WTF?

[conuly]

Seriously, when did real life become like something out of a bad sci-fi movie? Please don't answer with such replies as "1984", thanks.

I need to stop reading the news. And to get out of this universe. Anybody making progress moving between parallel worlds? Maybe I can get a group of us, go someplace where sentience didn't evolve. Of course, we'd take plenty of domesticated animals, plants, not to mention ready-packaged supplies. And books, lots of books.

Ditto.

I already don't trust those pills they give me (or used to give me) to make me feel better (SSRI's. etc); now I have to watch out for some spray?

I haven't read the article yet, but I can see it now - they already paint the walls of waiting rooms etc. certain colors to induce calm; some even put fragrance into the air to elicit the same effect. Next they'll be using chemical sprays so that when the receptionist says, "Bye now, have a nice day!" she'll really mean it.

Next: SSRI's piped into supermarkets to increase our buying and cut down on shopping rage...
