Problem is people don't have a lot of control over their subconscious perceptions. The subtle ways that they'll remember two things being side by side and associating the two. This is why brands are careful about what content their ads are shown on.

If you worked in healthcare, there was a pretty clear delineation. We got vaccines and people stopped fucking dying so much.
I opened 2021 to one of our chronic dialysis patients getting admitted for Covid, so severely short of breath they needed to go to the critical care stepdown unit, and I thought "this is it " By the time I was able to arrive at the hospital to run their dialysis, this person was already off oxygen and up walking around their room.
Come to find out, they had been vaccinated. I'm told that was one of the first people in the State of Massachusetts who got Covid after being vaccinated, and the difference in severity was so dramatic I'll never forget it.
That and movie theaters reopening are the only reasons I remember 2021. It was just a lot less scary even though I was still working like crazy.

TNG photo bombing a team of Martian Marines from The Expanse. We're doing Expanse crossovers now.
(I highly recommend watching The Expanse. It's great.)
I chose a deeper cut Expanse reference, but in truth I'm Avasarala in public, Naomi in my heart
Avoiding 5am starvation yowls is exactly why I free feed, and I'm sure it's going to bite me in the ass when my two are older and stop maintaining their weight easily. But for now, they're active and healthy weight even with the free feeding. So we'll see
