Enshittified public toilet
It cheats you in through a back door, looking like an ad-covered kiosk. The main entrance is on the other side.
In stalls, there are two screens playing ads, sound coming from the one you’re facing.
Toilet paper brands advertise on dispensers, all brands owned by the same conglomerate.
Softest toilet paper has printed portraits of the toilet company’s political enemies.
Facial recognition measures usage, you pay at exit.
Exiting after 5 minutes is expensive, but a monthly plan is cheaper.
OkCupid used to be the best for finding matching people: they crowdsourced thousands of relevant multiple choice questions from which you built your search filter: which answers you accept, how important each is to you, and a voluntary explanation. The questions and match results were factored into friendship, dating, and sex.
Then Match Group bought it. First they let it be, but then they:
Avoid the whole Match Group.
Now that I think of it, the destruction of OkCupid looks like a politically motivated attack against the minorities and intellectual power users who used to flock there.
Improving your driving license quality would save so much money by reducing worker deaths.
You work too much. Your work quality suffers because of it. Studies have shown the optimum amount of time to do serious mental work in a day is less than half of how much you all work since childhood cram schools.

I know of two ways it can be. You know how the body fights infection with a fever - well I have some chronic inflammation in the gut that is exacerbated by cold exposure, and the gut becomes more leaky after going out in the winter. Tyramine from aged foods leaks into the bloodstream, causing various symptoms. I drink hot water now.
The other is

Keeping up appearances at all costs accumulates moral debt and leads to monumental failures down the line. Everyone knows the senile boss is about to make another mistake, but the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, so everyone shuts up until bankruptcy and suicides.
Your edit looks like double-enter style. That works without the double-space, but makes two newlines. Bug or feature…
Each line needs to end in a double space for the newline to work.
Example.
When a trailer starts oscillating because it was loaded rear-heavy, “going full throttle will straighten it out”. It didn’t, car spun, load flew in a ditch.
The trailer did feel restless after turns, so I assumed it’ll be fine if I steer smoothly. The first 10km went okay, but then there was a downhill, and that somehow increased the instability and it went mad. Speed was constant 80km/h.

Some projects can be done as part of university courses cheaply and slowly.
There are physiological causes of anxiety.

A link shouldn’t be a riddle when many don’t have tooltips anymore.
I’ve heard magnesium oxide is the most diarrheic and least effective otherwise, so I avoid that. I take magnesium citrate, carbonate, hydroxide, acetate, malate, bisglycinate, taurate, gluconate, or whatever combination of them happens to be cheap. Never tried threonate because it’s so expensive.
There was even more anxiety with caffeine, so yeah, related.
Caffeine increased my muscle tension. Muscle relaxants counteracted it. Now off both, taking lots of magnesium.
People vote for greed because schooling indoctrinates hierarchy:

Those impulses were edited out in the eugenics era. I believe we can’t survive future weapons without it.
… score-settling and battles to control the drug market. …
So legalize all drugs, stupid. You already made Systembolaget to sell dangerous intoxicants so that gangsters can’t compete and people don’t go blind or die from impurites or drinking too much of unknown strength.
My bank’s mutual fund let me buy and sell at yesterday’s price, so every time the stock market went up, I bought, and when it went down, I sold. I talked to a teller about it, wondering how much money the mutual fund rule designer had pumped money out of the bank by then. They quickly changed the rule into a non-insane form: today’s price.
I should have just shut up and kept pumping money out of the idiot bank, but I was young and stupid. The bank was in the game, the bank was fair game.
