I've been led to believe kids in China are too busy working in sweatshops to be overusing screens.

Edit: Apparently I needed to add a /s.

Persevere.

Just let your GP know. I recently got a blood test done to figure out what I've been immunised against. Highly recommend.

I befriended a lawyer in a online game years ago. When he found out I took the bible literally, we had debates about it, and he'd break down some of the passages in Revelations and try to get me to justify stuff like dragons. It opened my eyes to how ridiculous some things were, and how there was a reason one of the first things we were taught (Baptist) was not to question anything.

How it seems every religion believes they're the "One True" religion, and the whole rest of the world is wrong. How throughout history, it's fueled wars, and been used as a method to control people more than a way to help people.

How some priests garb themselves in expensive robes and surround themselves with gold or drive luxury cars, or preach on TV from practically a stadium while passing around the donations plate through a crowd of poor people while promising a afterlife gated by pearls.

I'll stop here but yeah. It was actually a pretty devastating realisation for me, as religion was a huge part of my life up to that point.

I'm seeing Queen Elizabeth I.

Really good read, incredibly unsatisfying ending.

Recommend actually clicking and watching the vid of the surgeon speaking. The tldr bot does not convey the absolute horrors that this man witnessed.

I love these types of games, and I've tried to get into it multiple times... But everything feels like it's on such a strict timer. I just want to chill and farm/explore/talk to people without worrying if I spent too much time enjoying myself doing any one particular thing. If it had some kind of sandbox mode or if you could slow down the time, I'd give it another go.

AI doctors are probably going to be a thing whether we want them or not, one way or another in the near future. I don't think it'll be going away. https://health.google/health-research/

I'm kinda surprised to see them training them one at a time. That's going to take ages. "OK, Roger has been successfully intimidated by the nightmare puppet. Looks like Brenda is next in line, someone bring in Brenda."

Time to go buy some more shag carpet.
