One of my big take aways from a recent trip the US was the drug adverts on TV. Crazy seeing side effects being read out as like “may cause death, will result in an increase of stroke risk, 90% of patients report anal leakage while using Randomdrugoxicam, erectile dysfunction may continue for up to 48 years after treatment has ceased” or whatever and the footage is these happy laughing people in parks throwing their kid up in the air, walking their dog, hugging family etc. Totally dystopian.

They do that to distract you from the side effects. If you see people smiling and laughing you won’t think it’s bad.
