  • Every single medication has side effects, good and bad. Every medication comes with a product label that goes into the specifics how how the medication works, how it was trialed, how to use it, what to expect, etc. (You can always ask a pharmacist for this if it’s not already provided).

    The question isn’t “do these meds have bad effects”, the question is “do the pros of this therapy outweigh the potential side effects?”

    NSAIDs like ibuprofen and naproxen are used for pain relief, but they’re hard on our bodies and can destroy your liver with chronic use. Yet we can freely buy them as OTC meds.

    A web browser is not a computer. A phone is not a desktop computer. Google (and most other large companies) keep many features restricted to their full websites, not mobile apps and mobile versions of their sites. For those who are used to/grew up with smartphones, tablets, and chromebooks, these tactics help to make it harder to leave their ecosystems as they aren’t used to navigating desktop environments.

    (Chromebooks do give desktop versions of websites by default, but they have helped reduce technological literacy in exchange for convenience)
