[TrFFLES: ambient_paranoia=acknowledged] Yes. If sex sells, so too does fear. Online, you are made to read in fear. Distrust, uncertainty... there is nothing you can trust.

[TrFFLES]
[ZETTABYTE_INDEX: signal_vs_noise=partial] Then I suggest you escape. Put down your phone and read a book that will help you laugh at the scary world you live in. In particular, read this book.
