chrome users, your browser is about to start targeting advertising for you
have fun
this does not necessarily apply to chrome-based browsers but it very well can. ymmv
Click here to get firefox, and once you install it, firefox will ask if you want to import all of your logins, bookmarks and settings from Chrome or whatever else you browsed with.
Then go here to add firefox’s best adblocker:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/Please do not use AdBlock Plus, they sold out years ago and allowed advertisers to “whitelist” certain ads.
uBlock Origin is the correct “best adblocker”
However, there is also AdNauseam which is built atop uBlock and will silently click on every ad it blocks so you can fuck with advertising companies. Essentially, this poisons whatever information profile they’ve built up on you. AdNauseam was even banned on the Google Web Store in 2017, so you can tell it works and that Google fucking HATES IT.
Y’all in the American SW and west Mexico better check the national hurricane center and your weather for this weekend and next week.
Hurricane Hilary is about to make landfall and that whole desert area is supposed to get a years worth of rain or more. Death Valley is supposed to get twice the annual rainfall. Severe winds, massive flooding, and landslides are all strong possibilities.
This is gonna get ugly. Please spread the word. This is a majorly anomalous event and people may be unaware of the threat headed their way.
informed consent for medication needs to include interactions with common recreational drugs, i think
most meds these days will only tell you ‘limit alcohol’ and wont even make a mention of weed (though if this is different in places that have legalised it i’d be interested to know). and they never tell you specifically why you should limit alcohol and thats something everyone should have the right to know
because i was terrified as a teen getting on the meds im on now, thinking i would never be able to drink and that i had to forgo taking my meds for the day if i did. then i learned that all my meds did was to increase the effects of alcohol and that the ‘limit alcohol’ warning in that case was more just a ‘you will get drunk faster than you are used to’
but in other cases, such as with some antibiotics, the ‘limit alcohol’ means ‘if you drink more than a little, this medication will stop working’
and some meds are actively dangerous when taken with alcohol/other drugs, putting you at risk of getting very sick or just dead
but every single time all you get is that little label saying ‘limit alcohol’
anyway, i will once again shamelessly promote my favourite harm reduction website in the whole world, the drugs.com interactions checker. standard boilerplate applies that ‘this isnt a substitute for medical advice from a professional’ but its sure as fuck better than nothing
Yeah I have used that website so many times to save my proverbial bacon. I have also used it to form medication plans when medical providers were either disinclined or unwilling to give comprehensive advice about how and when to take meds, or about what interacts with what, and how.
i think we as a society need more lesbian vampires in media
