Get him some of that crystal stick deodorant, it actually works until your armpit bacteria adjust to it. Usually you’ll get a year or so use out of it before selection grows exclusively resistant bacteria.
I had a housemate who was into Facebook health influencers at one point, absolutely nothing would reach him when we told him “you stink, you need to keep yourself clean.” We had to punt him, the BO was just one of the problems we had with him.
Better to figure this out late than never I guess. Wasn’t this obvious 10+y ago though? Facebook has always been a predatory propaganda firehose.

Oh yeah, that’s the cheap part when compared to medical care
Edit: imagine monthly premiums ranging from $700-1200 with an out of pocket (monthly) max spend of $16k+. Oh, and dental and vision are separate policies.

Cuba, for medical and/or dental care I can’t afford in the US

I prefer buying refurb laptops on eBay personally. eBay’s buyer protections are top tier, you can return the machine easily if it’s not exactly what was represented in the listing or if there’s any undisclosed damage or loss of function. Essentially you’re getting what the listing showed you or it’s like 5 clicks for a seller paid return label to send it back for a full refund (including any shipping costs both ways.)
Amazon is hit and miss in my experience, they care about their cut of that particular transaction and moving product out of the warehouse ASAP and not so much about whether you’re coming back to make more transactions in the future. Their customer service is atrocious too, you have to fight for a refund a lot of the time.
Edit, more detail in case you really want fleaBay to work for you:
If you’re going to shop eBay regularly go look up their buyer protection policies (so you know what they can and will do for you) and also take a look at the item condition and listing policies that apply to sellers.
Sellers often list items under the wrong condition category (like selling broken things in “Used” condition with an “AS-IS” disclaimer) and try to weasel in “as-is no refunds” or similar wording into the listing description. Well, they can say whatever they want, but unless the item meets the condition specified in eBay’s listing policy you’re still entitled to an easy refund at no cost if that item arrives at your door in less than fully functional condition (and with all cosmetic damage clearly described in the listing before the sale.)
Once you understand how eBay handles policy disputes (they always adhere to policy, and almost always find in favor of the buyer when they don’t) you can hold scummy sellers over a barrel and demand a partial refund when items arrive damaged, or just ship the whole mess back to them at their expense and wash your hands of it.
TL;DR: eBay is a great place to buy, not so much to sell
That’s just resting cat face. If you open the door he’ll come in and be chill.
They lobby for public health and investment spending that will guarantee their own income rather than actually curing health conditions.
Why invest in curing a health condition when you can sell symptom management for a person’s entire lifetime instead?
That’s one way to get up close and personal with a cobra chicken
I miss windows eating my work when it chooses to install updates and reboot automatically while I’m asleep
Edit: even after I’ve set registry flags and policies to “never automatically reboot” - it’s always fun losing 4 days of work because windows randomly says “fuck you”
I get spam like this on every single messaging platform eventually. Just block and report it and get on with your life.

“Credible exit” is just the twitterati huffing their own farts. Bluesky has exactly the same monetization problems twitter did and any other ultimate result beyond selling the company off to the highest bidder is fantasy.
Eventually, sooner or later, bluesky will fatten a nice crop of highly engaged users and sell the platform to someone with a better plan to monetize all of those eyeballs. The only real question is who? Will it be fElon Musk? Will it be ZuckerBot? Will it be some other billionaire who wants to own their own left leaning Twitter clone so they can monetize all those professional eyeballs with greater than average disposable income? Keep using the platform to find out!
