything the surgery will likely keep her in the game a while longer

As a cis-gendered male I think I would be pretty fine with it. I don't feel especially attached to them as I do to say my penis.
Does restarting just the router fix it? What about just the modem?
Assisted suicide?
Surgical addition of a dunce cap and a long nose maybe?
Current Playthroughs: Neverwinter Closed Beta|Let's Build! Sim City
first most likely cause is the wire. do you have DSL or cable?
I don't care much about the balls themselves (and they do make prosthetic balls, don't they?). I'd be much more worried about losing the testosterone.
yeah shit rent modem (god I don't even know what brand -- ambit U10C018 maybe) and the router is the old apple airport that looks like a ufo
