Acetaminophen is a fever reducer

(I'm sorry, I haven't been on in awhile but saw that you didn't get an answer)

I'm sure you can just Google what the benefit of using Firefox is. When "privacy" is talked about in terms of web browsers and apps, it's mainly about blocking trackers. Ad companies inject trackers into websites and apps, which collect your data. Google has their own ad company, and by using Chrome, you're supplying them with personal information without them even having to pay. Firefox doesn't sell your information. They also have many extensions available that will block any data collecting attempts from websites.

Duck Duck Go is even more secure. The whole point of their browser is for user privacy. Their app even blocks other apps from tracking you. You'd be amazed by the data collected by apps. My fucking shopping list app has trackers from multiple companies.

I switched from Chrome to Firefox somewhat recently. The experience really isn't any different, except Firefox doesn't use 110% of your CPU.

I have a ton of privacy extensions which causes a few issues when creating accounts by linking to your Google account (the pop-up is blocked) or opening redirect links to apps (I think it's only Discord that I've had an issue with). I don't consider those drawbacks because the browser is doing its job. Instead, I go copy and paste the link in Chrome.

Check out other Assassin's Creed games! I agree that Red Dead Redemption is anther good suggestion. I suggest the first one as well. Maybe Fable? The second one was my favorite, but people rave about the first one as well. I didn't play the first one until I didn't have as much time to game.

This might be a miss, but the Sims can be insane with mods. You can cheat their needs and not worry about those. Sims 3 is open world and the best of the series, but I'm not as familiar with the mods available for it. There are Sims 4 mods that introduce murder (guns and knives provided of course), drugs and gangs, zombies, prostitution, murderous toddlers, and much more that I can't think of right now.

Modders are fucking lunatics when it comes to the Sims. Someone made a mod for Sims 3 where you could grill and eat a baby. EA stepped in to shut that down...

Medicine does not prolong the healing process. The only "beneficial" side effect is the fever, but there isn't hard evidence that it's better or worse to bring down a fever (unless you hit 102°F or higher). If you choose to let your body do its thing and burn down the house, just avoid acetaminophen (Tylenol).

Colds often take up to a week or more to pass, so there's a chance that you won't be better in 3 days.

Vitamin C and vitamin D3 are also good for your immune system.

There's an issue with your VPN.

Wefwef just officially renamed their app as Voyager

The devs are aware

To answer one question, the admins are able to view email addresses I believe. My knowledge comes from "I read it in a comment awhile ago that sounded credible" so I could be wrong.

I agree. The NSFW instance already did this. We don't know the full extent of the breech or when it will end. .world already reopened once while still compromised.

I think defederation until we get an all clear from the admins of those instances would be a good measure to protect our users.
