This has been going on for years, including inside the EU, for those wondering. You can test to see if it happens for you by going to a flight website, getting a price for a flight, then go back a few times to search for the same flight.

The question of what you do to fight it is by clearing the cookie for the website, using a different browser and/or changing your location/block tracking (use a VPN or tor). Usually clearing the cookie is enough.

I agree completely about the therapists in Ted Lasso, but they weren't the main characters in the story, so it didn't bother me so much.

I've never seen it but I'll have to watch it now. Every movie or television therapist I've ever seen are terrible.

The idea that underprivileged groups create echo chambers is laughable when you think of the number of explicity conservative social media platforms.

As I said to someone below, my guess is that you are not part of an oppressed group? It is very easy for those used to privilege to criticise those from less privileged groups for wanting their own spaces because they have not experienced what it is like to be othered.

The point is to be free from the oppression that they experience often on a daily basis, not to keep their ideas unchallenged.

Citations Needed podcast had an episode about the link between the colonial settler myth and eating meat (episode 139) which was really good. (Summarising very badly) Eating meat became proof of the settler dominion over the land, animals and peoples (Native Americans) of the West and was pushed to maintain the narrative.

Edit: I also recommend a recent episode of Maintenance Phase where they debunk the paleo diet and have past episodes on Peterson.

Shrinking might be a good positive depiction of positive masculinity (I don't think it is, he's a toxic asshole who puts his stuff on everyone else) but I couldn't get over the fact that he's supposed to be a therapist. I'm a psychotherapist and Segal's wildly unethical behaviour, never mind the unethical behaviour of his workmates (who should have reported him) made me really dislike this show. I loved Ted Lasso and Shrinking is not on the same level.

That's tough then, maybe a stuffed animal as others have suggested, or something with sentimental value, like a metaphorical hug?

I have a favorite hoodie that does it for me. It was my wife's first gift to me so there's sentimental value and it's really comfortable because it's so old. Buy a size larger than you normally get to avoid tightness and buy something a little more expensive for the quality (so it lasts longer) and softness (I'm assuming you don't like rough clothes).

Only flowering plants are pollinated by bees and even then not all of them. Ferns evolved before flowers existed so of course they need a different way to breed.

If you mean Australia, I just checked shipping with reMarkable and it's free.
