Do we know if these are mainly developing in the USA or elsewhere in the world? The USA actually restricts antibiotics by requiring prescriptions. Other countries that seem to have a greater variety of pathogens don't always apply the same restrictions, which can lead to more widespread use, which could increase pathogen resistance. Maybe some of these resistant strains are imported. I guess there's no way to know.

Uh oh, you said something logical and true. Prepare for the downvoting ...

The report also offers some good news: The CDC determined that the bacteria Clostridioides difficile, or "C. diff," which causes diarrhea and inflammation of the colon and can be deadly, is causing fewer cases year over year. The agency downgraded it to a serious threat, whereas it was categorized as urgent in the prior version of the report, which came out in 2019.

But ... but ... doom? Gloom? Invincible bacteria??

... badum ching. And hurry up with figuring out geoengineering, going nuclear, figuring out mass carbon sequestration, etc.

Or ... we could just keep bleating and blaming (over a worldwide network of powered computers in data centers, no less, lol).

I know the latter is more emotionally satisfying, but if you really care about the temperature, then I suggest a shift of focus to the former.

I expect a lot of these game companies to change to a system where:

1) You pay for a yearly contract to play ANY of their games.

2) Despite them having only one or two games that people want to play, in addition to 8+ crappy games that no reasonable person would pay to play.

This allows them to screw over people in a manner similar to what they do now.

You do know that you wouldn't have to sign up for such a scheme, right? There's no gun to your head?
