My wife had anti-NMDA negative Encephalitis two years ago after suffering severe seizures out of the blue - her diagnosis in retrospect is NORSE (new onset refractory status epilepticus). She was put into an induced coma for 2 months, it took a long time before they realised it was encephalitis. Whilst she survived, her recovery is still ongoing. She was 32 when it happened and will never work again due to her brain injury and ongoing epilepsy.

I point blank refuse to have a computer on wheels with cameras and microphones roaming my house with a direct connection to China. It really blows my mind that the majority of people seem to think that's fine.

The verge cookie warning is cool. Stare at her eyes for 10 seconds, then press back.. An imaginary pink box appears.

I think your last two points make up most of the drivers. Particularly now many people are in an un-breakable relationship with their smartphones.

I know many people that simply don't want to entertain the "hassle" of a relationship. It's an inconvenience for them to think about somebody else other than their own immediate needs and wants.

100%, I just closed the tab straight away. No thanks.
