I'm looking forward to this. I actually found the Squid Game Challenge gameshow to be more entertaining than the actual Squid Game drama.

They're saying 'the issue isn't social media in and of itself; it's what's *on* the social media, what's being done *through* social media that's the problem.'

If everybody's feeds were nothing but affirmations, positive stories, and CBT tips and tricks, social media use would probably have much better mental health outcomes.

Unfortunately, it's full of hate, impossible physical standards being sold as 'I drink a thimble of lemon water after every meal' and negative content specifically designed to drive engagement.

"Study finds weak evidence linking being shot in the heart multiple times to fatal outcomes."

Yeah, being shot in the heart *once* does it for you.

Once you hit a certain social media threshold, it doesn't matter if you're over that threshold by five minutes a day or five hours a day.

Wasn't implying you were a curmudgeon or anything. I've often dreamed of how nice living alone would be. A bathroom that I could actually get into...sigh. I love my wife and daughter but...sigh.

Taking Ivermectin for parasites is an excellent treatment.

Taking it for cancer is, in fact, crankpot.

You can't even say 'well, it's safer than Tylenol, so it doesn't hurt you.' In this case, it *does* hurt you, because the longer cancer goes untreated, the more likely it is to kill you.

When there's proven treatments, and you decide to try de-worming treatment with zero medical basis, you are, in fact, doing harm.

Do they pay taxes ? If yes then goto maybe people...

Just short circuit the service and call your friends now and then...
I'm old but I don't live alone, though the urge is sometimes overwhelming...

It's always fun when well-known actors are willing to make fun of themselves. (also in this camp - Jon Voight's and Raquel Welsh's appearances on Seinfeld).

On the other hand, it's sad when a perfectly 'fine' actor gets so badly typecast that all they can do for the rest of their career is make fun of themselves.

The Batman: The Animated Series episode 'Grey Ghost' was the only one that actually treated West and his Batman history with respect and dignity.

So, how to get motivated to work out when the depression's got you by the yarballs?

Life requires effort, film at 11.

" But as a columnist writing about how to keep our humanity in the 21st century, I believe it's important to focus on people who are at least trying..."
  ...to what ? jam AI in places no human wants ?! These jackholes aren't out for any human except themselves.

you can pull out edge, onedrive and a whole mess of other stuff via winget. But copilot is not one of those...

I have to admit, I was expecting an argument, not 'ha ha yeah, I'm putting myself and everybody around me on the road in real, literal, danger of death every time I drive after sundown lol yolo.'

In other words, sorry, you shouldn't be driving.

I think it would be just heatpump, as in hospital.

LOL that might just do it.
