I think enforcing some universal API for this would be a decent compromise. This would allow browsers to handle the UI which means the user can set a global preference or set it per site. At the very least the UI would be uniform so you wouldn't have to fight dark patterns trying to disable them.

I know too many people that think Starbucks is the only place that makes good coffee and refuse to go anywhere else. No, you like strong roasts, lots of sugar, and plenty of advertising, most of which you can get anywhere else if you just ask.

A large factor is probably the increase of phone use. I've driven into a lot of shit looking at my phone.

The problem with psychiatry is that it's expected to have quick fixes like other schools of medicine. Often the conditions are chronic and the treatment is long term at best which makes it slow and expensive. Drugs can help in the short term but they're often not able to be replaced by correct treatment due to funding.

Is it really? Can someone not just like the potter series and either disagree with or ignore the politics of the author?

Because the genetics that build the vocal tract could be different, which in simple terms could mean a change in pitch. There are also more cultural differences such as speech cadence, accent, and inflection.

More like 1-2 thousand. Our politicians are surprisingly cheap to bribe

It does safeguard to some extent. The goty editions will typically have all patches that didn't exist on the launch version. This is usually an issue for offline play/preservation where the platform that would provide you with updates no longer exist.

There's a concept that should be familiar to a business owner called value based pricing where you charge based upon a (usually service) product's perceived value rather than the cost of producing it. Make a game worth giving time and money to then you'll have success. Fill it with pointless content to pad out the hours and it is neither worth the time nor the money

Another government related one. The UK government were until 2015 still paying compensation to families that made their wealth in the slave trade, for it's abolition. Another way to read this is that some wealthy families accepted tax payers money as compensation for their ancestors no longer being able to profit from the abuse of humans.

Thinking that it's cheating sounds like you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself. Well done for finding a way to get past that. You should try thinking more about the outcome than the activity. Say you didn't have the energy to use soap, you're still going to be cleaner than before you went in. Making each activity as frictionless as possible (maybe though 'cheating') helps build it into a habit and once the task has been habitualised you'll be doing it without thinking.

Well done again for problem solving your issue.
