Also in the mean time, this channel (Dr Rowe) has guides to relieving various nerve and muscle pains, and it seems to be effective for a lot of people who are being let down by doctors. Have a scroll through his channel and see if your area of pain comes up.

    Yeah I would go for that and get it on the dark web if you can actually source it there. NHS sounds like it has been massively unhelpful to you and like they want to make you live on benefits or something.

    Though some things to consider:

    • are you actually going to be able to receive deliveries of it long-term? The post office is probably quite good at detecting when medicine is in a package and then the state is probably very tough on denying any alternative medicine sourcing.
    • Is it addictive in any way? Have you got the ideal dosage worked out?

    Once you've got an answer to those questions, go for it.

    I have been told that in tropical places there is an abundance of food, so over there is ideal, but there's also mosquitos and disease and it's not an environment i'm familiar with.

    Probably somewhere really remote but near to human settlement - easier to get casual work, hopefully?? Because less available workforce?

    The sensible answer is probably "somewhere with good social safety net' like The Neterpherlands or Sweden.

    And if we think "wilderness survival" situation, the only answer for me would be somewhere temperate or sub arctic because those are the environments i'm familiar with; europe woukd be nice, but is there anywhere truly remote there?

    Can i just say that even if the idea that "a UBI would immediately be cancelled out by landlords or utilities providers," is not true in general, it would probably end up being the case in our country.

    Lol I think the downvotes show thst you're definitely the best at appreciating this.

    I think you're right. Life is getting better, science and tech wise, npbut it might be getting stupider too (e.g managers jump the gun in firing someone because they assume a public LLM service will do the job just as well)

    Have you seen that youtuber/tiktoker who has the pet pigeon? flatwavelength

    Fun content.

    When i hear about how usefuo they were in the past i'm always trying to re-domesticste them.

    Fun pigeon fact: they can be trained to distinguish MRI scans of people with cancer from ones that don't have cancer.

    Deputy leader’s image on X was almost certainly generated or altered using AI, according to Peryton Intelligence

    In a picture of a blue-skied day in Birmingham, a diverse group of Reform supporters gathered with placards and cheesy grins to knock on doors for their party. Richard Tice, the party’s deputy leader, posted the picture as evidence of the activists’ commitment through thick and thin.

    But on closer inspection, the image looks to many observers more like something else: sausage fingers, melted faces, and AI manipulation.

     

    Because obviously red squirrels are still squirrels, but there's just far less of them. Don't think people would mind the occasional squirrel raid as long as they knew there was only going to be one of them for the entire neighbourhood. Alas.

    Instead we dip into the UK's defense budget to engineer elaborste cages which leave karger birds hungry just to give a big middle finger to the grey bouncy buggers.

    Bonus picture:

    Don't know if/how this one got out again, it just came up when i searched for visual examples. Goes to show that we're never really safe. They can even get into our homes!
