girl@lemmy.bestto World News@beehaw.org•A Decongestant in Cold Medicines Doesn’t Work at All, an F.D.A. Panel SaysEnglish6·2 years agoVery interesting. I wonder what their metric was for determining it doesn’t work. Anecdotally, I use phenylephrine HCl alone and find it keeps me clear most of the time, but not always. I also have to be well hydrated or it actually makes me even more stuffed. Maybe the inconsistency is why they reached this verdict? Maybe I’ve just been experiencing a placebo effect?
I think one of the unique things about being a millennial is we are more adapted to having a lot of technology in our lives than gen x, but we also grew up with less surveillance and have watched it blow up, so we experience more paranoia than gen z. Hence the focus on privacy and FOSS. I know a few gen z’s and they have all lightly mocked me for not using Tik Tok/Snapchat “because of privacy, right?” Not that all gen z’s don’t care, but when you grow up under constant surveillance it’s hard to give a fuck, lack of privacy is the norm.
