I don't have fb or the youtube app and haven't for years... so I'm not sure what was doing it. I have ublock origin now, so if it's still happening I wouldn't know.

Honestly the thought of them pouring that much money into r&d and launching that spyware just to have us plebs block the end result(ads) does feel kinda good at least.

I feel like we've been gaslighted so bad about this that we were even denying each other's reality.

I knew they had to be doing this so I turned off all mic permissions. One day it pissed me off so much I started keeping my phone off completely unless I needed to use it.

The only good thing that came out of it was I learned about ad blockers. Fine, listen to me since I can't fucking stop you(keeping phone off was inconvenient), but it's futile now and you wasted money since I won't see your stupid fucking ads anymore.

Everyone should send these shitty people drawings of poop. Good ones, bad ones. Whatever your drawing level..... draw a poop, lable it with "poop" if youre not sure theyll get it and send it. That should get across that we collectively think they are shit.

These types of assholes usually have po box for their businesses at the very least. On their website they typically have some sort of mailing address under "contact us."

If we can get inundated with junk mail everyday from shitty businesses advertising I think we can return the favor on this one.

Edit - put the return address from the north pole

I don't know man, in the US people pay insurance companies money to have access to life saving medications like insulin. So in a way we pay people so we don't die from medical neglect.... which could be considered negligent homicide depending on how you argue it.

This sort of bullshit is normalized in the US. I dont like that our country operates like the mafia, but here we are.

What an interesting part of my comment to nitpick.

Either you have an issue with the terminology..in which case take the terminology issues to Elon. I sure as fuck didn't invent the terms.

Or you buy into whatever garbage comes out his mouth. In which case don't talk to me.

That's why I added if you have the means, I absolutely understand if you don't. I just had a tooth extracted that was overdue by a few years. Just didn't have the money to get it filled before it cracked in half and I was in excruciating pain for months. I get it.

Maybe try a community health center if you have one near you? They usually do a sliding scale and can make referrals to doctors who work with uninsured or under-insured people. That's how I got my tooth taken care of without being thousands in debt after. Just google "community health centers near 'name of town & state." That is if you feel like pursuing it. Totally get it if you don't, but the above info can help with other health related issues too.

Either way, I hope even a little of that info is helpful to you. I fucking hate healthcare that's useless AND expensive. Wishing you the best.

Ugh. Sometimes I think drs just say "it's all in your head" as an easy way to handwave people out the door. They get paid regardless if they solve your problem or not. I'm sorry that happened to you. If you aren't sleeping well that's an issue. Any sleep specialist worth their salt knows this.

It took me about 10 years to get my diagnosis so I feel this. If you have the means maybe seek out a different sleep specialist and do a second test under that one. It's frustrating that to need to do that, but unfortunately that's what it comes to when you run into asshole doctors who don't care, don't bother listen, or just assume your a moron and your suffering is your own doing.

Best luck to you! I hope you get it figured out and find some relief soon

I guess they forgot that people like Martin Luther King Jr. got shot and killed for speaking out against these so called "high T, alpha males."

Being proud of using intimidation tactics is fucking weird and pathetic. Blaming it on garbage pseudo science lowers the bar into degeneracy. THEN turning it into victim blaming...."you're too weak to have anything worthwhile to contribute" is just... wow.

Evolutionary psychology was an interesting hypothesis, but it will never recover from these dipshits utilizing it as the loudest dog whistle in history...used to justify sexism and bigotry. I wish they'd all get in elons rocket and be the first people to land on the sun.

Have you tried having a sleep study done? Sometimes your body can go through the sleep cycles weird, or they get interupted resulting in being really tired all the time. A sleep specialist can see what's going on and help you fix it.

Diseases spread via human feces which why we tend to not use it. We could sanitize it by processing it, but then it won't carry the benefit of beneficial bacteria cultures so it's not as good as animal supplied manures.

Is there? Damn I just kinda picked an instance randomly before I really understood what that meant. Now I'm sad.

Same! No kids, no air travel(hate planes and have no real reason to be flying). I try to only eat chicken and fish(health reasons) so I guess I'm doing pretty good on my environmental impact.
