> they’ll take the subscription AND sell your data, serve you ads

Streaming services claiming prior art here.


I just remembered there’s a black mirror episode about this. The paid subscription evolution by a “health tech” startup let’s say.

I won’t give away the plot, but it’s so realistically absurd it’s sad, hilarious and terrifying all at once.


For those who might want to watch it, the episode is called "Common People", and it's a pretty brutal one.

I was just watching that episode literally now and had to nope out of it halfway through because it was making me sick to my stomach.

Sounds like my Amazon Prime subscription - now with more Ads.

Too young to remember cable TV?

cable TV would like to have a word with you :)

oh didn't know about this one, will have to try

Even on the "milder" Methylphenidate you can experince clenching jaw, grinding teeth and a chafed tongue when consuming coffee, tea and even dark chocolate.


While methylphenidate is considered milder, I always experienced come up as much more aggressive. And coffee interaction was just crazy.

Once drank alcohol free champagne, while adjusting meds. I was on 27mg Concerta - long release methylphenidate. It turned out to be too much for me. But, oh boy, when i realized that the champagne was alcohol free, but white tea based - had to leave the birthday party I was at and just walk off the coming panic attack. Compared to that - coffee on lisdex will either just feel a little speedy and then give slight tiredness, or (and I don't understand why and when) give an effect comparable to high dose of methylphenidate - wired and cut of my feelings.

This "cut off feelings" state was why I chose lisdex instead. Not because I was cut off after coffee, but because being cut off of feelings was a regular side effect of methylphenidate for me.

But it's all super personal and case by case. Especially people that also have autism spectrum traits, should be aware that stimulants can work strong on them. So don't suggest yourself with my body's reaction and patiently and compassionately go through the meds adjustment process yourself.


it's surprising to new users (in a good way, i was happy when i found it) let's remove it.


The UK is sometimes warmer in winter than other european countries further south because of the gulf stream.


I hope this assertion ages well.



Yeah, but the water temperature at this time of year is still pretty cold.


> there is nothing to be positive about

Even though i'm quite anti AI, recycling in Taiwan, killing weeds with lasers and detecting cancer beg to differ.


From what I know there was progress in AI cancer detection before the hype. I consider the big tech advancements is a side show for them. I may be wrong.

I heard nothing about the other stories. AI can code and write generic texts, can pull off a lot of knowledge. But the frontier models are general purpose idiots and any interesting specialization/innovation has probably nothing to do with them.


> which Trump promptly tore up because he has the mental capacity of a fourth-grader.

That would be an insult to fourth graders IMO, my son happens to be one.


Yeah, valid point, I was out of line there. Apologies.

You can, into the ground.
