Adverts and adware as we see them now would have been considered 'spyware' 15/20 years ago. It's worth re-watching the IT Crowd scenes where someone's got ads all over their computer and they don't see the prob

Additionally it's another feedback loop: Wealth makes people physically attractive. Posture, retinol creams, tailored clothes, and a good hair cut can do a lot to transform someone's life.

I've been using this the last while and it's shocking. Can't help but think a lot of the trackers would have been considered spyware 15 years or so ago.

Here in the UK we had supervisor/management positions trying it on for 0 hour contracts and minimum wage for months, although they seem to have gotten the message now they're having to literally shut their doors because they can&#

A really interesting article but in this instance I'm not convinced it's the app that's the problem. Dehumanisation has been around forever and fluctuates depending on wider societal factors.

Are you able to expand this a bit? It is difficult to follow the logic

I mean yeah but the point is to not get infected in the first place right?

Debenhams near me had their staff on min wage 0 hour contracts, which on top of being morally dubious meant they weren't able to afford to buy anything from Debenhams and clearly no one had invested in their training so they didn'

Worrying, nonetheless I am suspicious of why this message is being pushed again just as subreddits have banded together to speak out against anti-vax propaganda.

Sometimes you get a weak moment that you didn't plan for. I think a lot of us are/will be experiencing this sort of thing post-pandemic; you quit x y or z in lockdown environment but can you keep it up once life gets more chaotic

To use a very clunky metaphor I suppose it's like the difference between gun crime and knife crime.

Yeah it's like, social media has you thinking there are literally only two or three overarching positions you can hold but in real life things are more nuanced. I know a lot of EU immigrants and anti-fascists who voted for Brexit, raci

It's like, managers don't realise a sizable amount of us are just looking for the least shit working conditions. They do the simple sums of how much they'll immediately save by essentially asset stripping the office and not t

What is it about non-prestigious rural colleges? They all have this attitude problem. My first read of your comment I thought you were talking about the one I live near but I'm not that naive

I'm not but almost did for a while. It wasn't that the return was the issue, more like a catalyst - I prefer office working (my commute is a 5 - 15 minute walk) but one of my work colleagues is an absolute predator and a few are v

Yeah I started spending loads of time at home where I have control over my environment and found I didn't have to contantly turn to media for escapism any more. And because I'm not oversaturated with content any more I'm able

Currently: 1. I can't handle one of my work colleagues who is an awful awful man and instead of powering through it like I used to I've become borderline phobic of going into the office at all ever. Also because everyone else is w

Hey mate yeah I don't wanna go too specific but in addition to what the other commenter said, caffiene can be a massive problem for people with certain neurology problems. This is because of the sort of things the other commenter was s

goddam. Out of the multitude of reasons to get off Facebook, the one that actually did it for me was that I couldn't handle the messaging app but there's no way to disable it. No end to work group chats, messages from creepy colle

Caffiene. I used to be one of these people whose personalities were all about how much coffee they drank and then suddenly I discovered my life was at risk if I didn't urgently cut it out and bam. That was that. Had success cutting out

Listen mate. I had a tinder profile for a bit too. I would have looked like one of those well rounded people but my life was a mess. I learnt it was the same for most other people with tinder profiles. When I finished school aged 16 (UK) th

Such a stupid move even from a pure business point of view. People who can fork out $3k for a treadmill (as well as have the space and time to use it) are people who are in a good position to defend themselves from this sort of bullshit

If I recall correctly it's only the last decade things haven't been fragemented in the way the article describes - ie I remember there being a UK Google seperate from a .com Google. That actually seemed to perform better as a sear
