The biggest problem I see with this is staying current and sharp with your tech skills and also explaining those gaps. It’s definitely possible though, especially if you’re able to live frugally.

After all, one can’t complain. I have my friends. Somebody spoke to me only yesterday. And was it last week or the week before that Rabbit bumped into me and said ‘Bother!’ The Social Round. Always something going on.

Hit us with some ticker symbols.

It’s safe for your computer, but perhaps not for your eyes or brain. Lots of bright colors and bold claims.

This is the right answer. It’s worth noting I traveled domestically and internationally quite a bit lately and I carry prescribed and controlled meds loose in a container. I carry maybe 6 pills total and no one has ever cared or asked about them.

Just a little off the top

I think the hardship and struggles further enforce the “us vs the world” mindset and I suspect only makes them dig in harder.

I think they get in with the wrong crowd online and then it starts to turn into a “them vs the world” type thing. When you and your buddies are the only holders of truth and the entire world is crooked, I suspect that’s a powerful motivator to continue to believe this shit.

It’s a really bad solution honestly. Benzo withdrawal can kill you and it’s extremely habit forming. Especially if you’re using it to treat insomnia, finding a way to stop taking it is gonna be tough.

No solution provided, just giving some caution and saying that using Xanax to sleep is roughly equivalent to getting drunk to sleep. Both affect your GABA receptors and both are habit forming and dangerous to withdrawal from.

An eye of newt is actually a mustard seed. This isn’t terribly helpful, but there ya go.

I am rubber, you are glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you.

Foiled by elementary school tactics.

I use Morse code spelling out SOS as my alert for “oh shit”.

Picking up trash

This is exactly how you fix it

You’re out of luck for Apple TV, but not for iOS. I uninstalled YouTube from my phone and use Orion browser as my default now. It lets you install extensions from the Firefox or Chrome store, so I have ublock origin installed on my phone now and YouTube ads are gone.

It was a neutral impact.

I made the comment because I don’t understand your motivation here. You’re making contrary statements while asking for a solution. I came to offer one, but decided not to because it’s ad blocker centric.
