alot of stuff you can read about meditiation is hooey, but practicing mindfulness and letting thoughts pass you by is a useful skill to practice. it takes some work, especially if you have a focus/anxiety problem. dont let your mind dwell on a thought, but dont push it out of your head, just "finish the sentence" as it were and move on to the next empty moment. it helps some people to visualize wiping a white board, smoothing sand, calming waves/ripples, etc.

cant speak for everyone but there are the ever present provacy concerns of all your messages being scraped to feed LLMs and other data structures, and any monopoly for communications that develops is bad in principle. Also running a chrome app is a no for some people.

"perfectly?" have you played any main series titles? theyre all rushed with underbaked plots, and who the hell said anything about needing to be a boy to like them?

youre probably not the type to keep a body in your garage to begin with in that case.

you've never stayed with friends or family out of town? you would ask a murderer about the body you found in their freezer instead of getting out and calling the cops? until the public record is set on whats going on, good journalism keeps the facts relatively open to avoid being incorrect and/or bringing on a lawsuit. the outlet likely doesnt have more information than this that cant be used for identification.
