Hopefully it's the least worst option!
I know it's not really my place to say this but if it does turn out to be glandular fever/mono/Epstein Barr I'd suggest you get a second opinion on whether to use steroids during the acute phase of a viral infection (unless it's just a throat spray or inhaler or something like that).
Homeopapes are definitely a thing. News agreggators, RSS feeds and customizable news like Reuters, and things like pocket being able to send to ereaders.
Alias phone is not some exciting tech unfortunately. I just have another phone that has a number and email account of its own that get used for signups. It's on casual prepay and is associated with its own human name and online accounts. It's kind of like I have an invisible flatmate who likes things like fuel cards and free streaming services.
Hopefully we will soon have glasses you can buy that use AI to block out adds within our vision
If we get that I want the They Live plugin!!
I meant that more as a workaround!
Ah yes the nonsensical myth that the number of lazy people (so insanely lazy that they prefer to live below minimum wage) magically grows and shrinks in tandem with the economy and changes to the elasticity of the labour market ...without being in any way related to it.
Oh no, easypeel are the best. Sudden childhood flashback to my mum having to demonstrate to me that actually no a sausage roll is not hard crusted dried meat all the way through, only the bits that stick out the ends. 🤦♂️
Yep tangelo, still going crazy, so is the mandarin. I was going to cut some fruit for the birds and post a photo friday PSA about feeding windfalls to waxeyes and tui but got too caught up in mundane paperwork. Citrus is great though isn't it, comes along at the perfect time!
When it ends will be the best time for pruning too, to repay the tree with a bit of tlc.
Hmm maybe you need a triple shot?
Pretty sure Philip K Dick predicted it in the 60s but I can't remember which book or story. I sometimes worry that we make things because he predicted them, but I do like the homeopapes.
Yeah I'm in a similar boat, I don't watch broadcast tv or listen to the radio unless someone makes me, I have ad blockers and tracker blockers, my loyalty cards are all signed up to an alias and its alias phone.
Now that we don't have a cat to spoil, I don't think I'm anyone's preferred target market though, except maybe some low level grifters!
I guess in the absence of data it will default to what advertising always defaults to, i.e penis enlargement.
Yes, it coming sooner than expected was, as this article said, "WTH" and a sign of things to come not being all that great. Austerity is more or less proven to not work, it's frustrating to see it being wheeled out again especially in the form of public sector job losses.
Google algorithms pounce on vulnerable people, billboards could do the same.
Not looking forward to the dystopia where one minute I'm admiring a picturesque landscape in a New Caledonia holiday ad and the next minute it sees me and hastily changes to an ad for cheap chocolate from The Warehouse.
Late to the party but thanks for posting this, really interesting article. I think we are likely to find ourselves in a situation where govt comes under intense pressure by corporate lobbying over this.
Glad you got some sleep! I'm not a doctor and obviously they know best. I was mostly thinking about how part of the way anti-inflammatory steroids work their magic is by dampening down the immune system.
