Yes, and this Firefox things was not serious when it was called Phoenix. And meditation ? Hippie crap. Ah, this fasting stuff is dangerous grandma shenanigans.

The question is - does meditation make your life better in the same ratio that bleach enemas and black tar treatments for cancer make your life worse?
