Every time I brush my teeth I have to remember to do it (this is not automatic, all my toothbrush stuff is set up as a visual cue any time I'm near the sink), focus on my task as I go to the bathroom so I don't forget why I went there, remember to take my medicine first so that I don't have to swallow them after brushing my teeth, floss, and brush.

Right, but as soon as you have a device that conveniently reduces a risk to a positive/negative signal, you introduced liability.

This tech won't just die, it will be intentionally killed.

Very cool and useful.

Now watch it fade into oblivion because everyone is DoNe WiTH CoViD

Are these traits of aspergers, too? Asking for ... reasons.

To be fair, that's a poor example, as the research on ME/CFS is dogshit. It never gets the attention it deserves and its victims suffer in deafening silence, because it's not some sexy field to research and there's no immediate, highly visible threat to the almighty economy.

We're seeing this mirrored with long COVID. At least 16 million Americans are suffering from it — nearly 1 in 20 — and, even with rates that enormously high, research is moving at a glacial pace. There's no operation warp speed, no coordinated global effort, nobody in world leadership gives a fuck.

You owe me a new shirt for the coffee stains I just spat all over mine

My daily reddit use has dropped by an order of magnitude. Now I just subscribe to a few subreddit RSS feeds that I skim through once a day, and that's pretty much it. If I really feel compelled to post something, I'll begrudgingly grab my laptop and head to old.reddit ... we'll see how long that lasts.

That's less "hot take" and more "correctly assessed."

Ell Oh Fucking Ell. What is even the point of reddit anymore?

ActiveX

That started happening to me as well.

But why, specifically, is the term "Sealioning"? Is it referencing some behavior exhibited by sealions? Is it an aggregate of or wordplay on other slang?

Tim Cook can suck a fat one.

Not only that, but their insane demand may not even be possible to comply with unless the user has been active semi-recently.

Remember when Google's official motto was "don't do evil?"

Apparently, they don't.

"We even put some nice areas of brown, patchy grass! And look, there's even a shrub!"
