Why not just go the whole way and turn
You're seeing the cognitive dissonance of the modern "woke" liberal, exploding in everyone's faces. So worried about being racist that they will argue *for* religious misogyny because they know full well the power of the modern accusation.
Conservatives aren't any better, with their insistence that Trump was chosen by God and that he's had an election "stolen" from him.
We need new thought if we hope to truly grow. We need to get politics out of politics.
>Shrooms for opioid dependence and bipolar disorder?
That's not the dumb part. They're finding psychedelics in general (psilocybin seems to be the one more are focusing on) can have untold benefits in terms of overcoming anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
>And then he injects it?
This is the dumb part. You can't inject the mushrooms itself. Extracted psilocybin or psilocin, possibly. But you don't want those spores floating around in your blood, as this guy discovered.
And fuck Slashdot as well for being unable to properly accept an apostrophe from my iOS device. Itâ(TM)s not 1999 anymore, donâ(TM)t you know?
Fuck the Authorâ(TM)s Guild, and anyone else responsible for the woefully unbalanced clusterfuck that is modern copyright. This pandemic is really showing peopleâ(TM)s true colors better than anything else could have.

Applications should *not* be overriding system network functions with their own.
Guns aren't the problem.
People are the problem.
A strict reading of the law shows that there are allowances for unlicensed rebroadcasting. See 17 USC 111 (a) [emphasis mine]:
(a) CERTAIN SECONDARY TRANSMISSIONS EXEMPTED.-The secondary transmission of a performance or display of a work embodied in a primary transmission is not an infringement of copyright if-
(1) the secondary transmission is not made by a cable system, and consists entirely of the relaying, by the management of a hotel, apartment house, or similar establishment, of signals transmitted by a broadcast station licensed by the Federal Communications Commission, within the local service area of such station, to the private lodgings of guests or residents of such establishment, and no direct charge is made to see or hear the secondary transmission; or
(2) the secondary transmission is made solely for the purpose and under the conditions specified by paragraph (2) of section 110; or
(3) the secondary transmission is made by any carrier who has no direct or indirect control over the content or selection of the primary transmission or over the particular recipients of the secondary transmission, and whose activities with respect to the secondary transmission consist solely of providing wires, cables, or other communications channels for the use of others: Provided, That the provisions of this paragraph extend only to the activities of said carrier with respect to secondary transmissions and do not exempt from liability the activities of others with respect to their own primary or secondary transmissions;
(4) the secondary transmission is made by a satellite carrier pursuant to a statutory license under section 119 or section 122;
(5) the secondary transmission is not made by a cable system but is made by a governmental body, or other nonprofit organization, without any purpose of direct or indirect commercial advantage, and without charge to the recipients of the secondary transmission other than assessments necessary to defray the actual and reasonable costs of maintaining and operating the secondary transmission service.
Copyright isn't a "what I say goes" concept, although they're trying to change that. Copyright is limited in certain ways, and there's merit in the idea that this type of "internet broadcast relay" is legitimate.
They're angling to be covered under existing translator regulations. They geofence to prevent you from watching channels for which you aren't in the locality.I don't see a fat chance of it working (because the courts are already paid for), but in theory they should be operating legally.
Youâ(TM)re looking at an awfully slim percentage of YouTube then. There are many content creators who are putting out interesting quality content.
You can sue non-citizens. You can sue corporations. You can sue the government. You can sue just about anything.
Indeed, people have even tried to sue God. One apparently even won.
Your number three infuriates me. As far as I know, Google Glass never recorded without the LED on, yet somehow people got this idea that anyone wearing Google Glass was secretly recording them. How does the presence of a camera on one's glasses automatically equal a privacy violation for anyone else?
Somehow, the SJWs figured out how to use their tactics on the world stage, even though they *shouldn't* be effective (at least in terms of cancel culture, etc).
Maybe if we dialed back this idea that corporations are people, and instead treated them with the necessary differences, we could enjoy both wide individual freedom as well as a prosperous nation.
The biggest fleece was that they convinced everyone that destroying your body with underpaid work was a path to some sort of better way, when most people end up spending their whole lives working and working and working, and finally there's no life left to live.
Don't fool yourself that the European way is the answer, however - there are plenty of corruption and freedom issues to deal with in Europe as well.
I feel that we have yet, as a human race, discovered the best way to structure our society. The trouble is, the entrenched entities have a vested interest in making sure we never do.
The time for revolution in the western world is not behind us. Eventually things will end up boiling to a head and something will give, one way or the other.
