Good news: at this time, they're not intelligent nor conscious as far as we consider humans to be. There should be folks considering the ethical and moral quandaries that COULD POTENTIALLY come about in the future, but it's not so

Lexapro, noted in the article, was literally life changing for me. I felt better within 3d and I notice severe issues if I miss ~3d of doses in a row, even though the half-life should support ~7d without according to my physician. That said

You have a worldview that’s incompatible with the reality of the current US legal system where things work the way you believe they should, rather than the way they actually do. Morality and direct commonsense interpretations of law do not

It’s $1800; they are applying trade-in and some sort of GoogleFi discount to get it down to $1100. Nearly $2000 after tax for a phone is fucking absurd.
