While I’m unhappy about potentially losing Signal, the second half of the article about expanding ASIO’s powers is even more chilling. Most people I know don’t use or care about Signal unfortunately.

Goon is the slang for any wine of questionable quality that comes in a goon bag. Probably the wine turns you into a goon after you drink it
Correct - the goon bag is what the goon comes in
Haha, in Australia goon is the cheap wine you buy in boxes rather than bottles, so I was imagining 5 minutes to down an entire 5 or 10 litres
More than just ADHDers, but… Thought this was just normal life
Thanks - missed that part
How do they know there wasn’t a trading system back then though?
Basically they’re seeing slower speech overall: “Instead, overall reaction time – the raw speed of pulling any word – stood out as the best indicator. The finding nudged attention back toward general processing speed.”
Near the bottom of this article it mentions that WFD isn’t the thing, but instead reaction time. Either way this does require an expert opinion
UK and Australia I’m originally from the UK but lived in Aus for 20 years. I returned to the UK a year ago due to my Mom getting a terminal diagnosis.
In the UK I’ve had two GPs this year due to moving around. First GP you’d request appointments via an online form that was available for about an hour at the start of every day and they’d send you a date and time once they’d triaged all the requests. Usually got in within a day or two. Second GP requires a call, and you can book an appointment provided it’s not a busy day, again usually 2-3 days depending on how busy they are. Both GPs were via the NHS, so no upfront cost, just a small amount taken from your pay each month.
In Aus, my GP was free at the point of delivery. It was pretty easy to get appointments and if you really wanted to see him, you could just turn up and wait until he could fit you in. Sometimes a 2 hour wait, but you could put your name down and return in 2 hours. I’m planning to change GP when I get back so will probably end up finding one where you pay an additional fee. There’s almost no doctors where you don’t pay extra any more.

True, but that extra layer of difficulty will slough off the tiny percentage of my friends and family that do use Signal. I’ve the knowledge and motivation to use it; most people just want to download an app, make an account and get started
