Suggestion for how to cope with the combination of Information Overload & Flooding The Zone.
Don't check socials the moment you wake nor check conventional news. Do anything else @ all.
Aim for half an hour as minimum target.
Also start your day with GOOD news if you want news.
Most people are good!
Currently wondering who's worse for "accidentally" omitting relevant facts, framing third party opinions as facts, framing rumours with no credible evidence from "unnamed" sources as unquestionably credible sources out of:

The Morning Star, Dorset Eye, AAV, The Guardian, BrexiTraitor press & Reform

Great idea not to mention that the entire saving was made in the year ending March 2025, two months before Reform took over.

Absolutely fucking outrageous that Steam acts like a petty little censor, dictating what gamers can play. Proper unreconstructed 1980s bullshit.

Horror game Horses has been banned from sale – but is it as controversial as you’d think?
Pulled by Steam and Epic Games Store, indie horror Horses shook up the industry before it was even released. Now it’s out, all the drama surrounding it seems superfluous

Yeah erm this game in particular allegedly got the bans for having nude underage children getting ridden around like horses.

Don't like how Steam do things?

Don't use Steam and get your games from elsewhere across the internet.

Also pulled by Epic, not just Steam. The problem that all gaming distribution platforms have is they have to cater to both adults and children. Working in tech, personally I can understand both sides of the argument. The choices they make will always piss someone off.

I might not agree with it but it's completely within their right to restrict what is & is not accepted onto their platform. A bit of an over exaggeration to say that they're dictating what gamers can and can't play. The game is easily available from other platforms (Humble Bundle).

At what point are they responsible for the content they sell?

Should they have to have limits?

Wouldn't any limit essentially be arbitrary?

Can you think of a concept for a game that you think crosses "the line"?

Can you see why a line should be drawn "somewhere"?

Valve's problem has always been consistency when it comes to what's allowed on Steam.

That said, there's definitely something weird going on with this game specifically and the way it was getting banned and unbanned from storefronts. The devs have certainly been milking it for all they can.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but:
Crony Capitalism Oligarchy pretending it's the Free Market,

Here's my own personal medical hypothesis:
I'm not actually Schizo-affective or Schizo related diagnosis in any way.
Never was.
I'm Bipolar 1.
While also taken a lot of illegal drugs since childhood.
A life of drug induced psychosis plus Bipolar 1.
Now I don't take illegal drugs everything is better

There are two key incredibly weird things about Dark Matter:

Either it exists but defies all direct detection, so description and full explanation of what it actually is for now and maybe forever.

Or it doesn't exist, which completely breaks modern astrophysics in so many ways
Eg. Galaxy formation

I'm thinking about Fibromyalgia again.
I think it's possible it's a set of mostly overlapping symptoms with a variety of different causes.
Now my focus is on Lyme Disease, which I am increasingly convinced is going massively underdiagnosed;
Then presenting as various illnesses including Fibromyalgia

Here's an interesting medical anomaly I think is worthy of further investigation:
Lyme Disease is entirely possible in UK but regarded as extremely rare. Ok maybe.
Here's the anomaly:
The "High risk areas" are the cold Scotland & warmer South of England.
Ostensibly not the rest of the country.
Why?🤷🏻‍♂️

Why is it ticks that can survive in cold Scotland, which maybe prefer the South of England, wouldn't be present in a middling amount across the rest of mainland UK?
All it takes is long grass, animals, ideally deer.
Is Lyme Disease actually lower risk there or massively under diagnosed?
Which is it?

In Scotland the men wear skirts, and in the south, shorts. Her in the middle we wear proper trousers......does that box all the ticks?
