The number of medical ‘professionals’ who just automatically dismiss possible connections like this is utterly depressing. I’m sure they must hear plenty of crackpot theories, but that’s no excuse for failing to help people who can be helpe

Yup, I have older relatives who are exactly like this and they ALL have a 24/7 news channel almost constantly playing on TV. It’s an utterly toxic diet of fear-mongering and negativity that cripples anyone who gets addicted to it.

A bit tangential, but 'Leicester' is one of those wonderful British place-names that doesn't really follow any English pronunciation rules and you just have to know the right one... In this case 'Leicester' is prono

Yeah, the content took a HARD turn to the left in the last few years. I don't remember it being anywhere near as political even as recently as 5yrs ago. That suggests either a dramatic change in audience, or some algorithmic change tha

“when you say cities didn't always have more services than small towns and that life in a city wasn't that bad if you were poor” Pretty sure they said the exact opposite of that. “small towns suck because they lack services and bi

“we realize we have no magic in our minds” Surely an AI is a digital replica (and homage) of that magic? Without the magic in our minds we could’ve never created that replica. To me it’s an acknowledgement of how awesome our own brains are

This while a certain energy company is reporting its "highest profits in 115 years"[1]. It's sickening to see the brutal efficiency with which the poor are made poorer while the 1% continue to line their pockets. [1] https:&

"have startups stopped using Invision?" Speaking as a designer, Invision has never felt like a serious design tool and they've had a constant struggle to find their place in the market. Invision started life as a prototyping
