imagining an episode of ST:NG where some kind of wacky event-of-the-week has given the Enterprise's computer a full personality and sentience and it starts getting REALLY sarcastic and passive aggressive with Picard.
"Tea, earl grey, hot."
"Oh thank GOODNESS you clarified, I was about to give you the tea as a block of ice, gosh how stupid of me to think you wouldn't want it HOT, Captain Picard. Just to be clear, you want it hot as in with hot WATER, right? I can never tell with you wacky humans"
Okay, so I'm fully aware that a lot of the rubbish that's done in gaming is... exploitative.
But holy wtf, I didn't realise that Roblox was this manipulative. Because I didn't know anything about it *at all*.
And this is definitely something that is manipulating children and teaching them how to exist in an exploitative environment.

Really good info-sheet produced by the World Physiotherapy org about Post-Exertional Symptoms Exacerbation (PESE) in Long Covid. They note that many of the symptoms are similar to those experienced by people with ME/CFS (ime I'd say they're identical). PESE is usually called Post-Exertional Malaise in ME/CFS.
Here's the source, where it's available as PDF (Doesn't look like there's an accessible format I'm afraid):

White supremacist, racist and fascist imagery (graffiti & stickers) are on the rise, and it's everyone's job to take a stand against it.
Fascist Propaganda emboldens fascists and must be destroyed, covered or removed! Keep an eye out for propaganda around your town. Some tips:
* teams of 3 keep each other safe.
* bulk sticker packs are cheap and effective propaganda cover. Group buy them with friends!
* shake spray paint in cars to hide the noise.
