OMG, that makes it so much worse. If someone tells you about a specific place, and you want to look it up later, you have absolutely zero chance of ever spelling it correctly. Good luck typing lester or woster in Wikipedia or Maps.

I can only think if Toron(t)o. Never really thought about other towns doing the same thing.

A friend of mine switched from a dumb phone to a smart phone some time in around 2015. He said that the dumb phone was keeping him isolated from the rest of the world. He was unable to communicate with the with certain people because they were sending messages using whatsapp, facebook and all that modern spyware trash. It was too late to stick to a dumb phone back then, and now it’s even worse. If you want to isolate yourself from the people around you, a dumb phone has become an excellent tool to achieve that.

Even though the reasons for buying these products are different, the mechanics are surprisingly similar.

Here’s an example. A nicotine addict has to choose between keeping on smoking or going through the struggles of quitting. Someone driving a car has the choice of keeping the current job, or going through the trouble of finding a job that happens to be within cycling distance. People tend to pick the easier option, even though there are good reasons for going through all the trouble.

It’s because of price elasticity, people are going to keep on buying cigarettes even if the price keeps on increasing. If smoking becomes as expensive as renting an apartment or owning a car, that’s when we’re going to see some decrease in cigarette consumption. At the moment, people also complain about electricity and gasoline prices, but I suspect those prices could double without hurting sales that much. Increasing them about 10X would probably cross a line and people would start using those resources as sparingly as possible.

LOL. Those raid ads baked into the OS were just a cherry on top.

Unicycles are clearly more dangerous than skis.

Yes. It’s fakeception all the way.

After all, there are fake doctors, so why not fake patients too? There’s also fake medicine, so all of it should work out perfectly.

No internal organs either! Looks like they were all scooped out, as if this dino was being prepared for mummification.

There’s also a clear fracture line in the chest. My guess is that’s where the chest pain was coming from.
