Respect it as art and entertainment people like. Personally, could not care less.

You're probably right that we need something like that to appeal to the masses. Sadly.

I think the handcrafted feed will always reign supreme.

Why don't you ask your AI about how to achieve objectivity in your fake writing?

This is something that is not universally true. You would not say something like that if you've ever traveled with small children.

Word of mouth and time. Lots of it. All the ones that need you to be your own algorithm will take longer to gain acceptance with the general public. We'll need a few more Muskerbergian s-storms to motivate people away from the silos as well.

Well, I disagree with you.

but other thanthe anxiety there are no ill effects.

Anxiety, for some of us, is a bad thing in itself and not a negligible side effect. It may not be for you. And consequently I would not have advised you to stop googling medical problems.

But I felt that OP's anxiety was not helped by excessive googling. And it was in this spirit that I advised OP against it.

Will this drive the first wrongfully accused person to suicide or will it just somehow, magically, target all brown and black people? Stay tuned to see how much taxpayer money gets sunk into this tool.

If you have a general practitioner that you go to for your normal illnesses, start there. If the ER doc didn't tell you to make an appointment with a specialist, maybe start smaller.

Stop googling. You didn't study this stuff. And my guess is it won't help with anxiety either.

They're trying to say you bought a phone with bad software. You may want to contact the company to see if they can help you. I'm saying that because my guess is not many people have your phone and will read this and can then help you.

There are countries in Europe that use a broadcast system and not SMS to send emergency alerts. Depends on your location. I'm guessing that with growing environmental catastrophes and the military threat from the East a lot more will be done with these kinds of alerts in the future.

One of them doesn't listen at all. He's also dead so I'm willing to overlook his blatant lack of enthusiasm.

Every case is different and the UK as a political union without a written constitution can technically allow one of their four home nations to become independent (again).

The US has had bad experiences with seceding states. Big kerfuffle that people didn't want to repeat.

When it comes to international recognition of seceding territories, it's frankly a mess. And also, frankly, everything is possible. Kosovo is an example where the majority of the international community decided to recognize it as a sovereign country. It was a solution to a war situation that didn't make all parties happy. Serbia and Russia, for instance, still don't recognize it. So while Mass may not technically be allowed to leave, if it did anyway, it would depend on the reaction from the rest of the union first and foremost, and then on the international community. If they back you and maybe even send peace keepers, there is a chance still. But there is a whole laundry list of things that have to go right for this to happen.

I'd suggest you devote all your energy to fixing the United States first. Resist 47 and his GOP cult followers. Not all is lost just yet.

I don't have the foggiest idea where I could've gotten the idea from.
