🤯 i have to try this now.

Take THAT, Seasonal Affective Disorder!

And by “fast lane” i mean the architectural step into a race to the bottom.

Eventually, things enshittify into two tiers: an expensive subscription tier where things fully function when you pay, and a free tier that barely works (if does not degrade to non-functionality at any moment).

By way of paying for one thing and denying another, patients are strongarmed down a certain route of treatment(s). The policy isn't to test for colorectal cancer until one age when people are dying now. 2/2

Like, until everyone has about the same amount of ability to access and affordance, queues are pretty solid equalization.

Pay-to-play things like allowing the wealthy to skip the line at the expense of everyone else who can’t budget for that kinda ruins the queue by creating a fast lane.

One reason or another, our queen is rocking a mini skirt as an outer layer during a blizzard, and i assume layering is involved.

What is on third base!

Anyways, Gary Seven’s mysterious aura is kinda Culture-coded to me, so an alternative is to read Banks to maybe scratch that whole: “advanced civ interferes with less advanced civ for good” itch.

Just do the damn Gary Seven series.
