I want to see the old hiding behind a newspaper gag replaced with this before its switched out with a qr code to download an app.

Soon it will be a qr code that leads you to a website that shows you ads recommendations new medication, and fingerprints your device to sell the data of how often you take etc medication to insurers and anyone else willing to pay.
There will be even more text stating about how you can’t sue them if you od and that you agreed to the terms by opening taking the medication.
Hmm, that’s too optimistic now that I think about it. The qr code will actually take you to an app store.

I saved a lot of money by taking the brakes off my car, that was a wastefle expense and perpetuated the lie that cars are complicated systems that sometimes need to do tasks like decelerate – this is woke.
There is no way removing my car’s brakes will lead to higher expenses at anypoint in the future.

I think neem oil smells like fried onions. But I also like durian and matsutake so maybe i’m an outlier.

I think the collective we in use here is for anyone that thinks privacy is important.
Also, gamers are now competing with governments for GPUs so that’s gunna suck.

I of the idea of not buying new tech ever again, with some exceptions on use case and rarity.
Instead, i’m a proponent of only buying 2nd hand or business surplus.
These companies don’t deserve our money, and the average use case doesn’t require the latest and greatest.

Sadly, a matching 401k became the standard corporate retirement package over a pension.
However, you do still have a choice of what to invest in, even with a 401k.
- Comment on Have you noticed the new way of promoting horrible food by telling you it has lots of protein 4 weeks ago:
I’m not sure where you think I’m saying you should eat candy bars. You’re projecting someone else’s opinion on my comment. I didn’t say those things.
Firstly, there’s not a single reason that people are obese. And secondly being at a goal weight doesn’t mean that you are either healthy or fit.
If one is to substitute known unhealthy things for possibly harmful things instead of improving their life in general, that’s like giving up cigarettes for vaping in my opinion. Artificial sweeteners could be causing massive harm in ways that are less obvious and harder to pin on diet, but for me, I don’t eat them because they taste terrible. I’d rather not eat sweets as often and have treats made from less refined, more natural ingredients than to eat things with artificial sweeteners and protein packed in for the sake of marketing.
Your accusations of me being judgemental and toxic are interesting, but I’m not going to take the bait. I don’t owe you an explanation of my nuanced opinion outside of the few reasons I’ve already listed.

I think the jury is still out on artificial sweeteners.

I think anyone that thinks eating something that tastes like a candy bar can be healthy is lying to themselves. I also think there are issues introduced when you are absorbing refined highly processed nutrients. Issues that might seem unrelated but can affect your health more long term.
Your body isn’t just a machine that you can add the correct mixture of things to for proper maintenance. It’s messy system that is biological dependent on evolutionary history, and there’s a lot of unknowns that have yet to be studied at all.

I think this is also true for investing in war companies (its the department of war now, so no need to keep up the defense charade), even if it’s just part of an index fund or ETF.
- Comment on Have you noticed the new way of promoting horrible food by telling you it has lots of protein 4 weeks ago:
No whey.
But, have you ever considered how much protein your body should have in a meal? Eating too much protein can also be malnutrition. To your point it’s better to have too much protein than too much fat. However if it tastes like it’s full of corn syrup, it probably still is. Or some “healthy” artificial sweetener which your body thinks is the same yet is still empty carbohydrates.

That is fair, however sometimes people use functionally illiterate in both conditions, some I was trying to match that as closely as possible.
I like these terms, but nothing makes it specific to the spoken word. These terms could theoretically be used instead of functionally illiterate.

Inability to express themselves is not a part of it, just comprehension.
