reddit post from a presumably young person who watched sex and the city and couldnβt get over how much people smoked indoors. βwouldnβt everything smell bad?β they asked
this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

Periodic reminder that 95% of the time when you hear about someone who "left their corporate job to follow their passion," either:
- they were rich enough they didn't need the job in the first place
- they're overstating how important or powerful that corporate job was, or
- they were fired

Big Tech collecting data and spying on us is pretty bad. But on the other hand all their software is buggy unusable broken shit. So it's not far fetched to assume that this quality may extend down to the data collection and processing too. So maybe it all cancels out in the end?
