  • Effectively, as an advertiser, you can pay for some info on someone you have the option to show an ad to.

    They'll tell you things like "they are in their 40s and love anime and shopped at target recently"

    The worst part is that typically, when you get hyper-specific enough, you can make unidentified info identifiable.

    "Male, muslim, just got married, works as a plumber, late 20s, lives in this part of this city, has this device" and then paired with "has this IP" (narrows down to the block or house)

    Also the US government buys the same info via shell companies.

  • Netflix was the only one I ever really had, since the aughts. I am using Jellyfin now 🏴‍☠️ There are easier platforms, though, like popcorn time. A good VPN is a much better investment than some random streaming platform that maybe has 1 or 3 shows I actually care about watching.

  • I failed my first time. I panicked and forgot how to parallel park. I think I spent the next month or so practicing and took it again. I don't think I've heard of people failing so frequently - so I'm not sure about that fail policy

  • whoa, cool study. Never heard of this before, but it makes sense. I do still think ADHD brains process dopamine/seratonin differently - maybe that makes more or most things "hygiene factors", where a neurotypical would have them more as a "motivator"?

    The common "oh I accomplished this, but it rather than elation, I just feel relief", and if you don't accomplish the stress of it being unmet
