Bobby fingers came in swinging with high production value from day 1. He doesn't have many videos but the quality of them is so good.

Fears also takes more forms than staying away from something. People with what you might define as more conventional phobias would avoid the thing they don't like (maybe spiders), many would hate the thing and others may even seek to destroy it.

I think enforcing some universal API for this would be a decent compromise. This would allow browsers to handle the UI which means the user can set a global preference or set it per site. At the very least the UI would be uniform so you wouldn't have to fight dark patterns trying to disable them.

I'm not an expert by any means but just happen to have some knowledge on the subject.

It really depends on the condition, how severe it is and if there are any compounding issues. Take something like depression as an example. In my country, UK, you'll often end up on antidepressants, and get a referral to a specialist if you're lucky. The specialist likely won't have the funding or at least a huge backlog of patients to work through so they'll be trying to get you out on your own as soon a possible, which means getting you to 'good enough'. As a result you'll likely remain on antidepressants when continued therapy would be much more beneficial and could take you off the medication. Drugs are cheap but time with a therapist is not.

The problem with psychiatry is that it's expected to have quick fixes like other schools of medicine. Often the conditions are chronic and the treatment is long term at best which makes it slow and expensive. Drugs can help in the short term but they're often not able to be replaced by correct treatment due to funding.

Fun stories like this remind me why my country (UK) just never feels connected to Europe. We've got this amazing continent on our doorstep but the poor state of our language education prevents many from feeling comfortable to explore it. I would love to share a story like this.

Because the genetics that build the vocal tract could be different, which in simple terms could mean a change in pitch. There are also more cultural differences such as speech cadence, accent, and inflection.

More like 1-2 thousand. Our politicians are surprisingly cheap to bribe

Really depends what you want to create but there's nothing wrong with just writing html and css. They're as portable as you can get.

If you're planning to do a lot of editing/posting then a static site genarator would be the next best thing as again you just end up with html and css which can be hosted anywhere. The generator can run on your system. Most are powered by markdown files so the content can (with little work) be migrated to another generator.

Beyond this you're starting to get in to cms or other complex systems which i think is out of the scope of your question.

Its great that you're concerned about your safety online but when considering that you should also think of the fact that these celebrities are also people and deserve the same safety you expect for yourself.
