Never in my life have I found these totally generic advice collations useful. They're always vague, unfalsifiable, borderline platitudes. They "work" for the same reasons horoscopes work, and I think a sizable minority, if no

How anyone can continue to place so much faith into dogmatic science, after the global and nearly universal failure of these same institutions to properly prepare for and handle covid, is beyond me. This post is pure fear porn. Environmenta

Everything remotely related to adware is just gross. It's hard to believe that after 10 years of this nothing has changed and the tricks are as dirty as ever. Totally unethical industry and I can't wait for the bubble to collapse.
